Livia
Period pain. Turned down.
Livia delivers mild, high-frequency pulses through the skin that keep the nerves busy and reduce the pain signals travelling to the brain. The 36 g unit connects by a lead to two flower-shaped pads with replaceable gel pads and is small enough to wear discreetly under a loose top. It runs on a rechargeable lithium-ion battery charged by micro-USB. Its FDA clearance covers temporary relief of menstrual cramps when used with over-the-counter pain medication, as well as chronic and muscular pain.
Key specifications
Why the Livia
Cleared for cramps
FDA clearance K183110 covers temporary relief of pain associated with dysmenorrhoea (menstrual cramps) when used with over-the-counter pain medication.
Tested against sham
In a randomised, double-blind, crossover study of 65 women at four sites, Livia lowered pain scores by 28.1 VAS points versus 17.6 for a sham device (p<0.0001).
Wear it and carry on
At 36 g and 55 mm square, the unit sits discreetly under clothing, so users can keep to their day while it works.
Everything to start

Does it replace pain medication?
Its FDA-cleared indication is relief of menstrual cramps when used with over-the-counter pain medication. In the maker's study most participants also took pain relief tablets; the maker reports that some users rely on Livia alone.
Who should not use it?
People with a heart pacemaker. The pads should not be placed over open wounds, cancerous lesions or infected or inflamed skin, and the maker does not recommend Livia during fertility treatment. It is intended for adults.
How quickly does it work?
The maker says most users feel relief within seconds to a few minutes of switching on, after adjusting the intensity to a comfortable level.
What consumables does it need?
Gel pads. The kit includes a 3-month supply; further gel pads are quoted separately. The 2-year warranty covers the device, not the accessories.
