Great product

By Ayanna A., Glendale, CA, Verified Reviewer

I’ve had the Livia for 2 months now. This product is amazing. I would recommend it to anyone suffering from horrible menstrual cramps. I have had debilitating cramps for years. I would miss school and work due to the pain. I’ve tried prescription pain meds and birth control. Nothing has worked the way Livia does. The only issue would be communication with the company and delivery. They say 3-5 days in the USA but my packages arrived over 3 weeks after I placed my order. I purchased two devices.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

LOVE it!

By Aliza R., Topeka, KS, Verified Reviewer

I have a Tilted Uterus and experience almost 100% of my menstrual pain in my lower back, before Livia I was taking 800MG of ibuprofen several times throughout the day and using a heating pad whenever I possibly could. I was miserable.

Livia took my pain away to the point I thought I wasn’t having cramps, so I took Livia off and within a couple of minutes, I was experiencing intense cramps. I put Livia back on and the pain immediately went away! Livia is easy to use and certainly a lifesaver. Get one, and pass the word along!

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Where has this amazing invention been all my life?

By Nicole K., Newnan, GA, Verified Reviewer

For 18 years I’ve suffered with crippling period pain. My daughter has been suffering with the same crippling period pain for almost 4 years. Livia has truly changed our lives. It stops period pain in its’ tracks. Livia is safe, effective, and discreet. It works, and it’s worth every cent.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Irresponsible business

By Alex J., United Kingdom, Verified Reviewer

Just want to put out a warning on this device.

They are sent from the US and incur £32 customs charge. The website does not make this clear, even selling in £’s.

Further, they do not dispatch for a week...and delivery is even longer, contrary to website claims.

They fail to cancel prior to dispatch (over the late dispatch) despite this being on their terms of use.

Customer services have declined to deal with any complaints.

I feel this is kind of taking advantage of women. If you look up TENS devices in the UK, you will find cheaper but less pretty alternatives.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I don't want to live without one.

By Audrey M., California, Verified Reviewer

Greetings,

When I first saw Livia for sale on Amazon, I wondered if it could help me. I have lived with terrible pain monthly, cramps caused by a tilted uterus. I need medication quickly, and while waiting for that to help, I put on my Livia device and it is a tremendous help. This has enabled me to function far better and while I wait for medicine to work, this is already stopping the pain, and Livia absolutely necessary for me now. I keep it on all day, and night (and power it up as needed) my entire period. I was also very pleased it's made in Israel, because I trust the quality.

Livia has been a blessing in my life.

P.S. I like menstrual cups too.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Scam alert! Do not buy this product.

By Roberta P., Catalonia, Spain, Verified Reviewer

If you're considering buying Livia for period pain, DON'T. If it doesn't work for you, you'll never get your money back. Like so many other women, I've been waiting 4 months for a refund, which never comes. They fob you off by telling you you're on the "urgent, urgent list" and hope you'll forget about it. I love what another woman on here said about trying to get a refund from Livia is more painful than an actual period! Most women who buy this over-priced product are desperate for some relief and Livia gives us just the opposite. Has anyone actually gotten a refund off them? How did you do it?

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Do not trust this company

By Chelsea O., Ohio, Verified Reviewer

Their money-back guarantee IS NOT GUARANTEED. They say they will get you your refund within 30 business days. I was one of the few people to get their refund back (after two months). I only think I got my refund in that time because I was so annoying. I emailed them weekly, I commented on their Facebook posts, I commented on others' Facebook posts, I made Facebook posts, and I made memes calling them out. When I started urging others to make a complaint with the FTC and BBB they finally got my refund to me, and then they blocked me from commenting and posting on their Facebook page. They also delete comments and posts that aren't positive about their product. Super shady business taking advantage of people in pain.

Save yourself the headache AND DO NOT BUY.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

NO REFUND AFTER 5 MONTHS

By Hess A., London, England, Verified Reviewer

It’s the same old story clearly! I am another victim of this awful company. I get responses back from a "Maria" and try to get palmed off every time. The last message being:

"Unfortunately, we as support agents are not aware of the reason for delay.

We are able to forward the request to our supervisor and then they are transferred to our Financial Department"

It’s been the most time-wasting and exhausting messaging of my life! They owe me and many women money! I will be taking this further.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

No refund after returning Livia 6 months ago

By Bridie S., Devon, United Kingdom, Verified Reviewer

Livia customer service confirmed that they have received my return nearly 6 months ago, but they have yet to issue my refund. I email them monthly and I am told I am in a queue. If there is a 6-month queue for all the returns then I guess that reflects how many people return their Livia, which doesn't work...need I say more.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Canceled right away, didn’t receive...still no refund

By Emily M., United Kingdom, Verified Reviewer

After over "30 business days," as they say on their website, I still have no refund. As soon as I’d bought it I canceled it due to health reasons and not wanting to antagonise it.

They said it was being forwarded to the "financial department." I never even received the product as I canceled it right away.

Still waiting on a refund...

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

FRAUD - they took my money and so many others

By Soraya B., Huntington, WV, Verified Reviewer

Pray it works for you because if it doesn’t, you can count on Livia to take your money, NOT honor their money-back guarantee, and give you the runaround for MONTHS on your refund that was supposed to have been put through 10 calls ago. Fraud. I can’t even believe the audacity of them to do this to so many people and simply delete comments on Facebook as if the issue doesn’t exist.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
