For Vaginal Yeast Infection "This is my second time buying Tioconazole. The yeast infection only came back because I took a course of antibiotics, the first time it went away completely for a good while. Tioconazole burns and itches, trust me, I know, but that just means that it’s working. The more severe your infection is, the more it burns. It’s going to feel like you just inserted hot sauce into your kitty. Again, I feel the unbearable burning and itching, but the long-run results are worth it."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Yes, itching and burning after use, but nothing I couldn't tolerate. Woke up in the middle of the night to pee, and I'm good. No burning or itching, I'm sure it is doing its job. I'm thinking the ones who are experiencing those horrible symptoms had infections that were more advanced! I will definitely use this product again."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "If you’re like me and used this product before reading the reviews, just know, you may also like to ready an ice pack and an anti-inflammatory of some kind! I’m about 6 hours in and I’m pretty sure there is a tiny flamethrower inside the applicator. I read the instructions and it clearly states that remaining product can be applied to the outer parts, but unless you’re into pain, don’t do that. My lady bits started throbbing from the pain and now they have been renamed my no-no place!! It’s swollen and itchy and 12x worse than when I began this horrid road to recovery. I have faith in my who-ha that she will bounce back, but of all the beatings she’s taken over the years, this one’s got to be the worst few hours in her history."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "As a husband, I beg of you. Do not use this product. My wife is literally sitting in her bathtub, hunched over in pain and a few tears. You will absolutely regret using this product. This product burns, itches, and it's all around unbearable to watch, let alone endure."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "This is the best and most effective product I've used. I've had yeast infections before, and it takes about a week to be fully recovered. But Monistat 1 day is awesome. I would suggest doing this before bed, there will be leakage for the next few days, so a panty liner or pad is suggested. I didn't experience the burning sensation. I applied the ovule at 6:30 pm one evening before showering, the next day, I woke up, my itch was gone, and by 6:30 am, my yeast infection was clear. Still leakage, but less... the 2nd day it was very little to none. So it does work in 1 day. Love it!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "The only thing getting me through the most painful, burning, itching I've ever felt down there is reading these comments. But laughing makes it burn and itch more. I'm in hour 2 and looking for Benadryl. I can only find kids' liquid formula in my house, and I'm seriously considering making myself a cocktail of that and whiskey. I'm pretty sure this stuff was concocted by the military to make the enemy talk. 'If you don't tell us, you're getting a dose of Monistat 1. The EGG.'"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "If you’re reading this, chances are you're already having an adverse reaction to this medication. I inserted it at 9 pm and woke up at 2 am with intense pain, swelling, and itching. I didn’t see any comments with advice on managing this, so I thought I would post what I did. I took a dose of Benadryl, ibuprofen, and put a pillow between my legs to keep them apart. By 9 am, the pain was gone, and I believe my yeast infection symptoms went with it. So in the end, I guess it worked, but it was so not worth it."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I got a vaginal yeast infection, and after literally scratching my skin raw, I decided to buy this. I kind of always go for the generic brands anyways. I was so scared after reading all the reviews, but I’m glad I tried it. The only thing I felt was very little itching for like an hour, but nothing I couldn’t handle, then after like 3-4 hours, I felt symptoms start to get better. I put it in last night around 7:30 pm, and now it’s 7 am, and I feel totally fine. I guess others had a little worse of an infection because I feel good. I would definitely buy again."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I was nervous about using the one-day Monistat because of all the negative reviews I read, but you have to remember that everyone reacts differently to everything, so keep that in mind! I used it before I went to bed, and I felt some burning about 15-20 minutes after I did it, but that only lasted about an hour, and it wasn't intense or anything ridiculously uncomfortable at all. I woke up to take my morning bathroom trip, and I didn't feel any of my normal burning or itching when I went pee, so needless to say, it does work! I still feel a little itchy, but it doesn't burn or irritate me like before, and I didn't expect it to cure me completely in one day. I suggest wearing a pad because of the leaking!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Let me tell you this stuff is not for the weak! My hot pocket was on fire about 30-45 mins after I inserted that devil stick in me. I really think it made me worse because now it hurts to even put my underwear on. Definitely going with the 3-day cream next time. I've never felt a burn and itch so bad in my life. My hot pocket is literally swollen. Also, the medicine ran out of me like ginger ale and Alka-Seltzer's had got together in there and had a party."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Lol, don't be such babies. Men are supposed to act like babies. Yes, the stuff burns and itches with the medicine. It's supposed to. It's destroying the fungus, lol. The product works, and it didn't burn and itch for that long. Like I read on one review... We are women, crap happens to us and worse stuff than a yeast infection. Toughen up. Buy the product."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I've just used the Monistat 1-Day last night at about 11:30 pm. Some of it came out during my morning bathroom visit, but there's quite a bit left. I even took a shower after the suggested 9-12 hours. I don't feel all the way well just yet, but I haven't experienced the extreme burning or itching side effects that a lot of people are so upset about. The only way this one-day thing can work is if you actively keep up on your health and sugar intake while the medicine does its work. Take Azo so you don't have to worry about going to the bathroom, and do in fact GO to the bathroom when and as soon as you need to. Wipe front to back and wash BEFORE SEX, not just after."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Monistat 1 Day treatment worked for me. Burned and itched for about 4-5 hours when first applied. Drained mostly out for about 3 days after usage. Sometimes it will not drain all the way out, lightly douche with water only to clear the rest if not cleared completely by day 4. Most will clear itself though. No sex during this process. Try to wait until day 5 or until Monistat completely drains from the vagina. Overall, good product. Any Monistat will do the trick for a yeast infection, whether it's the 1 day, 3 day, or 7 day."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I do NOT recommend. I wish I would have read reviews beforehand. I’m highly upset I wasted time on this product. I didn’t experience any burning or extreme itching when I put it in, but I did wake up to a severely swollen vagina, and now it hurts to do anything. I’m so uncomfortable and can hardly sit down. I regret trying this and not just sticking with the Monistat 1."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "From reading the comments and after using this Tioconazole product myself. I think that maybe some yeast infections are worse than others because this is working great for me. The first time I got a yeast infection, I didn’t use anything and ended up in the ER because my symptoms sounded like a lot of symptoms here. I was swollen to where I couldn’t function properly and experienced burning and itching. But this second time around, I caught it within a few days and bought Tioconazole 1 Day and haven’t had problems yet."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I had gone to the doctor already and was given a one-time use pill for a yeast infection, plus antibiotics for a urinary tract infection. The itching and burning continued despite these medicines. I bought this product and decided to try it even after reading the negative reviews. I was desperate and already in the midst of extreme itching and pain, so I used it at 1 a.m. when I woke up again due to the irritation. Once I inserted it, I felt immediate relief, and I do mean immediate. I don't understand the negative reviews, maybe each person's body reacts differently, but I would highly recommend this product."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Today I noticed some creamy discharge with white specs that appeared yeasty to me by the eye. So I bought this 1-day tioconazole. Shortly after, literally maybe 5-10 minutes after insertion, I felt some itching and a warmer feeling inside my vagina. THEN and only then did I read the reviews. Everyone is saying they have lots of burning, itching, and swollen lady parts. I really hope that doesn’t happen to me, seeing as though I wasn’t all the way sure of the symptom I noticed earlier in the day. Not sure if I should go push this medication out over the toilet like everyone says. But I am afraid I’ll wake up with a swollen vagina like the others. I’ll update soon..."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Never. Ever. Again. I inserted at about 6:45 pm and went on about my nightly routine. Around 8:30 I had some leak out and noticed a really bad itching, burning, stinging sensation immediately. Brought me to tears and thought about going to the ER... it's that bad. I took a warm oatmeal bath, which soothed it a little. I'm now lying in bed with an ice pack on my lady parts, still stings. I'm 2 hours into this fiery experience."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Well, as you will read, this product was the WORST. Five minutes after inserting the egg, it began to slowly tingle, which turned into an itch that turned into an intense burn. I sat in the toilet for a solid hour before the burn went away, and I think it's because the pain was so bad I was numb down there. LOL But I rated it a 5 because after that hour the pain was about a 1/10, and I didn’t feel itchy at all, and a day later I believe my YI was completely cleared up. I only recommend you use this item if you can push through some pain. Try taking something that will put you to sleep 30 minutes before inserting the egg. Also, not going to lie, reading these reviews helped a lot to ease the pain. God be with us all. LOL"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I had a horrible infection-itching, burning, swelling. So I picked up Monistat 1 at the drugstore and inserted it as soon as I came home. The cooling wipes that come with it are a lifesaver. After about 8 hours, I felt a fairly large discharge-assuming that the medicine needs to escape somehow. I felt much less itchy the next day, and my swelling went down 100%. However, I am on day 3, and while my painful/uncomfortable infection symptoms have completely subsided, I am still discharging quite a bit (well, a LOT actually). I'm hoping this is normal, but I may see a doctor if this persists tomorrow."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Omg!!!! My Na Na is on fire... I almost want to take a brush to it, how bad it itches. Here I am thinking I'm going to get some relief after inserting the ovule when the itching and burning increases times 100000000... I almost began to think maybe it's more than a yeast infection but couldn't be because I haven't had sex in years. I'm burning like a Hot Cheeto. They should take this product off the market... it really sucks. Now I'm up during the middle of the night burning and writing this!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I got my first yeast infection when I was 16. My mom went and bought me Monistat 7, and it worked great. I felt better within a day. About two months ago, I got the symptoms of a yeast infection, but without the discharge. Unsure of what I had, I went and bought Monistat 7 again, and it burned and itched worse than anything I've felt. I bawled my eyes out, and it didn't stop for hours. I continued to take it for 2 more nights with the same symptoms and then went to the gyno that Monday. Turns out I had a bacterial infection, and that is why it was burning so horribly. If it burns you to the point where you are in tears, GO TO THE DOCTOR! It is probably not a yeast infection!"
