No more pain pills!

By Simone V., Harrington Park, NJ, Verified Reviewer

My periods have never been regular. I'll skip months and then when I finally do get it - I'm usually in a lot of pain for the first few days at least. The only thing that helped before was going through bottles of Midol, which would usually take hours to kick in at first. I did a lot of research on Livia before treating myself to the device over a year ago - and I'm so glad I did! The relief is practically instantaneous when you turn it on and I love that I can wear it anywhere. Of course on bad days I can have it on high and still get twinges of pain but it's nothing compared to the pain without the device. Best purchase I've ever made!

Length of Use: 1–2 years

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

Pros and Cons

Pain relief

Portability

Eliminates the need for pain pills

Wish the charge lasted a bit longer

I love my Livia

By Rebecca C., Yokohama, Japan, Verified Reviewer

Livia was introduced to me by my dad in the Kickstarter phase. I waited a few weeks until the Kickstarter went live. I waited for 6 months or so for it to arrive. It’s been the best menstrual relief I’ve ever had. Especially as I cramp up to 2 weeks or more ahead of the event due to endometriosis. Thank you Livia.

Length of Use: 2+ years

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

Pros and Cons

It’s cute and portable

Can't live without my Livia

By Lara Z., Croatia, Verified Reviewer

Best thing ever

By Ami A., Utah, Verified Reviewer

I love how simple it is to use but it’s also effective. Definitely a lifesaver for when those cramps come in hardcore! Livia helped me sleep at night and function while I am at work. Definitely worth the money! I highly recommend it!

Game changer!

By Myranda C., Manchester, NH, Verified Reviewer

I was so skeptical of this miracle device but I took a leap of faith! I was so sick of being bedridden and throwing up from pain every month I just wanted my life back. I didn't want to call out of work every month! Livia was able to do that for me, I can function completely, it is a literal off switch for period cramps!

Less meds

By Brittany W., Pendleton, OR, Verified Reviewer

I used to have to take a lot of ibuprofen to be able to function on my period. I always worried about that because it can be hard on your stomach. I was so happy to find Livia when I started looking for alternatives - it helps reduce my cramps and makes it easier to go about my business.

Length of Use: 2+ years

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

Pros and Cons

The cord from the device to the pads is very short

The distance between the two pads can be too small

No more sleepless nights

By Ruta C., Oslo, Norway, Verified Reviewer

Livia reduces my period pain noticeably. I usually experience unbearable pain and if painkillers fail to work I have to go to the hospital (I have even been taken there with an ambulance). In the midst of pain, I cannot fall asleep. While using Livia I can for sure reduce how many painkillers I need to drink and sometimes I can even go without them at all. I haven’t had sleepless nights since using it! It’s wonderful! Livia is a lifesaver to my health!

Length of Use: 2+ years

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

Pros and Cons

Pain decrease

Comfortable

Cute

Love Livia

By Jessica L., Michigan, Verified Reviewer

I was skeptical of Livia when I first ordered, but had tried everything else and was desperate for relief. I couldn't believe how something so simple and easy was so effective.

It worked the first time I tried it and was the first relief I'd gotten in a long time. I love my Livia. Would definitely recommend.
