Livia
instant, drug-free relief from menstrual cramps
Livia provides instant, drug-free relief from menstrual cramps. In the touch of a button, the wearable device stimulates nerves to block pain. No pills, no side effects, no interruptions to your day. How? Simply put – science. The technology behind Livia is based on the Gate Control Theory, which states that non-painful signals close the gate to painful signals – blocking the sensation of pain before it’s even felt. In other words, Livia sends stimulating pulses from the surface of the skin to the nerve strands, preventing pain signals from reaching the brain. Even better, its compact and comfortable design allows for instant relief that moves with you. Take that, cramps!
