For Vaginal Yeast Infection "After reading all of these terrifying comments, I was so prepared for this to burn me so bad that I would want my vag to fall off, but it didn’t. I was awake for at least an hour before I fell asleep after putting it in, and it tingled and itched just a little bit, but nothing more than that. I found that it itched more when I got up to use the bathroom really quick after 30 minutes of having it in. Definitely wear a pad when using this product, as it does leak quite a bit, less if you put it in higher, they said. I’m only on day one of this though, so if anything changes, I will definitely be back to update everyone."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Just put in the 3rd dose of this (I’m using the cream), and honestly, I think it's working great. When I put in the 1st dose, I felt a little tingly for about an hour and then fell asleep fine. The next morning, I was still a little itchy, but for the most part, it got a lot better. When I did my 2nd dose, I felt nothing at all (no burning or tingling), although the cream was a little bit weird to have in me (squishy feeling). The day after my 2nd dose, I felt almost 100% better, and I probably would've been fine without a 3rd dose. I’m 19, and this was my first yeast infection. I’m pretty sure my infection was a pretty mild one too. Hopefully, it cured me completely!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I saw all these reviews talking about the burning and pain. I didn’t experience any of that. My yeast infection wasn’t the worst I’ve ever had, but it wasn’t the most subtle. What I did was take ibuprofen and Benadryl like an hour before. I felt some tingling, but nothing alarming. The Benadryl made me nice and sleepy, so I guess I may have slept through it. I’m on my second day, and my symptoms have decreased wonderfully. Didn’t itch once."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Absolutely recommend suppositories over cream! This is my second YI in my lifetime, and the first time I used the 3-day cream Monistat. Worst mistake ever! Never again. It makes the burning and itching 1000x worse, but it did clear the YI up for me. Should have read the reviews before. But this time, a year later, I bought the ovules or suppositories, and I inserted them about an hour ago, and so far only a little bit of tingling, but it feels like it is working."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I have had a yeast infection for about 3-4 days before getting any kind of medication for it and can say that the skin on my vagina had started to peel from irritation and me scratching. I tried all the “natural healthy ways” at home to fix it, but it only burned more, got more swollen, or tingled. I got some Monistat and put it in, used the anti-itch cream, and I feel better. More frequent peeing, which I guess is my body helping the medicine out of my system. I’ve used Monistat for years since I was in high school - no problems."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I didn’t read the reviews before I got this product. This is my first night using the product, after I put the tube in. I'd say about 3-5 minutes in, I felt some tingling down there. It started heating my walls like ping pong balls. I can still feel the tingling, but no itching (thank God). I had to take some pain relief because I do not want to wake my husband up. Wear cotton underwear and one pad, because if the ladies say it’s draining, that is going to hurt more - they ain’t lying. While writing this review, the tingling had stopped, maybe because of the pain relief. Who knows, lol."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Okay, so I'm only on Day 2, but I had a mild yeast infection and decided to get this 3-day medication. Day 1, there was a little tingling for about an hour, and it went away. I woke up, and it seemed as if the YI was gone. Perfect! Right? Wrong. Here I am on Day 2, and the itching is unbearable."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "So I’ve had a yeast infection before, so I knew the signs. As soon as I started feeling that weird irritation, I knew. I went and got the 3-day. I’ve had my first application in for about 1 hour, and it’s a little tingling but nothing that isn’t too uncomfortable. I should be able to sleep peacefully (hopefully). I do know that right now the little tingling that I’m feeling is way better than the itching and burning I was feeling earlier. Oh, the joys of being a woman."
