For Vaginal Yeast Infection "So I went and got this product because I had some mild itching and I’ve had a YI before. Any other time I’ve used Monistat 3. I went to Walmart they only had monistat 1. I didn’t have any burning sensation prior to inserting the “pill”. Now my vagina is on fire omg it stings soo bad when I urinate. I’ve never had issues with monistat but I feel like the #1 formula may be too strong. So please be mindful that it does cause a burning sensation that is very uncomfortable. I honestly was confused and didn’t know what was going on because I only had mild itching prior to using the product no burning. I took it as a precautionary solution to the onset of a YI based off of one minor symptom. Now I’m regretting life."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I had this when I was younger for a yeast infection. And I remember it was working fine then. I don’t know if they’ve changed the formula or what, but about an hour of it in, it started leaking and it itched worse than I’ve ever experienced. YI’s have NOTHING on this. It’s so unbearable, I’ve sent my boyfriend out to get me something to flush it out with. I can’t sleep and my lady bits hurt from the constant wiping I’m doing to relieve the itch. DO NOT waste $20 on this!!!!!!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "So I took the monistat 1 a day for my severe yeast infection. I inserted it far up and put extra on the outside. Went straight to bed but woke up 3 hours later with itching and burning worst than the yeast infection! "

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I do understand that there will be side effects, but never expected that. This medicine is horrible and burn like crazy. I used the itch relief and it made it worse. I end up here because I wanted to check if the burning was common and it seems to be for 95% of us. So monistat, goodbye"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I made the mistake of reading these reviews after inserting the egg. I freaked out and considered taking it out but soon found that impossible to do. I didn’t notice any severe burning but as I was freaked out by some peoples experiences, I decided to stay lying down with a pillow under my lower back and I think that made a huge difference in reducing side effects. I noticed a slight amount of burning when I got up to pee so I have a feeling the flow of the medicine to external areas is the culprit. I had a pretty mild infection and I’m frustrated that the labelling doesn’t really indicate the harshness of this medication though. I try to keep things natural but I didn’t feel like fussing with garlic or yogurt or anything. The medication seems to be working less than 24 hours later so it works at least. Probably wouldn’t use it again but here to report that you may not react how everyone else is and not to be too worried about it!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I used to use this med quite often. What the heck did they do to it. Oh my goodness I thought I was going to die. It is getting better after about an hour, but this is ridiculous. Never again. I swear by a bath with about a cup of table salt to keep YI's away."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I used M1 and have been in agony for more than a week! I had to go to my GYN who diagnosed a chemical burn to my vagina!. I don't know if going to the pool the next day added to it, but have now been using a steroid ointment and finally a Lidocaine ointment that burns like hell before it does its numbing. My GYN said this stuff is the the worst thing for vaginas I agree!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Update: I finally went to the obgyn after excruciating burning and severe swelling. Guess what? They said I had a CHEMICAL BURN. They said they never recommend this product to patients due to high alcohol content along with other irritants. They prescribed me a yeast pill and told me to use desitin diaper cream for babies instead. DO NOT BUY IF YOU WANT TO SAVE YOUR VAG!!!!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Yes I know my nick name is Fire Pepper but I never thought I would live up to this name. Monistat 1, I highly do not recommend. Within 5 minutes of inserting this into my Vagina, I experience some very intense burning accompanied with severe itching. I thought I was dying! I felt like a part of my body will forever be damaged. I couldn’t tell my boyfriend this, he would think I have an STFD Sexually Transmitted Fire Disease. Also the leakage is nasty and messy! I’m having to wear a pad daily just to not mess up my underwear. When you sit down feel like you’re going to slip and slide in your crotch! It is now week 3 there I still a tiny bit of discharge. I just want it to be finished already. So the effectiveness of this product I would say a 0! I still had to go to the doctor, Diflucan is the best route to take and it’s hassle free, pain free and not messy at all!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I felt a little itchy, so I decided to use a Monistat 7 insert to try to stop anything from getting too bad. A few days later, I knew my YI was just getting worse and I was over feeling like that. I bought the generic for Monistat 1 and inserted it about 8:30. I was up and down for the next hour while the meds did their thing. Yes, the itch was intense...very intense. No burning, though, and my V is pretty sensitive to everything. However, this morning I'm 100% better. I will take the few hours of intense itching for overall relief."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "OMgoodness so I've taken the 3 day and 7 days of Monistat in the past, no problem. My story: So after taking some antibiotics for 10 days I had a visit from the YI monster. I took the 1 day, and holy hell fire. I woke up feeling like Satan took up a vacation home in my lady lands. I tried the flipping cream that came with it too, & nope FIRE DOWN BELOW! I finally read below about a woman being told Desitin diaper rash cream from her doctor, and at this point, I would put tigers blood on my burrito if it would stop this holy hell fire. Welp, after literally sitting in the shower for 20 minutes, my awesome partner went out and got me Desitin and that worked. I think the combination of going in the shower and putting the Desitin cream on afterwards helped. I even took 2 advil. DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT. Unless you want to feel like napalm hit your va jay jay and its neighbor."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I am convinced Monistat was created by men who hate women! I have tried everything to get this intense burning to stop, nothing helps. A shower helped for a few minutes but the burning is back along with swelling and it feels like my inner vagina is having convolutions. Never ever again. I wanted fast relief from the YI now I wish I had those same problems instead of this “cure ”"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I cannot believe this product is allowed to keep being sold. Within minutes of using Monistat, for feeling slightly itchy, now I feel like I am on fire, being bitten by a thousand ants. How can all of the reviews for a product be having similar horrible reactions and this product still be on the market???"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Hi everyone I just felt obligated to write this reviews as others were so negative! After inserting the ovule and using the cream, my itching/burning slightly increased. However it wasn’t much worse than the itchiness and burning I had been dealing with do to my YI. After reading reviews I was so scared I would be up for hours in pain but feel asleep after a while and woke up feeling much better. No longer itchy or experiencing discharge. It’s not the most comfortable but it works."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "For all the ladies that needs help. The times I’ve used this before and have had an ACTUAL AWFUL SEVERE YI this has not burned me. But this time it did so I’m assuming it’s because I had such a mild case for a yeast infection! This does help a lot but PLEASE if you have a mild yeast infection and you don’t think it isn’t as bad I would suggest just using the 3 day or even the 7 day since it’s not in such a high dosage. I also did have a yeast infection the week prior to using this and used the 3 day because I had just gotten off antibiotics. The 3 day didn’t burn me but this one did and like I said I’m assuming since I used the 1 day and it’s such high dosage that’s why it burned! It even burned for days after and I still had some itch!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I just inserted the stuff and about 30mins later I felt a light itching I also had to pee, so after I peed there was a burning feeling that felt like fire and light throbbing in my vagina. Feels like Satan is skipping inside my vagina it's the worse feeling I have ever had. Idk what do this is my first time using it and I'm embarrassed because I'm afraid to tell my bf I have great balls of fire in my vagina."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "The itching is very very intense about 5 minutes after you use it. It goes away (I've used it before) this same reaction happened last time and I'm sure this is how the product works. After my 1 day treatment my infection went away! It's a good product and gets the job done. Although I could do without the mad itching feeling... It really does help, you just have to get over the few hours of pain and itching."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I was kind of dreading putting the egg in because I had read all of these comments before hand, but I had finally worked up the courage to do it. Initially there was a little bit of burning but nothing I couldn’t handle. It got better after the first hour and I can barely feel it. The creme stings more to me, anyway I’m already feeling better the next morning I would recommend this product just take a couple Advil before:)"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I am currently laying with a bag of frozen corn between my legs and reading this reviews to distract myself. If you happen to be reading this BEFORE using/buying this product, DO NOT USE IT!!! I am on FIRE and BLEEDING from this product. If you’re like me and only read reviews after the fact to make sure you weren’t having a literal emergency, good luck. It has been a few hours and it is starting to subside, but I would much rather have used a longer timed treatment than experience this. NOT WORTH IT and SHOULD NOT BE ON THE SHELVES"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "It’s currently 4 am and I’m laying here with a washcloth on my vagina wishing I read these reviews before buying. I was on the Fluconazole pills but after two days of them not working, I decided to try out the monistat one day. I know a lot of people who have used it and it seemed like the next best option. I didn’t have any pain during the insertion but throughout the night... holy moly. I'm in so much pain right now. Burning and itching. I hope this pain is either worth it, or goes away soon."

I am in so much pain, the burning is nothing like I have ever experienced. Currently crying, because I cannot get this pain to go away! Please contact your dr about another option, I do not want anyone to go through this!"
