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 "I had a yeast infection for a couple of months. Like most people, I thought it would go away on its own, but it didn't. I finally decided to order Monistat 1 day. But once I received it, I got scared to use it because of all the negative reviews. I was scared of the intense burning! So I put it off for 2 weeks. Finally, I knew I had to use the product or the infection would never go away. I used it on a Monday morning. I waited for that intense burning/pain that others had mentioned, but it never happened. I was so thankful. Only bad thing, there was a lot of discharge. Other than that, I was fine. I felt better immediately, but it took about 2 weeks for it to completely go away. I definitely recommend this product!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I had symptoms for 2 days. I picked up the 1 over the 7-day because I liked how you insert the medicine into the infected area. I read these reviews after I had purchased and hesitated. I took a shower before bed, inserted the ovule, and braced myself... I watched TV for about an hour in bed before falling asleep just fine. I woke in the morning-zero 'pain,' just the discomfort from the YI I had already been feeling before. During the day, the swelling and burning did increase, but nothing unbearable. That night, I took a shower and peed before going to bed, and about 80% of it plopped out in the toilet. By morning, the swelling went down, and I felt amazing! Such relief!! More days later, and now it's even better. Worked great for me."

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 "Oh. My. God. I thought my YI was bad before I used Monistat, and now I'm wishing for that 'pain and itching' to return to me. Lord in heaven. I paid a lot for this, and my honey pot is BURNING. Not just uncomfortable, I'm literally dancing around and yelling curse words as I'm typing this. I can't take it anymore. I need to ice my vagina. I never thought I would ever NEED to ice my vagina. But thanks, Monistat. The grandest of canyons has been scorched by satan's nectar."

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 "Please save yourself from this misery. If you are reading this too late, may the force be with you. I am on day 3 now of using the 1-day treatment, and every night has been a total nightmare. It burns so immensely, and there's nothing you can do about it but wait it out and pray it subsides soon. It's like acid fire in your hoo-ha, you can't even sleep or do anything else except say, 'OMG!' over and over. I feel so helpless. Sitting in a warm tub, 2nd night now, with salt water, trying to soothe my poor burning vag, please stop burning soon! I called the doc, and they said the ingredients are way too strong and have seen a lot of patients suffer in the same way. Next time, Diflucan pill only! If I ever live to make it to next time."

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 "I had vaginal itching, burning, and my vulva was swollen from a yeast infection. I was just miserable! I went to my local pharmacy and bought Monistat 1 (which I have never used before) because I wanted to get rid of the itchiness and burning as quick as I could. I inserted the ovule, and I did experience some excessive burning for a few hours, but after that, the burning subsided, and now it's been about 10 hours, and I already feel so much better! I would recommend it, and if I ever get another yeast infection, I will buy it again!"

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 "I was so nervous after reading all the horrible reviews about this product, maybe it's just me, or I have a pretty durable vagina because I didn't experience any pain. A little burning, but that's because it's such a high dosage of medicine, I guess. Overall, I liked it, and it worked for me. I'll definitely be buying it again if need be."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "This product made my yeast infection 1 million times worse. It caused extreme chemical burns from my vagina to rectum, which I’ve been treating for over a month. In addition to the chemical burns, there was nerve damage that caused the burning sensation to last for over a month. Do not use this product."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "As everyone else suggests, DO NOT BUY. I’ve been hit by a car, and that pain was less than this medicine. I put it in about two days ago and have been in excruciating pain since then. I can barely walk and have been lying in bed for almost two days straight. This stuff even kickstarted my depression, and I have been crying all day, haven’t been able to eat, can barely pee without the burning making me see stars. The pain is so bad I have almost blacked out. This stuff is awful, will never use again, and it should be OFF THE SHELVES."

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 "This is my first time having a yeast infection, and Monistat 1 is the worst to ever take. Okay, I inserted this ovule last night, and it really burned once the medication started to leak out, so when I woke up, my vagina was huge, and it burned soooooooooo bad. It still hurts, and I am in a lot of pain. I do not recommend this to anyone. This should not be on the market at all. It is too strong, period - I want my vagina back."

I did seem to experience itching that was a tad bit worse than before, but it quickly went away. I had minimal burning, it actually just felt like it was getting warm. I felt relief within hours from the itching. It did remain a little sore for a day or two, but nothing I couldn’t handle."

But I just dealt with it, I went to sleep, and the next morning the swelling and pain were gone. I had a minor burning feeling, but it went away the next day, and now I'm perfectly fine. I recommend it. You're going to go through a little pain, but you get better."
