Problem
Millions of women experience post-sex vaginal infections, odor, and dripping due to vaginal pH imbalance caused by semen. Current recommendations to prevent these issues include abstaining from sex or using condoms, which are not always desirable or practical solutions. There are currently no FDA-approved products specifically designed to address this issue.
Solution
Livi is a vaginal insert designed to absorb semen after intercourse, helping to maintain a healthy vaginal pH and microbiome. The insert, made from medical-grade polyurethane foam, is inserted vaginally via an applicator and expands to increase contact with the vaginal mucosa, absorbing semen and other sexual fluids in under 60 seconds. By removing semen, Livi aims to reduce the risk of vaginal odor, discharge, irritation, and infections like bacterial vaginosis, offering a clinically backed solution to protect vaginal health and restore a healthy sex life. Livi is currently undergoing FDA review and is being studied in clinical trials to validate its effectiveness in reducing symptoms of common vaginal infections.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes sexually active women who do not routinely use condoms and experience post-sex vaginal issues such as dripping, discharge, odor, irritation, or recurrent vaginitis.
