Livi Post-Sex Vaginal Device: Hmmmm

About this episode

The episode discusses the Livi device, its FDA clearance, and its impact on vaginal health post-intercourse.

Livi by LiviWell is an FDA-cleared, single-use, soft polyurethane foam device designed to immediately absorb post-intercourse fluids (semen) to support vaginal health. Inserted like a tampon within 15 minutes post-coitus, it works in roughly 60 seconds to restore natural pH, helping to manage odor, dripping, and discomfort. Is this evidence-based?
