60% pain relief

By Kristin C., Miami Beach, FL, Verified Reviewer

My friend gave me Livia as a gift, I was skeptical but I’m willing to try anything. My cramps are so severe I usually can’t get out of bed for two days (I have endometriosis). It took me a few hours to get used to the "shocking" sensation, but I was pleased when the shocking turned into numbing my cramps. Although I was still in pain, I was able to get out of bed and be productive. I actually purchased a second one for my back and use them both during my most painful days.

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

Obsessed with this little device

By Ashley K., Gilbert, AZ, Verified Reviewer

Purchasing my Livia device was a Hail Mary. I had tried EVERYTHING to feel relief during my period and nothing seemed to do the trick, so when I came across this little device, I said why not. Seriously so thankful I did. I can finally get up out of bed and function during my time of the month!

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

It really works!

By Laura G., Germany, Verified Reviewer

I was very skeptical at first, but after trying it out, it really does work! I have very brutal period pain and nothing ever seemed to work but then I tried out Livia and it really took away all the pain. I would 100% recommend! It's really worth your money and with the two-year warranty/money back if you're unhappy, there is really a low-risk you'd have to take!

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

Amazing product

By Valentina F., Italy, Verified Reviewer

I was kind of skeptical at first, but I decided to try because I’m tired of all the pills and it actually works! When I’m home I put on Livia and I don’t need painkillers, I only take them to work out or to work, but next time I’ll try with Livia also in these situations! Totally recommended.

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

Great product, highly recommended!

By Marthe S., Oslo, Norway, Verified Reviewer

I decided to try Livia after an advertisement my husband saw on Facebook.

After struggling many years with menstrual pain and strong painkillers as the only effective medication, I wanted to try this as an alternative to medicine.

I was a bit insecure in the beginning whether my pain was too strong to be treated with pulses, but to my surprise, Livia was super efficient.

It took about 1-2 hours after starting the device until I fully felt the effects of the pulses and I could go on with my daily tasks.

It is absolutely worth the money and a really good alternative for those who wants to try treatment without medication.

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

My Livia is really a big help

By Lara K., Remagen, Germany, Verified Reviewer

I got my Livia about four months ago and so far I love it. I had to suffer from heavy pain while my period and with my Livia, I'm finally able to say goodbye to painkillers while my period. In the beginning, I felt a bit irritated about the electric signals I felt in my belly, but you get used to them very quickly. I think the greatest thing about Livia is its size, I even sleep with it on sometimes and because it's so small it doesn't disturb me at night.

The gel pads are a good thing, too, but quite expensive, especially when you need to pay the shipping to Germany, that's why I only give four stars to Livia. But in my opinion you don't need to change them every month, I use them for two or three months until I change them and this works well for me.

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

Livia and endometriosis pain

By Hannah Y., Frisco, TX, Verified Reviewer

I have stage II endometriosis and interstitial cystitis and I find that the Livia helps greatly with the pain caused by both conditions. I typically use it on the third power setting and I keep it on for 2-3 hours. My cramps are usually 4-6 when I'm not on my period and I find the Livia on its own takes my pain down to a 2-3. It’s amazing. Even on my period, my vicious, painful period, the Livia takes the pain down significantly. I do typically use it paired with my pain meds (Tylenol, Advil, or Mobic) just to completely relieve my pain. I find that the sensation of the Livia is sort of fun; it’s not painful at all. It does take some getting used to, but it’s a fantastic device. I recommend it to all of my fellow endo-sisters!

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

Amazing product!

By Rebekah D., London, United Kingdom, Verified Reviewer

I have suffered with period pains forever and used to constantly take painkillers. I decided I wanted to have no painkillers in my system but still needed some pain relief for my cramps. My Livia is the best little invention. Well worth the price, completely irradicated my pains.

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

Con artists, avoid at all costs!

By Elivia T., London, England, Verified Reviewer

Vile, disgusting company. Scam artists, won't refund my money after more than three months. Dismissive, horrible customer service that pretends they are dealing with your refund but oh so wrong. I rejected Livia at customs due to the ridiculous customs fees that were not clearly stated. This company should be shut down. Lucky I'm getting a refund for fraud from Amex.

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

Can’t live without Livia

By Aneesha G., United Kingdom, Verified Reviewer

I have a history of very severe endometriosis pains which radiate from my pelvis to my back, and at times my sciatic nerve, so I wanted to find a solution that would help me live a normal life. I purchased a Livia hoping that it would ease some of my pain. Now I cannot live without it on my flare days, the pain is dramatically reduced and sometimes even goes completely when using my Livia machine. It’s so compact and easy to use that I can wear it under work clothes without anyone knowing, it’s easy to charge, lasts a long time, and has given me my freedom back!

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

No more pain, no more complain

By Rita A., Lisbon, Portugal, Verified Reviewer

Before Livia, I had severe pain. I took a lot of pills to get through it. But now, I have Livia, and it's life-changing. No more pain, no more pills. No more complaints. Easy to wear, easy to use. My best friend.

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