Livia

Livia is a godsend! I had horrible cramps growing up, to the point where I'd be doubled over in pain. Ever since I started using Livia, I'm able to function throughout the day and sleep better at night.

Length of Use: 2+ years

I have had Livia since their Indiegogo campaign in 2017! I hate to take drugs when I have cramps so it's a great alternative, and helped me a lot.

Livia has been a lifesaver for my cramps! Even when medication doesn’t help, Livia reduces the pain within 30 minutes. I would recommend Livia to anyone who experiences period cramps.

Especially if you have had persistent and often drug-resistant period pain like I have. I find that my Livia tends to take care of mild cramps no problem, and for really bad spells, an ibuprofen in combination with the Livia does the trick in reducing my pain to manageable levels.

It's pretty comfortable to wear and they're really discreet, easily hidden under a t-shirt (or not hidden if you don't want to, they have cute case options!) so you can go about your normal day.

It's been a significant improvement to my previous (but restrictive) method of curling up in a bath so hot it is borderline scalding and crying for like 4 hours, so I'd definitely recommend trying it out if you think it might work for you!

I think my only complaint is that it's sometimes tricky when putting it on to find the sweet spot, but that might also just be my own incompetence.

Length of Use: 6–12 months

I have always had very bad period pains until I started using Livia. It has helped me with my cramps and since then I barely feel any pain in those days.

Length of Use: 1–2 years

I got my Livia as part of the original Indiegogo campaign and mine arrived in Spring of 2017. I have used it since then.

I have dysmenorrhea and ovarian cysts. The Livia gave me enough relief to be able to do some everyday things on days I normally wouldn't have made it out of bed.

The battery lasts quite a long time (around 6 hours I think) but also takes about half that time to charge so when the battery dies, I am waiting a few hours for it to get back to full charge.

The flower pads are comfortable and stick well with the gel liners, but the cords do eventually break. Because they are a proprietary design, you cannot use other TENS machine pads as the cord plugs indifferently. Very recently I have found it hard to find replacement flower pads for purchase.

I got the Livia when it was on Kickstarter and I absolutely love it! I get really painful periods and sometimes painkillers don't do it. This works great!

Before, I was stuck to bed the 1st day of my periods, unable to move due to the pain. Thanks to Livia, I can now go through my day.

It doesn't take away the pain fully for me, but it makes it easier to get through it and wait for the painkillers to kick in - if they do.

I can't give 5 stars because of an issue I have with the connection between the cable and the device. It needs to be connected in a specific angle to work and under clothes that's not always a given, so sometimes I don't have the stimulation due to my clothes pressing the cable into a wrong angle, and out of nowhere it gets back. That's a bit annoying.

Also, it is hard to purchase Livia in Germany, but other than that I hope Livia will grow and get better and better, because I think it is an important topic and it isn't okay for women to suffer during their period once a month...

Keep it up!

Length of Use: 1–2 years

Fantastic device! Helped me to stop taking painkillers. It helped me a lot at work. I have an active job and this helped me to focus on my patients rather than my pain.

The skins are cute, it's easy to use, and the box is very useful, but could be a touch bigger.

One thing to note, you can't use it while it's charging.

Love it and can't recommend it enough!

I have had it for years now! Before Livia I used to take several painkillers for my cramps, and it was life-changing for me. No more pain killers, super effective, and I always recommend to all my friends. I love Livia.
