"This was a horrible experience. I had a pretty bad YI and was itching and burning. Thought I'd go ahead and get the one dose to knock it out. I thought I was itching and burning before using this medication. After I put it in, I applied some of the vaginal cream and it felt like Lava was burning my crotch. I quickly grabbed the enclosed wipes and washed it off, thank goodness for those little blessings. I think someone on the marketing team had a sense of humor. Those little gems were the only thing in the $20 box worth anything at all. I ended up laying down for an hour waiting to see what would happen. As time passed, the burning and pain progressed where I was about in tears, so went and sat in the bath to rinse it out. So, I'm now a little over 2 hours out from my application and it's throbbing and still burning a little. Please don't subject yourself to this stuff. It's literally the worst thing I've ever purchased."

"Felt symptoms of YI coming on (irritation, swelling and slight discharge) woke up the very next day with a full fledge YI. Couldn’t get ahold of my dr right away so I did something VERY desperate and purchased monistat 1. This little ball of fire fury is the worst most lethal thing I think I have ever come across in my life. I went from having a YI to having the fiery depths lava bubbling inside of my lady bits. It looks like I gave birth again and hurts to walk/sit. Did my best to remove it all after the burning intensified but I’m still suffering after a whole 24 hours. Not worth the stress, trouble, money and it does absolutely nothing but make things 1000x worse. Just call your gyno and ask for diflucan or another prescription option because OTC YI treatment is NOT the way to go."

"I bought this late last night and boy what a fiasco that was. First yeast infection since I was 16. Back then the only option was a 7 day treatment plan. Decided to speed things up a bit and go with the 1 day. This was around 9pm. My YI was pretty difficult to deal with, very itchy. So I inserted the Ovule pretty immediately once I had returned and used the itch cream. I went to bed and found this page. I about had a panic attack reading some of these reviews. But, I fell asleep and just woke up 8 hours later. I did not have any burning or itching or any of the things others have described. Just used the bathroom and I feel loads better. I would say take the reviews with a grain of salt, some people have a very low pain tolerance or a bad reaction. I didnt' have any pain at all with this!"

"if you can handle your lady biscuit to be on fire, this is right for you!! Their "mild burning" as a side effect is not mild. It feels like I wiped with a napkin full of hot sauce. Oh my gosh, its TERRIBLE! I got this to treat my yeast infection, hoping to avoid oral capsules. Applying: uncomfortable, but manageable. The cream they include helped at first. An hour in: Eh, it was sorta burning but I was still able to manage. I figured, "hey, this must be the mild burning they warned about" Four hours in, and it feels like I used Icy Hot on my vagina! It's burning, tingling, & I can literally feel my heartbeat in my vagina!! Don't even get me started on peeing - it feels like I'm peeing ghost pepper! Tried showering, then tried to rinse the medication off. Literally to the point of possibly going to the emergency room."

"OMG...This Girl Is On Fire!!! My lady bits feel like a raging fire pit is brewing down there. Who invented this??? While I appreciate the less mess and 1 day option this provides. I can say I may never be able to use my vagina again. I like many of you was hoping for the short term wonder and haven't used this product before. When there is a next time iI will be seeing any doctor to get me the pill - I don't care if they want to check it all out before the prescribe. I have a higher tolerance for pain and currently my bits are being iced and my eyes are filled with tears. In for a long night...we shall wait and see if it is worth it. Hopefully this pain is the yeast infection burning a slow fiery death. Good luck ladies and may the odds be in your favor!"

"I have had a mild yeast infection for about a week, because I was hoping it would just go away. It didn't, so I decided to buy some monistat-1. I've heard the bad reviews, but some say monistat 1 is supposed to be better. I luckily decided to try the itch cream first to see if I would have a reaction, and BOY did I! After like 40 seconds it felt like my vulva was on FIRE. It is so itchy!!! So I wiped it off with wet wipes, but the burning remains, even though I wiped it off. About to take a cold shower. I'm SO glad I didn't put this actual treatnebt in my vagina, because I wouldn't be able to bear this insatiable burning/itching on my vulva AND inside my vag. Don't be like me, just go to the doctor and get a prescription!!!"

"Not my first YI rodeo. First time using the ovule.. Intense burning.. Where is the sandpaper when you need it! I was on fire before, but OMG! I sucked it up, the next day was better. Today day 3 very minor symptoms. I guess if you want to only use a one day cure there will be more medication and it seems like more burning. So if you can't handle it use the 3 or 7 day treatment."

"This product is pure torture! I bought Monistat 1 over the counter for a very minor YI. I had no idea the agony that was ahead of me. I was preparing dinner for a dinner party and holy hell fire I suddenly was taken out by the fire in my vagina. I simply could not deal with myself. Not a convenient experience to say the least. These reviews gave me peace of mind thought it has been about twenty minutes and I am feeling some relief. I do not recommend."

"As a woman it is bound to happen! I have had YI before so I am very well aware of the early symptoms. I went to my local drug store and purchased the Monistat 1 Ovule package because I have tried a different version before and unfortunately experienced the awful pain as read in other Womens reviews. I figured I'd give this version a go because Monistat is the most common recommended OTC YI medication. I inserted the ovule about 2 hours ago and have experienced no discomfort whatsoever. I even applied the cream right away to help with any itching or burning that may occur instantly after application. I have not experienced any discomfort in the last two hours, only relief! Will purchase again/ and recommend."

"So I've had a yeast infection maybe 3 or 4 times. 2/4 went away by themselves. The first time I used Monistat 7 and felt fine. Today i bought Monistat 1 with the egg and as in writing this in bed at 2:40 am, all I can think about is how much itchier it is!!!!!! OMG. I just wanna scratch. It's so uncomfortable and I cannot fall asleep. When I used the 7day it worked. This one better work."

"I took this medication a week ago and am still suffering the side effects. I blistered and my vagina got so swollen I can hardly urinate. I am wondering when this is going to end as it has been 7 days."

"Yes it burns, but that's how you know it's working! This is my third time using this particular one and I recommend it over the Monistat 3 or 7. It's only one night of burning and maybe a little bit the next morning. But it works! And for $20, it's a lot less expensive than paying for a doctors visit."

"DO NOT USE EVER !! This monistat 1 burns your vagina, your skin, it burns everything down there. Please believe these comments they are true. I will never use this product ever again, I pray that I never have a YI for a while. If I do I will definitely try something else or a home remedy!!!!! Stay away from this product ladies it’s not worth the burning and the pain after 12 hours."

"I wish I would have seen this before inserting this thing in me. The pain is unbearable and I literally had to run to the shower to wash my vagina area. I’m still in pain and it has been over 2 hours now. It hurts and should not be on the market I’m sorry but it shouldn’t."

"Grabbed Monistat 1 trying to go the quicker and lazy route and wish now I had seen these reviews beforehand. I genuinely thought something was wrong with me prior to reading these. My outer areas itch me SO badly (worse than they did prior to monistat) that I want to get rid off because surely that pain would be less than the incessant burning itching. Will never ever use again!! You’ve been warned :|"

"I had sign of a yeast infection for a little over a week. I live in a big city so getting in to the GYN takes awhile. My bright idea was I’d try Monistat. FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY! Sweet Mary and baby Jospeh!!! I wish I would have read the reviews before I took the medication (I’m an idiot , I know). When they say “slight itching” someone liiiiiied! It was just a little lie, this stuff itches like that time you had chicken pox and your mom taped oven mits to your hands. I have an ice pack between my legs and praying for sleep. I’ll not be using this again. I’d rather wait six months for my GYN to open up. Don’t know if it works as it’s only been four hours but the itch is so bad !!!!!"

"HELP ME!!! This is quite possibly the worst pain I’ve ever felt in my life. I suffer from chronic UTIs and have a pretty high pain tolerance when it comes to my vag. At least I thought... I bought the 1 day cream and before I even finished the whole tube my entire vagina was on fire. It’s taken everything in me not to take myself to the ER. It’s currently 2 am and I can’t sleep due to the pain... never again."

"DO. NOT. BUY. The first hour was fine. The second. OH. MY. VAGINA. It itches and burns like you can’t even imagine. Maybe go with the Monistat 3. Definitely not the 1. Really regretting this as I am miserable at 2:00am and I’ve taken Benadryl and melatonin just to try and sleep this off..."

"Yo ladies, I’m praying you read these before you used this product that is straight out of a volcano but I’m assuming you were like me and probably didn’t think to do so....I’ve used Monistat 3 before so I thought Monistat 1 wouldn’t be any different. I WAS WRONG. Just as the other comments say, the first hour I was totally fine. Then out of nowhere it was like Satan himself attacked my V with the fires of Hell. I’m in so much pain I could literally cry. The original discomfort of the YI was much less painful than this.. PLEASE TAKE THIS OFF THE SHELVES!!!!!"

"I'll just discuss the repercussions of this OTC medicine. Without doing any research I purchased Monistat 1 ovule & I regret making such a big mistake. Twenty four hours after using, I had severe swelling, soreness, itching and irritation of the entire vulva. Indescribable pain when I urinated bc my skin had ruptured in certain areas. I thought that I just had a resistant yeast infection, but after seeing my OB/GYN I came to the realization I had an allergic reaction. She thought I had herpes based on my symptoms & an examination, but it's not possible bc I'm married and my husband and I have been faithful. I was basically bed ridden for three days, in debilitating pain. It's been almost a week now and my "lady business" is still healing."

"I had a vaginal yeast infection for about 3 months now. I tried everything, apple cider vinegar (made it worst), yogurt helps but doesn’t get rid of it, aloe vera you name it. I started using antibiotics because I thought I had an UTI or another type of infection. Unfortunately this made it 1000x worst. I bought Monistat 1 day ovule with the cream and the burning itching sensation is finally gone. When you use the suppository please wash your hands and vaginal area first. If you feel some itch it is ok but try not touch your area instead put cold water and wait for the medication to work. I’m pretty sure you’re supposed to wait at least 24 hours for you to finally feel much better. I give this Monistat a 10 rate"

"I of all people have the highest tolerance to pain. I’ve had a YI before and used Monistat 3 day cream. Fine Well I thought hey .. a few years later I have one again- quick pace it and use Monistat 1. NOOOOOOOOO!! Burns intense. I attempted to handle it. Nope. Attempted to remove the most (someone mentioned tampons) And now I have an ice pack between there. Lord I’m hoping it’ll be better by tomorrow - this is the worst. I can easily laugh getting a tattoo, apparently injecting this stuff up your crotch is worse. Smh"

"Let me start off by saying I NEVER write reviews. But I’m a total hypocrite because I rely on them before I decide to purchase a product. After figuring out I had a yeast infection and figuring out Monistat was obviously the way to go, I didn’t hesitate when I saw the 1 day experience. After reading through many of the posts I was hesitant to use the product and decided to sleep on it. I decided today that I would bear the brunt of the burning that everyone is talking about if it meant quick relief. I assumed that I would be like the majority and would suffer the negative side effects. I inserted the product around 5:30PM and I am through the two hour window that most people claim is when the extreme burning starts. I’ve been on the couch and the only thing I’ve noticed is the itching, which I’ve been working with so nothing new. You might be surprised to find, like me, you won’t suffer negatively at all!"

"I always use monistat 1 day ovule just because it's one and done for me no 3 day and 7 day business and never the creams yuck! This product is good. It does work unfortunately you just have to deal with itching and burning the first couple of days and then it usually winds down as the infection starts to clear. I waited a week before I started treatment and it seems the longer you wait the worse the side effects but it is effective..so hang in there try to power through because relief will be there waiting in the end"
