Besides the warm breezes, the cooling ocean dips, and the scent of frangipani and BBQ in the air, summer means getting our legs out.

We’re all grown ups, so we know the basics about how to get our pins in flash-worthy condition – gentle exfoliation, scrupulous hair removal, lashings of moisturiser, regular exercise, and sometimes a wash of fake tan usually do the trick.

Yet there are times that our legs don’t feel so great on the inside.”

Like when you’ve had a marathon session in a pair of your favourite killer heels, when you’ve been on your feet all day at work, after a monster muscle moving workout, and especially in the later stages of pregnancy.

It’s times like those when we’re more likely to suffer from aching calves, swollen ankles, and leg cramps. And a few of these – including having a particularly sedentary lifestyle – can also lead to unsightly and painful spider and varicose veins.

I’ve ticked the boxes for all of the above: my calves are still aching from wearing my favourite heels to a cocktail party on the weekend and yesterday’s workout then turned them to jelly. I constantly spend hours upon hours sitting at my desk writing, so I can end up with pins and needles in my legs and c-c-c-cold feet. And back when I was pregnant, my ankles became quite swollen – especially in the second and third trimester when it was also summertime.

My (dream) summer office

So far I’m yet to develop any issues with my veins, but thinking back to how my Grandma’s legs used to look this could be a looming problem. Apparently about 15% of women will develop these after childbearing years and it’s often hereditary.

And when treatment of spider or varicose veins ranges from laser, to actual surgery, wearing compression stockings or loads and loads of fake tan, it’s worth trying out something that might prevent these, no?

The Revitive LV Circulation Booster arrived on my doorstep the other day to try, and given that this new gadget claims to help relieve tired and aching legs, improve circulation and swelling, help prevent the risk of spider and varicose veins and improve tone and definition, my legs couldn’t wait to try it.

Revitive LV

What does it do?

The Revitive LV uses clinically-tested electrical muscle stimulation to activate the muscles in feet and lower legs and helps to pump blood back up to your heart. Because when you sit or stand for a long time these muscles are inactive, limiting blood flow and can lead to soreness and swelling.

How does it feel?

When I tried it, it felt like pins and needles and with a strange fluttering and pulsing sensation around my ankles and up my legs. It’s not uncomfortable, but like most beauty treatments, it’s best to distract yourself by doing something else while you’re at it. Because it’s defiantly a weird sensation!

What are the results?

30 minutes with my feet resting on this baby (while surfing Facebook and catching up with buddies online) and my calves felt revived and re-energised after such a hard week in those killer heels. And because it claims to tone calves and prevent the risk of spider veins with prolonged use (more than 30 days) I’ll be tucking mine under my desk and using daily as a lazy girls exercise trick and to hopefully stop me getting Grandma’s legs – bless her heart.

Pick one up here for $229.
