I love Livia

Worth it

By Katie K., Cranbrook, British Columbia, Canada, Verified Reviewer

Livia changed my life. I get really terrible cramping and it made it so hard to function and look after my kids on those days. When I started looking for a solution, I found a Livia. I was a little skeptical, but decided to try it. I have no regrets. Livia helps so much! When I'm wearing the unit, it's like I can feel when I'm cramping, but the pain is significantly decreased. I highly recommend.

My only complaints are that my skin reacts a bit to the sticky gel pads, and customer service takes about a week to respond.

Length of Use: 6–12 months

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

Pros and Cons

Significantly reduces pain

Unit is small and clips well to clothing

Fun colors

The sticky gel pads irritate my skin

Customer service is really slow

Shipping is also really, really slow

100% for the Livia, 0% for the customer service

By Coralie R., Montréal, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I have no words to express how Livia saved me from my terrible period pain. I would faint every month because of the pain, and this machine made it all disappear.

On the other hand, every time I had a problem with Livia, I had terrible troubles with customer service. When I was lucky enough to get an answer (even then, most of the time I would receive a "we will look into it" and no news for months), the staff was incredibly unrespectful and would lie to me several times.

Length of Use: 6–12 months

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

Pros and Cons

No more pain

Long battery life span

Monthly subscription

Customer service was always rude and lying, never answering or giving news

After a day of using the Livia (with a break every 1-2 jours as recommended) my belly gets super itchy

Hard to join and staff doesn't care about you

It takes them years to send the items, I received my Livia after 3 months of wait

Using it for years

By Ailis M., North Creek, NY, Verified Reviewer

I started using this product the moment they shipped it out. I was skeptical that anything besides a heating pad, meds, and crawling out of my skin, could help. I’m so glad to say it works! I have severe cramps that last three days and I used to have to call off of work. Now I can have it on me and no one knows and I can carry on and get my work done.

I’m super sensitive so the higher intensity range tingles so much it distracts me and makes me feel so weird. But! The lower range works well and I don’t feel that weird when I have it on that level. It does work, which is amazing!

Length of Use: 1–2 years

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

Pros and Cons

Discrete

It works

Customer service is great

High intensity range feels weird

The best treatment for cramps

By Alyssa D., Sandpoint, ID, Verified Reviewer

Livia is amazing! It takes away the cramping sensation immediately. I also feel nauseated and dizzy with cramps and those symptoms immediately fade. It is a medication-free treatment for period pain. Anyone with a uterus and cramps should own one, it will give you back days of your life!

Length of Use: 2+ years

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

Pros and Cons

It is effective

It is medication-free

It is discreet

It treats more than just pain

It has many levels of intensity to get the exact relief you need

The battery life doesn't last all night

The cable sticks out a little and makes it a bit hard to hide under tight clothes

This product saved me

By Stephanie G., New York, NY, Verified Reviewer

I first found Livia through their Kickstarter campaign, and have been in love with this product ever since. I suffer from not only extremely painful periods, but also pain every month when I get ovarian cysts. Livia is small enough to wear while at work, traveling, or just at home. The website experience leaves something to be desired, but the product is well worth it.

Length of Use: 2+ years

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

Pros and Cons

Clip so you can be mobile

Carrying case is small and easy to clean

Cute and small for working or traveling

Charging port is outdated

Website is difficult to navigate

Wire needs to be more durable

Best for painful nights

By Jackie H., Reno, NV, Verified Reviewer

I purchased my Livia when it was a Kickstarter campaign. It took a long time to get it for that reason. I find that it helps me the most at nighttime when I’m having painful cramps and can’t relax for sleep. I use it both for lower belly cramping and for the low back cramping I get with periods.

Length of Use: 2+ years

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

Pros and Cons

How compact it is

It is easy to use and not complicated

Pain relief

Period pain free!

By Jenniree A., Hallandale Beach, FL, Verified Reviewer

I used to have horrible period pain before I purchased Livia, and now I can proudly say that every period since 2 years ago has been great because I have ZERO pain!

Now I can exercise, go to work, or even go dancing with my friends without any worries!

Length of Use: 1–2 years

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

Pros and Cons

Easy to carry around

Battery life

Easy to use
