I honestly don't know how I made it through my period before getting Livia. My 1st-day cramps sometimes left me unable to move and do anything including going to class or doing day-to-day things. Sometimes even woke me up the middle of the night leaving me curled up in my bathroom. While I don't use it overnight it definitely helps during the day or when I put it on if I get woken up in pain. I occasionally also have to take pain meds but for the most part all I need is my Livia.
Pros and Cons:
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
