This Livia device is a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation device ie. She tried various settings and positioning of the pads, all to no avail. According to her it made absolutely no difference whatsoever to her pain. She was apparently swayed by the "off switch for period pain" marketing slogan. I bought one of these elsewhere for my partner. I would recommend for those that have mild period pain and want to decrease it, but for those with moderate to severe, this just isn’t going to cut it. After you take a couple painkillers, for me the pain is gone so this this still seems to be the best method. If you have the willpower to do so, this will help a little. For the two periods I’ve had since having this I haven’t used painkillers, BUT I’ve still had pain (slightly milder) so would I personally recommend? If you want to flush your body of relying on painkillers.yes. I have moderate period pain, so usually one day of painkillers then I’m ok, so this product can work for that. It’s very similar to those electrical ‘abs making’ devices and at the higher settings it can be like muscle spasms, so would recommend a very low setting first to get used to it. So to put it bluntly, it’s very weird on first usage. So.i must start this review by saying if you are considering buying this product DO NOT buy from livia’s Website, buy from amazon instead! I am currently undergoing a 3 months ordeal from trying to get my money back from cancelling that order and going with amazons faster delivery instead, and still haven’t to this day. I guess like with everything, the next period is going to be more straightforward! Recommended. Do make sure you tried all the settings and gave yourself time to get used to them. Generally it takes some time of getting used to, especially the settings and the zap when you get to stronger settings, but it’s better than pills. I used it for the full 12 hours and it worked, but if your pain lasts for longer, you’d have to wait for it to charge again. So you basically end up feeling nothing, which is the objective! I also used it in the night and managed to fall asleep successfully. The best thing is that after the initial strong awareness of the vibration, you forget about it as you go about your day. even though you’re aware of the pain being there sometimes, that’s when you adjust your settings. You feel the vibration but not the pain, as the brain can’t feel both. It takes a bit of time to figure out how it actually works but you need strong vibrations (feels like a moving hedgehog on your tummy) to make it work. Now I have acid reflux so can’t take them any more, and decided to try Livia. I was a bit skeptical at first as I’ve struggled with my period for 13 years now and had to take ibuprofen and other pills to get through the first day.
