Safety is our #1 priority at LiviWell. Every patient is important and that is why the LiviWell team opted to conduct several clinical studies as well as pursue an FDA review and clearance for Livi.

Livi is has been studied extensively in several clinical trials. Livi is also undergoing the careful evaluation of the FDA review process for class II medical devices. The review process requires extensive safety studies that validate whether the product is safe for human use. As compared to many consumer products which are NOT reviewed by the FDA, Livi is a carefully evaluated, tested and manufactured product.

Livi works by rapidly absorbing semen that has been deposited in the vaginal canal after sex. Livi is inserted into the vagina similar to a tampon, and deployed by pushing the plunger. The patent-pending Livi insert will expand into the vaginal fornices (pockets) and rapidly absorb semen.

Livi should be used immediate after sex. It is preferrable to insert within minutes after intercourse for maximum effect.

There is no limit on the frequency of use of Livi. You can use Livi multiple times each day if you choose to.

Livi has been shown in clinical studies to have a significant absorbent effect within 60 seconds of insertion. Initial clinical studies have shown that there may be incremental benefit by allowing Livi to remain for longer than 60 seconds. Livi should not be left inside the vagina beyond 1 hour of insertion.

Tampons are not effective at absorbing semen. They are made of cotton or rayon and sit in the lower third of the vaginal canal and are designed to absorb menstrual fluid.

If you have dripping of fluid, discharge, odor, or itching after sex, you may have a vaginal infection such as bacterial vaginosis or yeast. Being sexually active without condoms puts you at risk of developing some of these infections. Livi is currently being studied in clinical trials to reduce the symptoms of common infections such as bacterial vaginosis (BV).

The Science

The vaginal microbiome is the complex ecosystem of microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi, that live inside the vagina. Everyone’s vaginal microbiome is unique, but research suggests that a “healthy” microbiome is one dominated by Lactobacillus. Lactobacilli protect you from infections by producing lactic acid and keeping your vaginal pH acidic, like it should be.

Understanding and maintaining a healthy vaginal microbiome is an important part of overall health and wellness. Monitoring your vaginal pH is an important practice given that changes in your vaginal pH are an indication of a potential vaginal infection.   

The pH scale measures the acidity or alkalinity of the human body. Most healthy women will have a vaginal pH  between 3.8 and 4.5. This means that the environment is moderately acidic, and it’s important for the bacteria in your vaginal microbiome. The acidity is determined by lactic acid-producing bacteria called Lactobacillus, the “good” bacteria that help prevent unwanted infections.

Semen has a high pH, which can raise the risk of vaginal infections. Unprotected sex can disrupt your natural pH balance and create a hospitable environment for “bad” bacteria or other pathogens to thrive. Maintaining a normal and healthy vaginal pH as important part of your overall vaginal care and wellness.

There are several common physical signs that your vaginal pH is off. Any individual or combination of the follow symptoms could indicate an imbalance in your vaginal pH:

Bad odor: While it’s normal for your vagina and discharge to have a mild odor, any sudden or noticeable changes in vaginal odor could indicate a pH imbalance. Foul, rotten, or fishy-smelling discharge can be a symptom of bacterial vaginosis (BV) or a sexually transmitted infection like trichomoniasis.
 
Unusual vaginal discharge: Any changes in the color, consistency, smell, and quantity of vaginal discharge could mean your vaginal pH is off. Grey, watery discharge that has a fishy smell could be a sign of BV or trichomoniasis, while white, thick, and clumpy discharge could be a sign of a yeast infection or chlamydia. See your healthcare provider if you’re experiencing unusual vaginal discharge.
 
Itching or discomfort: If you’re feeling itchy, irritated, or red around the vagina and vulva, it might be a sign of a pH imbalance. This could be due to a vaginal yeast infection or chlamydia. It’s best to see your healthcare provider if you experience symptoms like these.
 
Burning sensation: Feeling a burning sensation when you pee or have sex could mean your pH level is off. This discomfort could be due to a yeast infection or a sexually transmitted infection such as chlamydia or gonorrhea.

The vagina does have a natural cleansing mechanism, which is why doctors don’t recommend douching or soaps inside the vagina. However, if you’re having sex without a condom, the residual semen inside the vaginal canal promotes overgrowth of “bad” bacteria. Livi helps to speed up the self-cleaning process after sex.
All vaginas have an odor—even healthy ones. However, a strong unpleasant odor may indicate that you have a vaginal infection. When semen dwells inside the vaginal canal for too long, it can cause the release of “amines,” which are responsible for fishy vaginal odor.
Livi is being studied as a tool to reduce vaginal odor as well as other bothersome symptoms associated with vaginal infections. In an initial clinical study, participants noted a significant reduction of vaginal odor after using Livi.
If you have dripping of fluid, discharge, odor, or itching after sex, you may have a vaginal infection such as bacterial vaginosis or yeast. Being sexually active without using condoms puts you at risk of developing some of these infections. Livi is currently being studied in clinical trials to reduce the symptoms of common infections such as bacterial vaginosis (BV).
Tampons are not effective at absorbing semen, which has a higher viscosity (thickness) than a menstrual fluid. Additionally, tampons are made of cotton or rayon and sit in the lower third of the vaginal canal and are designed to exclusively absorb menstrual fluid.
Livi is made from a medical-grade polyurethane foam. Livi’s uniquely patented design allows it to expand into the vaginal fornices (the hard-to-reach regions), increase contact with the vaginal mucosa and access the hard to reach areas where semen and sexual fluids remain.
