Amazing product

By Veronique G., Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I love my Livia! It really helps with my cramps. I don’t feel them when I use my Livia. I attach it to my pants and you can’t see it when it is used. The little machine is subtle and it is rechargeable.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

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

Pros and Cons

Subtle

Small

Pretty

Rechargeable

Need to crank it up after a few minutes

Four months to receive device

By Heather B., Salem, OR, Verified Reviewer

I just received my device in the mail yesterday after ordering it in early May.

Similar to other 1-star reviews here, I have tried to reach out to customer service for updates on my order but have encountered complete silence after one initial response about 2 weeks into the ordeal that my order was going to be shipping in a couple of days.

About 2 months ago I made a claim with my credit card that I had paid for a product that was not received and have been credited back the fee Livia charged for the device subscription option.

I was surprised when the package came in the mail, as I never received any shipping notification and the order when I sign into MyLivia says "on hold".

With all that said, the device does work very well to relieve my mensural cramps and I plan to continue using it as an alternative to overdosing on OTC pain killers for a couple of days every month.

The customer service of this company is inexcusable and I would not recommend. You really might be able to just purchase a TENS device with similar results.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

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

Pros and Cons

Works to alleviate pain

Easy to use

Four months from order date to when I received the product

No response to repeated attempts to contact customer service

Was charged for subscription refills before I received the product

MyLivia is SCAMMING women

By Evalynn C., Knoxville, TN, Verified Reviewer

MyLivia is preying on women trying to find a solution. I purchased this product about 7 months ago and returned it within the first month of purchase. It did not work for me. Then, after paying for tracked shipping, I returned the product and was informed I would receive my refund within 30 days. It has been 7 months and the company has ghosted me several times. DO NOT BUY! They do not honor their 120-day money-back guarantee. Don't trust a company that can't keep its promises.

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

Refund not honored - SCAM

By Clio F., Manson's Landing, British Columbia, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I purchased the Livia machine directly from their website and it has now been 9 months since I sent the Livia machine for refund following their exact return instructions, STILL NO REFUND.

Despite my many attempts to get my money back "risk-free" as they boast on their website, I am still waiting.

I have emailed, used Facebook Messenger, and called a number of times in the past 9 months and never have received a refund.

I have managed to speak to a representative using 1-718-715-4647, although all they say is that they are working on my case. Now the phone number goes to an answering service that instructs the caller to dial a number to be connected (always a different number, every time I call) and after pressing the said number it simply hangs up.

If this isn't the definition of a SCAM, I don't know what is. DO NOT BUY LIVIA. IT DOESN'T WORK. YOU WILL NEVER GET YOUR MONEY BACK.

I have emailed:

GOT NO MONEY BACK

By Antonia S., Vienna, Austria, Verified Reviewer

I ordered MyLivia in December 2018 and got it in February 2019. Unfortunately, it didn't work for me (and that's ok, they do not promise that it will work for everyone), but what they DO PROMISE is that you can get your money back when you send them the item back. I did send it back within the 120 days where they promise the 100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE. I wrote them on a weekly basis and still got NO MONEY BACK. I am really annoyed! So don't make the same mistake and order this item! It is the worst and most dubious company I've ever been in contact with!

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

SCAM. DO NOT BUY.

By Brayden K., Big Rapids, MI, Verified Reviewer

I did not want to write this review, but the team at MyLivia did not leave me much of an alternative. I had purchased MyLivia with the expectation that I could return the product for a full refund if it was not of satisfactory quality. I was wrong. MyLivia did little more for my girlfriend than provide her with a weird tingly feeling. It did not reduce the pain she felt. I then tried to return the faulty product for a refund but failed. I emailed MyLivia every week for a month after my refund was due, yet I did not receive the funds. I was only told that it would take a little longer every time I emailed. I will gladly remove this review if this problem can be fixed, however, I am not holding my breath.

TL;DR: MyLivia is ineffective and comes with a fake money-back guarantee.

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

AVOID, SCAM!

By Leah S., New York, Verified Reviewer

Not only did the product not work for me, the company has been TERRIBLE about honoring their own refund policy. I have sent back the item and MONTHS and MONTHS later no refund. AVOID at all costs. I'm out $160 and have nothing to show for it. Very bad way to do business. Shame on Livia.

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

FRAUD - they took my money and so many others

By Soraya B., Huntington, WV, Verified Reviewer

Pray it works for you because if it doesn’t, you can count on Livia to take your money, NOT honor their money-back guarantee, and give you the runaround for MONTHS on your refund that was supposed to have been put through 10 calls ago. Fraud. I can’t even believe the audacity of them to do this to so many people and simply delete comments on Facebook as if the issue doesn’t exist.

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

Canceled right away, didn’t receive...still no refund

By Emily M., United Kingdom, Verified Reviewer

After over "30 business days," as they say on their website, I still have no refund. As soon as I’d bought it I canceled it due to health reasons and not wanting to antagonise it.

They said it was being forwarded to the "financial department." I never even received the product as I canceled it right away.

Still waiting on a refund...

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

No refund after returning Livia 6 months ago

By Bridie S., Devon, United Kingdom, Verified Reviewer

Livia customer service confirmed that they have received my return nearly 6 months ago, but they have yet to issue my refund. I email them monthly and I am told I am in a queue. If there is a 6-month queue for all the returns then I guess that reflects how many people return their Livia, which doesn't work...need I say more.

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

NO REFUND AFTER 5 MONTHS

By Hess A., London, England, Verified Reviewer

It’s the same old story clearly! I am another victim of this awful company. I get responses back from a "Maria" and try to get palmed off every time. The last message being:

"Unfortunately, we as support agents are not aware of the reason for delay.

We are able to forward the request to our supervisor and then they are transferred to our Financial Department"

It’s been the most time-wasting and exhausting messaging of my life! They owe me and many women money! I will be taking this further.

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