By Anouk J., The Netherlands, Verified Reviewer

Finally some relief

By Brittany M., Ontario, Canada, Verified Reviewer

Livia is a lifesaver

By Nikkii O., Oregon, Verified Reviewer

I have always experienced extreme cramps that leave me crying on the couch and nothing seemed to help. That is, until I bought the Livia. As soon as I turned it on, the cramps lessened to a hardly noticeable ache and my mood heightened. The brain fog from the pain cleared as well. My only complaint about the product is how quickly the sticky pads lose their ability to adhere.

Length of Use: 2+ years

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

Pros and Cons

The easily changeable electric stimulation.

The clip to hold it on clothes without it being seen.

Its general stealthy design.

Gel pads lose ability to adhere quickly.

Isn't the most comfortable of things to wear as a slightly larger woman.

It really works for me!

By Natalie A., Israel, Verified Reviewer

As someone who was misdiagnosed with endometriosis, I know about menstrual pain. For years, I took BC to cope with period pain, though it didn't help much. I found Livia when it first came out and was eager to try anything that could maybe help me cope with the first two days of a cycle, they are the hardest for me! I bought Livia and it was delivered relatively quickly and when I tried it for the first time, within a minute I felt the difference. Once I got used to the sensation, I forget it was there but felt significantly less cramping pain. It clipped right on top of my waistband and is quiet and wireless, so no one knows you're wearing it. It's one of those gadgets that I actually use and really works.

Length of Use: 2+ years

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

Pros and Cons

Wireless and rechargeable

Can wear all day as needed

Instant pain relief

The battery light is a little unclear

Grateful for Livia

By Vanessa V., Puerto Rico, Verified Reviewer

It helped me to continue my normal life, almost forgetting my period. I have the worst period cramps since I was 11 years old, having bed rest and strong medications to alleviate the pain. Now with Livia and sometimes Advil or Tylenol, my pain goes away.

Length of Use: 6–12 months

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

Pros and Cons

Helps me to continue my normal life

Alleviates my pain

No need for strong medication

I can’t sleep with it

I need to have it on 24 hours on my period and its battery dies in 10 hours

It works!

By Andrea L., Spain, Verified Reviewer

When I found out about this product, I didn't think it would work. I had tried every drug on the market, and nothing worked for me. I've had endometriosis for years and my periods are very painful. I vomit and get dizzy from the pain.

When I bought Livia I thought it wouldn't work for me, but it worked. The first time I tried it the pain disappeared within a few minutes. It was incredible. I didn't believe it. Since then every time I have my period, I use it and I can get on with my life.

I think it is an incredible invention and that I recommend it to all women who have pain in their periods.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

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

Pros and Cons

Takes away the pain

Easy to use

Small, discreet, drug-free

Short battery

Love it so much!

By Abbey A., Ontario, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I have really bad period cramps and always carried Midol with me. When I saw this I figured I had to try it because medication wasn't cutting it. My Livia is the best thing ever. I don't need to take medication now for the cramps and pain. This is the perfect solution that I can even wear during work! The electrical impulses are so amazing and I love it so much!

Length of Use: 2+ years

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

Pros and Cons

Small/compact

Easy to use

The different electrical impulse levels

Repurchase sticky pads

Short wires

Needs more customization

Endometriosis and Livia

By Bailey E., Oregon, Verified Reviewer

I got my Livia about two years ago as a last resort for trying to help my endometriosis pain, instead of taking medicine all of the time, and I have been very greatful. As a medical student, it allows me to continue my life day-to-day when I have flare-ups without being tied to a huge heating pack or hoping medicine works. If someone has reproductive pain affecting their lives I think it’s worth it to give Livia a shot.

Length of Use: 1–2 years

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

Pros and Cons

Mobility

Custom settings

Quick relief

Short battery

Short cord

Short life of sticky pads

Livia saved my life!

By Brittany L., Ontario, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I get the worst cramps. I'm sure just about any woman can relate. I'm active, always have been. My job is mostly a desk job, but there are days where I am running the print production or weekends where we are running a massive event at arenas, where it's 4 days round the clock. And without fail, I'll get my period just in time. When I can't be curled up I get the worst cramps. I'm sure I would just up on the couch and do nothing, lol. My Livia is so small, discrete, and gets me through those long days, it's like instant relief. I know it's essentially just a TENS machine, but I haven't seen anything that is so small, clips onto my pants, and that I can toss in my purse without wires everywhere. I'll scream it from the mountain top, JUST TRY IT! You see things like this all over Instagram and such and think it's a gimmick or scam. I assure you, it is neither of those things. I got mine about 5 years ago. I had seen it and wanted to try it so badly. My husband surprised me with it and I was SOOO happy. I love it! Did I say that already? I haven't taken medication for cramps in 5 years.

Length of Use: 2+ years

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

Pros and Cons

Small, quiet, and discrete

Gave me instant relief

Charge lasts a long time

Gel pads are a bit expensive

Wish the cord was just slightly longer, not by much

Wish the cords/pad fit into the case a bit better, they fit but you gotta fiddle with it a bit

The portability is great!

By Katyryna C., Ontario, Canada, Verified Reviewer

Very impressed! My favorite thing about the Livia is that it’s super portable! You can wear it anywhere, working out, traveling, etc. It’s discreet and easy to bring places. The battery also lasts a full day which is perfect!

Length of Use: 2+ years

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

Pros and Cons

Portability

Battery life

Easy to use

The flashing light is visible through some clothes
