For Vaginal Yeast Infection "DO NOT BUY!! It was my first time getting a YI. I went online to see if I could find a product that would help me, and I decided to go with Monistat 3. BIG MISTAKE! Day 1 wasn’t so bad, I had trouble sleeping. The burning and itching was mildly intense. I took it like a champ. Now, on day 2, I applied the product around 10:30 pm. It’s now 1:30 am, and I cannot sleep for anything. My coochie meow meow is on fire. It is burning and itching so intensely. I’m bouncing off the walls! My kitty is about to fall off me. It feels like I put 10 ghost peppers, 10 bottles of Tapatio, and 300 jalapeños up there!! It is literally the opening of a volcano!!! I cannot stand the pain. I have work tomorrow, and I'm honestly considering going to the urgent care! I wish I would have read these comments sooner, it would have saved me from this pain. I am SUFFERING. THE WORST PAIN I'VE EVER BEEN IN!!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I never experienced this before with Monistat in the past, but my special place is burning and itching so bad. I want to take a bristle brush and just scratch the skin off my labias. It itches more than it burns 'in my case,' but I'm only an hour in writing this. Who is to say how it will feel in 3 hours or more."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "This stuff burns like crazy. But it helps. My yeast infection was horrible, the itching was unbearable. I’ve used Monistat before, and the first time there was only mild burning and itching after inserting the cream. I think they must’ve changed the formula because this time it was like being lit on fire. My entire vagina feels like it is engulfed in flames, and I cannot control the spasms of my body as I claw the bed hoping for some relief. I’m on my third night of the 3-day Monistat. The first time did not burn like this. Each day the burning intensity got worse after insertion, but I believe that it’s helping. The second day the symptoms of my yeast infection were way less noticeable, and I’m hoping tomorrow it’ll feel even better. The pain lasted about 30 minutes. If you can tough it out, it can provide relief later on. Squeeze a pillow between your legs. Grind your hips if you need to, that’s what I’ve found helped a lot to manage the pain. Once it stops, you don’t even feel it."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Do not buy this. I last used Monistat for a yeast infection a couple of years ago with no issues. Used it last night and woke up this morning with itching and burning 100 times worse than before I used it. Sat on an ice pack for an hour, now I'm in the bath trying to flush it out. I will never buy this product again. I will be calling my doctor's office tomorrow when they open to have someone look at my poor vagina to make sure it's not chemically burned."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Holy Hoohah, my cooch is on fire! I applied it for the first time, and it feels like someone put a Carolina Reaper on my poor coochie. I am not even thirty minutes in yet. I’ll update if it gets worse, but do not buy unless you can stand getting habaneros in your hoohah."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Do NOT buy Monistat. I have never had a YI before, but I followed my mother and my sister's advice and I got the Monistat 3. The pain is not worth the money, I have never felt a burn in my hooha like the burn I experienced using this product. Imagine having someone pour lava straight from the mantle into your basement. I tried to stick it out, but I had to scramble to the bathroom to sit legs up under the faucet for relief. You are better off using some home remedies or going to your doctor."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I’ve only had a yeast infection one other time in my life, maybe 10 years ago. I used the Monistat egg back then, and it worked like a charm. Fast forward to this week when I got one. I bought the 3-day cream because it was all that was available. About 20 minutes after insertion, I was so uncomfortable I could feel my blood pressure rising. This stuff is no joke! The intense itching from the inside and the burning pain I felt was awful. I ended up taking Tylenol and a Benadryl, thinking maybe it was an allergic reaction! I woke up today swollen and in more pain than I was before the medication. I really hope the company decides to take action over these reviews."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Do not buy!!! Monistat 3 pre-filled app. is the worst. I ended up in urgent care the next morning from the intense burning, swelling, and a horrible reaction to this. I will never use this product again. I am not sure what they changed in this, but if you have ever had a yeast infection, go to the doctor. Monistat is not worth it any longer...."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Used the egg and cream before bed. Woke up a couple of hours later with burning and excruciating pain. Shower didn't help much. I literally have a chemical burn. Why is this still on the market? I will push to get this removed from the shelves. 12 hours later and not much relief. So sore I hurt to move. I am going to the doctor tomorrow to document. Considering an attorney."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I've used Monistat before and had no issues. I popped the first dose of my 3-day pack, and I'm 98% sure my vagina is now dead. Like, I think they replaced their formula with acid, and they said, 'yup, that will definitely do the trick.' Three seconds after popping that med up there, I was crying. I washed it out and put an ice pack on there like a burn victim. Anyway, don't recommend this murderous cream at all. R.I.P. Vagina."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I got a yeast infection for the first time from taking an antibiotic. I saw reviews online for Monistat and decided to give it a try. I am an extremely squeamish person, so the thought of inserting a cream through a tube was a bit terrifying for me, but I managed. I got Monistat 7 because it was the only one available at my Walmart, however, I am glad it worked out that way. The first three nights of application, I experienced an increase of itchiness and burning, which was rather uncomfortable for about an hour, then it would calm down and I could go to sleep. Nights four through seven, I did not feel anything. Symptoms were gone and no burning or itching when I applied the cream. This thing really did the job. I am glad I ended up with the seven-day because I know the 1-day or 3-day one would’ve burned more because they are higher dosages."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Stop. Don’t purchase it. I bought Monistat earlier today for this yeast infection. Put in the suppository around 11 pm. It is currently 12:55 am, and I have been up for an hour with the ABSOLUTE WORST BURNING SENSATION EVER! I wish to everything I would’ve read about this sooner because this is pain. This is itching. This is burning. My vajayjay is so raw and sore because I can’t help but want to get this all out. Please do not get it. It isn’t worth it. At. All."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Terrible! I used a generic 3-day yeast suppository and felt relief with no side effects, but still had a bit of itching, so this time I tried Monistat 7 days. Had pain and burning, so bad I couldn’t sleep! I am not using the remainder of the Monistat."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I’ve used the 3-day treatment a few times in the past and had burning and itching, but it was tolerable and wasn’t bad. But this time around was quite worse. My vagina currently has 4 chemical burns: 1 on the labia, 2 on the side of the labia, and 1 right above the opening. I am in severe pain and cannot pee without screaming and damn near crying. I literally try to avoid peeing as much as possible right now until I can get to my doctor on Tuesday. This cream should be taken off the shelf with how many complaints it has. There’s also no telling what it’s doing to our insides either! DO NOT BUY THIS STUFF! YOU WILL REGRET IT!!!!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I pray you came here before using this product! I hardly ever get YI, maybe once a year. I’ve always used Monistat and have had no problems until now. About 5 seconds after I inserted the medicine, I was met with IMMEDIATE regret. I have never felt anything like what was happening. My vag was on FIRE. I started pacing and was trying to resist the urge to find an ice pack for my coochie. To make things worse, the water in my house was off due to maintenance, so I could not try to rinse it out or cool down at all. I was forced to wait it out. After about an hour, it did settle down and is 100% tolerable. If you’re coming here after using this product, wondering why it’s burning, I’m so sorry. I won’t be buying this brand again. NOT WORTH THE PAIN."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "This was my first time having a yeast infection. I 10/10 do not recommend this product because the burning sensation was too much to handle. The burning sensation lasted for over 12 hours. This product made my symptoms much worse after they were starting to get better (without medication). I had instant regret once the medication was already inside me. I would’ve been better off not taking anything for it. Never again will I take Monistat!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Currently feels like a bunch of red-hot fire ants are biting me on the inside and outside of my vagina. It started out mild. After 20 minutes, it was full-blown burn and only got worse from there. My yeast infection was so uncomfortable that at 2:00 AM, I went to Walgreens. I spent $21.39 on Monistat 3. At 2:30 AM, I had done the insertion. As soon as I pulled the applicator out, the burn started. But like I said, it was mild at first. By 3:00 AM, I was debating whether to go dig this crap out. I got a cold washcloth at about 3:20 AM, and that helped. Still, for the next hour, the burning got worse. It's now 9 AM. Still burns. Save your money, ladies."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "The Monistat burn and itch is real. It's been 30 minutes so far, and I am on fire. Some say that this symptom is the Monistat working. Maybe it will be better in a few hours. If significant relief doesn't occur in the AM, I won't be using it again. What an uncomfortable experience!!! Cannot rate yet, only 30 minutes in . . ."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I get frequent yeast infections, and while I usually go to a doctor, I decided to save some time and get Monistat. DO NOT EVER USE THIS PRODUCT. I inserted it and immediately felt like I dumped gasoline in my vagina and lit it on fire. I was in tears from the itching and burning and had to flush it out. I am calling the FDA about this product because it is unsafe. I followed up and saw a doctor two days later, and they found burn marks that were bleeding along with my yeast infection. Stay safe, and if you are reading this and it has happened to you, call the FDA!!"

They must have changed the formula, I will never use this medicine again in my life. I will go to urgent care tomorrow to get Diflucan."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I purchased the Monistat 1 day because I wanted to be done with this mild yeast infection quickly, and it has always worked for me with no problems. Never have I felt burning like I did with this product. I was close to tears before I got in the shower to direct the showerhead up my center to rid myself of this awful product. I’m mad not only because I wasted my money, but also because I was tortured by that stuff. The cure is worse than the infection!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Damn! I purchased Monistat 3, used it last night, and immediately after using it, I started to feel terrible burning and horrible itching. Now keep in mind I’ve never had this happen to me before ever, and I’ve used these whenever I had a YI. I don’t know what they did to this product, but I won’t be buying again, and I’m going to call them up and file a complaint because this is ridiculous. And it’s the following day, and I’m still burning and itching. I don’t recommend using this product. Just see your doctor if you can. I would give it a 0 if I could. And for those saying it’s supposed to do that, no, it’s not supposed to do this at all. This is the first time this has happened to me, and I’ve used them numerous times with no issues till now."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Do NOT use this! After a couple of days of dealing with a YI, I decided this may speed up healing. I inserted the cream and instantly had itching that was so unbearable I literally cried because after 15 minutes I couldn’t do it and scratched, which resulted in burning. I rinsed most of it off and things subsided. The next day my YI symptoms were better, so tonight I thought, hey, it must’ve been getting rid of the yeast, and maybe that’s why it got so intense, so tonight couldn’t be nearly as bad. Let me do the second dose. Horrible idea, within seconds I regretted that decision as I had gone ALL day with hardly an itch and barely any burning to a ridiculously unbearable itch that again resulted in tears, itching, burning, and washing. I will be calling my OB tomorrow for a different course of action because Monistat made things so much worse than the YI on its own. Awful experience and awful product. If I ever get another YI, I will never try this again!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I was experiencing some slight itching that I was sure was a yeast infection since I had just finished a course of antibiotics. I often will get a yeast infection after taking antibiotics. Immediately after using the cream, I felt intense burning and itching like I've never felt before. I washed off the cream as best I could and applied some cortisone cream and took an antihistamine. The burning and itching subsided after about a half an hour. I've used Monistat numerous times in the past and have never had this happen before. I'm wondering, based on all these reviews, if it was a bad batch."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Don't do it! I am not sure what happened to this product, I used it years ago with zero problems. This time, after an hour of extreme burning and itching, I got online. As almost every woman on here said, I should have read the reviews first. Attempted to wash it all out, but I am laying here in terrible pain. I guess I won't be sleeping tonight. They should have to print a giant warning on the box."
