For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Ladies, it only burns if your yeast infection is really bad. I have used Monistat a million times. Sometimes my yeast infections were not so bad, so when inserted, there was no itching. But when you have a full-blown, nasty yeast infection, when you apply Monistat, it’s going to burn like anything. But it gets rid of the infection for sure."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Oh my God, it’s like hot fiberglass and fire ants scratching up my whoha. The doctor visit can’t come fast enough. I’m contemplating going to the ER. Is there anything that can be done to soothe this itchy, prickly fire? Can practically see my delicate layers melting away. HELP!!! Seriously, can we sue these people!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I decided to go with the Monistat 1 because I didn’t want to do a 3 or 7-day treatment. It’s 8:13 am, and I'm lying in bed crying in severe pain, itching like crazy and sleepy because my meds (unrelated to a YI) have been wanting to knock me out for hours ago. But I can’t sleep!! This is the worst vaginal pain I’ve had, and I’ve birthed 3 children. I can’t stop squirming either, this is way worse than the freaking yeast infection. I’m going to have to get an ice pack to soothe my vagina, horrible treatment. I wish they offered a pill OTC that could cure a simple YI because this is ridiculous, pure torture is what it is."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Do not use this! I think they changed their formula this year or something. It felt like fire ants, gasoline, and acid were thrown in my vagina. It’s raw and swollen and just awful. It’s hard enough dealing with a freaking yeast infection, then here comes this terrible medicine to make your life worse. Shame on you, Monistat."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Basically, I can't decide whether I hate myself more for not reading these reviews before I inserted the devil's tears of laughter into the most sensitive part of my body... or because I am currently in a fetal position in tears and extremely nauseous because of the pain, and I haven't called 911 yet. I have a very high pain tolerance, and I have tattoos covering the most sensitive parts of my body, but nothing has ever felt like this. My stomach is convulsing, and I have to keep reminding myself to breathe. I would rather give birth to 34 children the size of small livestock. (IF this is even a possibility after this bloody thing kills everything living inside of me.) What's good, Monistat? Where you at?"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I bought the Monistat 7 since I am pregnant and my doctor recommended it for my yeast infection. I have the plastic applicators, and I took a bath and applied the cream inside with the applicator. I am currently squirming around as I'm writing this. I don't understand why it feels like this. I'm trying to stick it out in hopes that it is killing the infection, but I seriously want to scrape it all out. It is burning... not too painful, but enough to drive me INSANE. I mean, I cannot stay in one position for more than 10 seconds. It's like an itch that can't be scratched way up in there. It's literally torturing me. My advice is to try something else."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I’ve had a yeast infection for about a month now, called my gyno, got a prescription for Diflucan and thought all was right. I was wrong. After the itching and irritation came back, I decided on a one-night treatment of Monistat suppository. When I woke up, let me tell you, I was in agony. My vagina has swelled to be about twice its normal size, and now my further nether regions were on fire too. I called my doctor right away, she got me in on her lunch break and told me to never, ever use Monistat because there is a chemical irritant in it, causing you to become more itchy and swollen. Not only did Monistat make it worse, I now had chemical burns on my anus, butt crack, and butt cheeks (where the cream leaked to while sleeping). I will NEVER use this product ever again, and I advise anyone who thinks they have a yeast infection to NOT self-diagnose and just call your doctor or go to urgent care."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I used Monistat for the first time today, and it was okay at first. Then, when I went to sleep, I woke up with the cream all over my pad and on the inside of my vagina lips. I was woken up by the burning of my vagina and ran to the bathroom to get it off and tried to get most of it out. This is very painful, and I wouldn’t recommend buying this."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "First time with a YI. Decided to try and treat it quickly OTC instead of going to the doctor and paying more. Used the Monistat 1 combination pack with the ovule and itch relief cream. Immediately after inserting it and using the cream, I felt intense burning inside and outside of my vagina. I toughed it out for an hour before getting in the bath and trying to remove as much of the cream from inside as I could. Currently laying in my bed with an ice pack against my cooter to try and make the burning go away. Definitely do not recommend and not worth the money spent. Unfortunately, if you're reading this, it’s most likely too late and you’ve already bought and used this product, so good luck."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Same as most on here. 3 am laying in bed, reading reviews, debating on whether or not I should go wash this medicine out. The burning and itching are so much worse than it was before I inserted the cream. Day 1 of the 3-day process, don't think I'll be using anymore. Scared now after reading about chemical burns."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "So I’m so happy to hear I’m not the only one that had burning. This was the first time I used Monistat and holy moly. I told my fiancé I wanted my vagina OFF. It was the most pain I’ve ever had in that area (and I’m a mom). Definitely burned for a couple of hours, but after that it felt so much better. I don’t think I’d ever buy this again because honestly, that burn is definitely not worth it."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "The reaction to the Monistat was much, much, much, much, much worse than the yeast infection symptoms to the point I dreaded time to use the product each night. It’s like injecting liquid yeast infection into your vagina! The directions say to apply some onto the outside if you have itching, but it seems like a cruel joke. It will only make it itch worse. So much regret. Itching, burning, and stomach cramping. Lesson learned, I won’t make this mistake again."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I figured I’d try to self-treat my YI to save some coin...but looking back, I’d pay anything to never feel that burn again. I picked up the three-day treatment. I put the cream up the ja-ja and applied the external cream as directed. I felt instant relief. It was amazing, I was finally able to get a good night’s sleep...FALSE. I woke up at a lovely 3 o’clock a.m., experiencing pure fire. I quietly walked to the bathroom. I tried to investigate what went horribly wrong. Redness. Swelling. Cream everywhere. The sensation can only be described as sitting on a cactus filled with battery acid. I panicked trying to get the cream out, but it was too late. The damage had been done. I took the rest of the day to recover, figuring I’d purchase the 7-day treatment because of the lower dosage. That was my plan. I’m brilliant, right? FALSE. As predicted, this was another horrible idea. The OBGYN was called."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "OMG! So before I used this Monistat cream, I inserted plain, natural, low-fat yogurt into my vagina once a day. I didn’t like the mess it made and how often it would leak out of my vagina. I decided to purchase the Monistat cream this morning at around 9. I took a shower, and then I inserted the Monistat cream. I’m thinking to myself, “Ok, maybe I won’t burn this time.” Literally, 10 seconds later, the most intense burning sensation eeevvverrrrrrr. The itching is so intense as well. I tried to lay down to take a nap, it’s just so uncomfortable. I literally sit with my legs crossed."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Lord, help me! I had some itching down there for a couple of days with irritation after being on antibiotics. Wish I had taken a probiotic with it. Took Monistat 1 instead of the 3-day that I have tried before. It's now the next morning, and I've been up all night! For a few hours after inserting it, it swelled up, and the burn was unbearable. It subsided slightly overnight, but it's still so, so bad - feels like lemon juice to an open wound down there all over! My poor pootang! I almost want to go to the doctor, I'm scared! I currently have a frozen burrito on it, lol. Only little relief I got is with an ice pack."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "This is my first time using Monistat 3, and it works GREAT and FAST. The first night I used it, I was experiencing itching and overall irritation, and the next morning I had very, very minor irritation and no itching, as if the infection cleared overnight. I would definitely use this again! It works wonders."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "On Monday, I was hit by a car. I got a concussion. I didn't cry. On Wednesday, I got Monistat to treat my yeast infection. The itching and burning were so incredibly intense, I panicked, cried, and rinsed as much of it out as I could. I would rather get hit by the car again than continue to use Monistat. Please, please, PLEASE, if you have any other options, DO NOT use Monistat. Also, did you know you can get one (1) fluconazole pill for $4, and it will get rid of your yeast infection??? You have to get a prescription, but if your insurance covers a hospital visit, it's so, so, so much better than anything Monistat has to offer. Please don't use Monistat if you can avoid it. Full disclosure, I have no idea whether or not Monistat would have gotten rid of my yeast infection because I couldn't stand the pain long enough to find out!"

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 "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."

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."
