There aren’t too many sensations that are worse than period cramps. And you have to get them every month. So it’s about time someone finally got the memo and introduced an idea to help fight period cramps directly at the source.
According to Bustle, Livia is a device that literally turns off period cramps.
The makers of the product claim that Livia works better than painkillers. The electromagnetic pulses of the device stop the brain’s pain signals, making sure that you pretty much won’t feel a thing when those cramps start to get a little out of hand.
“The device stimulates the nerves, making it impossible for pain to pass,” writes Prof. Bari Kaplan of Women’s Hospital – Beilinson on the product’s Indiegogo funding page. “The method Livia uses has been proven effective in several clinical studies and I strongly recommend the use of the device to relieve PMS pain at any time.”
The Indiegogo page has already raised over $127,000, which more than doubles the campaign’s goal of $50,000.
Livia is now available for pre-order at $85, which is a good price compared to what the devices will be retailing for soon ($149).
