For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Had a UTI, then antibiotics made it itch and twitch and overall uncomfortable. Once I realized I had a YI due to antibiotics, I tried Monistat 1 for quick results. Absolutely no concerns. I got the pack with the cream and wipes. Love the cream for the outside to minimize the YI itching. Ovule is messier than I realized. Within 24 hours of using, I feel 100% better. Would use again."

So you can't say it's bad to use because every woman's body is different. :) I used it, and it worked wonderfully on me. Just keep in mind, ladies, our bodies are ALL different :)"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I took Plan B last week, and Plan B is known for throwing your pH balance off, so I caught a yeast infection. My vagina felt very raw, and I kept a cold towel down there to numb the pain. I took Monistat 1 because that's what the CVS pharmacist prescribed. This YI was so unbearable, and what made it worse is I'm on my period. I inserted the egg and put the cream everywhere. I barely want to walk, talk, eat, or do anything. My vagina is so sad right now, it burns, it itches. I just need relief from this uncomfortable pain."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I just used this 1-day ovule for the first time, and it worked great! I did not get any burning or itching sensation at all. I put it in before I went to bed and feel a lot better in the morning. I would recommend seeing your doctor if it's the first time you have had a yeast infection, but otherwise, this is a good product to use."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Please read reviews before use. I did not. I used it about an hour ago, and now I’m having the most severe itching/burning I’ve ever felt. I’m currently jumping around trying to get it to leak out, and then I’m going to shower. Yes, I’m in tears writing this. NOT WORTH IT. I had a mild yeast infection, and now I’m in severe pain. DO NOT BUY."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "So I just put the egg in about an hour ago. I've used this a few times before, and it worked like a charm. This time, within a few minutes of inserting the egg, the worst and most uncomfortable pain I've ever experienced. I literally cried for almost an hour. I didn't want to remove the egg in hopes that I could tolerate the pain and itch and that I would be all better soon. I read that plain yogurt (cold) relieves the itching and burning and helps rid of the YI bacteria. Desperately and thankfully, I had some plain yogurt in the fridge. I applied it all over my vagina as well as inside my vagina while the egg still remained. It took away the itch, burn, and pain almost completely. Sounds weird, but try it! Hopefully, I can help someone else out."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Y'all. Okay. So I tried this about a year and a half ago, and it was awful. But I forgot about that and bought it again today and didn't remember my last experience until my best friend said something after I had already inserted this little egg from the pits of hell. I was fine for the first 3 hours, so I thought I was in the clear. Took a shower. Dried off. Then felt a little itchy, so I decided to apply the external cream before going to bed. Apparently, this cream is the detonator. Cue the most severe burning, itching, and tingling of my life. Scooped out what I could with a cold towel. Also, do NOT get any on your back end hole because that will burn too. Currently cooling off in front of my fan. Never again."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I'm 17, and this is my second yeast infection. The first time I used Monistat 3, and I didn't have any itching or burning that I do now while using Monistat 1. This pain is excruciating. I took it around 7 pm, I didn't feel anything until 8:30 pm. I knew I had the infection only a day ago, so I bought this one for faster relief, not knowing it was going to cause more itching and burning than the actual infection. I could not stop complaining to my mom, so I sat with my legs wide open in front of the fan to cool it down. I hope this is just the medicine working."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "NO & HELL NO!!!! After not even 2 hours, my poor vagina and vulvar area was burning, itching worse than the YI did, and all was inflamed. Came on here THEN read the reviews. I jumped in the shower and washed everything off of me/in me as best as I could. I am now lying in bed, in November, with the ceiling fan on (no ice pack), cooling my poor affected areas down. Don't use the strongest formula. As for me, I'll go back to other methods... even the nausea I get with Dipluran is better than this!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I've had yeast infections before but have always caught them early enough to take care of with home remedies. I wasn't as fortunate this time around... My YI symptoms became too unbearable today (to the point I almost left work 'sick' to go home and wallow in my misery), so I picked up the Monistat 1 Maximum Strength ovule. Not sure if their idea of maximum strength means singe a woman's vagina with fire until there are no nerve endings left in there to itch, but OMG!!! I inserted the ovule around 9:30 pm, and about 30 minutes later, it began to itch and burn a million times worse than any YI I've ever experienced. I had to take an Epsom salt bath and get as much of it out as I could. HORRIBLE, NEVER AGAIN."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "This 1-day Monistat... I will never try again. I wasn't even burning at first, just an itch from taking an antibiotic. This egg I inserted made my pocketbook burn. I don't recommend this product if you can't stand a constant burn to your private area."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I used the 1-day yesterday and inserted it at 11:30 a.m. with a panty liner. No burning, just the annoying leakage, which is why I used the liner. It relieved the discomfort of the yeast infection right away. I've never used this medication before, but would use it again. Today, the burning and itching are gone, and everything is clearing up."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Fire in the hole! In my opinion, to use this product, you have to be a sadist or a psycho. I'm on a strong course of antibiotics for an upper respiratory infection, and as a present, I got a yeast infection as a result. I decided to use the 1-day treatment to just get it over with, and it may be the worst decision of my life. Within moments after I administered the treatment, I began with an intense burning and itching sensation that was worse than the infection's symptoms. I just hit a home run with my shower head to try and alleviate the discomfort and rid myself of the devil cream. I would not recommend nor ever use it again. User beware!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "So I felt the YI coming on and decided to try Monistat oval on Sunday night. Woke up Monday morning on fire. It was so bad I felt like my vagina had been sentenced to hell. I left work early and went to see my PCP, she ordered Diflucan. By midday, my vagina had swollen so bad I was walking gap-legged and couldn't wear any panties. So, I decided to ice it and take Motrin to help with the inflammation. It helped a lot, but here it is day 2 and I'm still slightly swollen, itching, twitching inside, and extremely sensitive. I would never ever ever use another Monistat product. It literally feels like someone poured gas on my vagina and struck a match. Ladies, avoid this product like the plague."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I am 66 and have had yeast infections in my day, but never was the cure so monumentally more painful than the condition. I put in the ampule, expecting sweet relief, and within 2 hours I was a raving lunatic with burning and itching beyond belief in my lady parts. I decided my best option was to GET. IT. OUT., and sent poor Grandpa to the pharmacy to get a douche bag. Picture that, people. Sweet relief and never again!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "So I purchased the Monistat 1 ovule Monday night and inserted it around 9 something. As I was laying down, I started to read the reviews on here and got scared for my life because I was scared that I would endure that burning and itching. I actually didn't have any problems with that... but the second time I put the external cream on, I damn near died. It burned so bad that I hurried up and ran to the bathroom to take a shower. I think I used it too close in time... but it's now the next day and I feel wonderful. No more itching or burning, just discharge still from the medicine coming out."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "So this was my first yeast infection, and I know it's recommended you go to the doctor first. I had read that some home remedies work, so I was downing oregano oil and rubbing yeast guard all over the place. I read online that Monistat is a good antifungal, so I got desperate and bought some. So I bought the 1-day ovule. I inserted it and felt fine for the next couple of hours. But then I went to the restroom, and after, I started itching really bad for about a couple of hours, and then it slowly calmed down. I went to bed about 12 and woke up at 7 feeling completely normal. My lady area is a little sore as to be expected. I have a high pain tolerance, so I mean, it itched, but not as bad as some of the comments on here. I recommend it."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "This is a great product. Didn't quite experience that burning, god-awful sensation, and the next day the symptoms were gone. Although there was a warm sensation and a bit of itchiness after insertion, it was nothing major, and I was able to go to sleep and sleep through the night. Good luck, ladies!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Holy moly! I have never felt so uncomfortable in my life! It felt like my vajayjay was on fire! The itching was so intense. I took this at 9:00 pm, at 12 am, I woke up with the intense itching. The itching lasted 4 long hours (I mean intense). The next morning, the yeast infection went away. Having said that, I would rather have a yeast infection than go through that extreme discomfort again. Having a C-section was more pleasant than this product!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "First, I don't write reviews, but I have to for this one. I just finished taking antibiotics and got a YI. I used the Monistat 1 Day O. After inserting it, within an hour, I was burning and itching severely. It's been 3 hours now, and I'm still hurting. I can't even close my legs because I'm so swollen. I don't recommend this product if you are a sensitive person. I will never, ever buy this again. Trust me, if you don't want your vagina feeling like someone threw gas on it and then threw a match on it, don't get this."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "So I'm about to turn 16, and I got my first yeast infection. And my mom took me to the store to get something, and I had gotten Monistat 3. The product actually took the swelling away, but the itching is unbearable, like I hate it. But other than that, the product really works, and if you guys are complaining about how it makes you itch and burn more, on the box it tells you that you're gonna have more of a burn and itch while using it. Other than the itching and burning, I'd recommend this product."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "This is awful!!! I should've read the reviews first!! I was uncomfortable with the yeasty infection, but I was functioning daily. This thing has me laying here holding my crotch, begging for the painful, uncomfortable itch and burn to go away! I just put it in 2 hours ago. I got what I could of the 'egg' out. I hope this at least has some effect for the better so my fiery vag wasn't for nothing! Awful experience, won't be doing this again! I paid an expensive amount of money, I feel, for pure torture!!!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I'm 17 years old, and I took this once before a few months ago. After 3 hours of insertion, I woke up screaming and couldn't fall back asleep because the pain was so horrible. But 2 days later, all my symptoms were gone. Unfortunately, I just got another yeast infection due to a weak immune system. I was so scared to use this again because of my painful first experience, but I knew it would be the fastest way to get rid of it. Thankfully, this time, the burning wasn't nearly as bad as the first time but still burned and itched. It's only been 12 hours, but my symptoms are already going away. Basically, tough out the pain and stay calm because it will go away, and your yeast infection will be gone in a matter of days."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I don't usually write reviews, but I felt with all the terrible experiences, it was important to share mine. I have had a YI for about 4 days and was taking a pill medication with no luck. So without reading the reviews, I purchased this. I got home around 7 pm, inserted the ovule, and got scared once I read the reviews online. I used the cream and got immediate relief and was fine until about 10:00 pm. At 10 pm, I felt some burning and itchiness, but nothing worse than how my YI felt, and it wasn't so uncomfortable that I couldn't sleep. To me, the burning was it working, so I just let it happen. I woke up this morning at 7 am, and the YI is completely gone. I would definitely use this product again."
