My friend gave me Livia as a gift, I was skeptical but I’m willing to try anything. My cramps are so severe I usually can’t get out of bed for two days (I have endometriosis). It took me a few hours to get used to the "shocking" sensation, but I was pleased when the shocking turned into numbing my cramps. Although I was still in pain, I was able to get out of bed and be productive. I actually purchased a second one for my back and use them both during my most painful days.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
