For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I had never had a yeast infection in my life until two days ago. I decided that I would try Monistat 1 because I wanted it gone quickly. I went to the store the morning after symptoms started, and I inserted the ovule around 11 a.m. and applied the cream. I took a nap for a couple of hours and could already feel some relief from the itching and burning. When I got up, I did feel some slight leaking, and I still felt a little discomfort, but it was nowhere near what it was earlier that day. I was getting some discharge and a little itching, but nothing major. By bedtime, the itching had gotten a little worse, so I applied more cream, took some Aleve, and crawled into bed. I got up this morning, and all itching and burning are gone. All in less than 24 hours."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Do not put this thing anywhere near your vagina! All of the stuff you hear about the probiotics in the yogurt on the tampons-do that first, or go to the doctor and get the prescription for the yeast infection! I am sitting in my house so uncomfortable that I had to call off of work because I cannot leave my house because my vag itches and burns so bad. I want to go to the store and get yogurt, but I can't stop itching my crotch, so that's a problem. I am so uncomfortable, and before I put this thing in, I was fine. Before Monistat, I had mild irritation. Since I used the Monistat, I am now experiencing the worst itching and burning feeling I've ever had between my legs ever!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Ok, so just inserted Tioconazole about 20 min ago. Then decided to read all these reviews. So should have looked at this first. SMH. I'm itching like crazy, my lady parts are throbbing like crazy. Will never use this again. If you're smart and read reviews before you do this, you will be better off. This is my 2nd YI in my 35 years - it wasn't even that bad, this will make it feel 10x worse, trust me. I can actually feel her growing bigger. I plan to try and push it all out NOW. If you're like me, I would get it out now and hope for the best."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Had an irritating yeast infection for a few days with terrible itching. Decided to make a doctor's appointment for the next morning, but figured I would try Monistat 1 in the meantime. Put the egg in at 5:30 pm. Didn't feel much for 3 hours. Became slightly itchy around 9:30 pm, but it was definitely bearable and nothing compared to how I had felt the previous days due to the yeast infection. Had discharge (mostly medicine), definitely recommend wearing a pad to bed that night and a little bit the next day as well. Within 24 hours, my yeast infection was gone, and I was feeling good as new! These reviews all scared me quite a lot, but I am very relieved none of the horrible burning or itching happened to me. Would definitely use Monistat 1 again!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "This product is horrible! Do not use, go to your doctor, I am not kidding! The burning and itching associated with the use of this product are unbearable! I'd rather have a YI untreated than use this again. I have had 3 YI in my 36 years and have always gone to my doctor. Almost immediately after inserting this product, I began to feel discomfort, not so bad, but as the night has gone on - this is awful. My vagina itches so badly that it's unbearable. I don't feel pain as some have reviewed, but the itching is literally insane! All I can hope is that this goes away soon. Do not use!!! You will regret!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Well, I was kind of skeptical about using the product because of some of the bad reviews. I decided to give it a try anyway, and I did not experience any of those symptoms. I inserted it last night after showering. No burning, no swelling, and barely itching. I woke up the next morning, and still no bad symptoms. Everything is coming out just fine to me. I use the off-brand kind too, by the way."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "First off, I must say, 'do not be afraid of this product!' It does burn and itch, but it's not as bad as some describe. I was able to work all day after I inserted it. When the burning got bad, I just went to the bathroom during my break times and used the cream and wipes. Any medicine at prescribed strength form inserted into you is going to hurt. We as women do so much to our bodies, and this is nothing compared to a lot of these things that are a necessity to our health!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "So I realized how people never come back to say if the product actually worked or not. Well, I'm here to tell you it does. I used this product about a week ago and came here to write a horrible review on how irritated, sore, raw, burning, and itchy I was from it. I started feeling these side effects about 1 hour after I put the hellish egg in me. After about 2 days, the symptoms went away and fully healed my YI. I am completely back to normal. Bottom line is the product DOES work and can heal your symptoms fully within 48 hours...only if you're up for the painful side effects. Honestly, if I had the option to use this again, I probably would because it works CRAZY fast."

"I’m only about 5 hours into this Monistat 1 experience, and at this point, I don’t even care if it works. Nothing is worth this burn. My poor coochie feels like what I can only imagine as the depths of hell. Hot lava-level pain. I read the entire pamphlet, and this was not a warning, and after seeing all these reviews of other women experiencing the same, it DEFINITELY should be! If you are considering buying this product, do not do it! It’s not worth the risk. I’m sitting here at 5 a.m. typing this review because the pain is keeping me awake. I have survived second-degree burns on my entire hand before, and this is nearly comparable to that, but there is literally nothing I can do about this one except wait it out. The anti-itch cream that came with it is worthless and does nothing for me. If you are reading this because you just used the product and are starting to realize something is off, Godspeed to you, sister. I wish you luck."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "So I'm very prone to yeast infections and UTIs, so this is not new for me. I knew the signs and symptoms of my yeast infection: itching, a lot of discomfort, and thick, creamy discharge. I waited it out a couple of days because sometimes when they're mild, they'll go away on their own, but I couldn't handle the discomfort. So luckily, I had Monistat 1 at home, so I popped it in, and it's been almost 4 hours, and I'm feeling amazing. So I guess you're supposed to take this before bed? But I used it at 7:45 AM because I didn't want to be uncomfortable this whole day. I've heard horrible stories about Monistat 1 and amazing ones as well, it just depends on your body and how it reacts to the medicine. Not everyone feels results as quickly as me! Don't panic!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Worst thing I ever used in my life. DO NOT USE. I’ve always done the 3-day. Never this. Didn’t read reviews and SO wish I did. I had some white clumpy discharge and very mild itching. So wanted to just knock it out and got this. Worst mistake of my life. I had some burning, nothing too crazy, then some itching, really irritating more than even before. Then I woke up and my vagina is swollen and just blah. So horrible. And it had to be because of this. Because it was not swollen, itching, or burning prior. I’m so mad I did this. Save yourself, ladies. Please don’t use."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I had a cute review to post, but Drugs.com believes in cutting to the chase, so okay. So, had a yeast infection for quite some time (about 3 weeks... yikes!), not my first one though. So on July 5th, I bought Monistat 1, busted open the lifesaver and got busy. The applicator was easy to slide in and apply. I also used the cream to ease the itching... nah. 2 hours later, I went to class and almost had a freakin' panic attack because the burning and itching intensified like none other. Oh my goodness, cool wipes were a waste, I was better off using Vagisil's anti-itch wipes... cooch was on fire! However, after all the pain, the kit worked. No more symptoms after July 8th. Would be nice to have a warning saying all this, but it was worth it to be honest."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Guys, I so wish I would’ve looked up the reviews earlier. I went the cheaper route and just got Tioconazole 1 Day because the lady at Walmart said it would work the same as Monistat. I’m having the worst burning and itching sensation ever. I googled why and found all these reviews :( Save yourself!! I know everyone is different, but if the majority of women are feeling this, don’t waste your time. Spend the extra $5."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Never again!!! Only 2nd yeast infection ever, so I thought I'd give Monistat 1 a try. Holy moly, I have never felt such intense burning, itching, and swelling. Finally took a shower to wash away what I could, then had to use an ice pack. Up all night, so painful! They need to repackage with labeling and visuals of flames shooting from the nether region!!!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Please just get the diflu one-time pill. This egg made me cry for hours, I cussed my girlfriend out while itching and burning. I felt like life would be better if I just died. It started to ease up after a few hours, but the itch never went away. Oh, and the cream that comes with it... don't even try to use that! It makes EVERYTHING worse. It only sucks because some people either don't have insurance or this life-ruining infection creeps up on the weekend when you can't go to your OB/GYN. Females should be able to get the pill from the pharmacy just as well as they can get a Plan B because these creams and eggs are a setup."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "This is the first review I've left on anything ever because I think as girls, it's important we have each other's backs on things like this. FIRST. When you take this, be sure to have a bottle of wine ready and some serious distraction. Don't think you can just pop it in and feel better in a few hours. This thing will burn and itch like the devil himself is inside of you, BUT. You're putting something in you that's expected to treat you overnight that is really supposed to be a span of 7-10 days. That's a whole lot of chemicals in your already sensitive lady parts. So it will burn and itch like hell, and I wouldn't recommend it if you have a low pain tolerance. But if you can open a bottle of wine and clean your house, promise it works!!!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "This is the worst pain I have ever experienced. I can imagine only giving birth being worse. I had itching and burning that was very uncomfortable but tolerable before the Monistat 1. After the Monistat 1, the pain became so bad that I had to consciously breathe to keep myself from losing my temper. I went to the ob-gyn, and when she tested me, it hurt so bad that I actually cried... It would not have been that bad without the Monistat. She did explain that the yeast can create little cuts basically, and when you put the cream in there, it can cause burning. Just like putting alcohol on a cut... So that's the explanation for it, and it doesn't make me angry with Monistat. I'm just ready for this to be gone..."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Ok, so I bought this tonight before I read reviews. I applied it, and 10 min later, I was in pain... I couldn't believe the itching and burning. I then started reading reviews, and I was like - what did I do? I was debating taking a shower and removing all cream or sticking it out while I did some research and watched Netflix. Well, after 40 min, I started to feel relief, and now it's very mild. Clearly, the medication for 1 day is way stronger, but I'm hoping that by tomorrow morning, I'll be much better. Now that the burning stopped, I can go to sleep. Ladies, good luck, and hope you feel better soon."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I have used Monistat 1 about a year ago and a few more times before, it worked great, relief within 24 hours. My current experience is a complete 180. The burning and itching are unbearable. I can't imagine what the makers have done differently, they need to go back to the original formula, which worked fine. I wish I had used the 3-day or just gone to the doctor. It's bedtime, but the pain is keeping me awake. I will never purchase again!!!!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "NO. Do not take this, ladies! Unless you want burning, itching, swollen lady parts, that is. I applied this as I laid down to sleep, just like I would with Monistat 7, but immediately felt the fires of hell erupting inside and out of the last place any sane person would pick to feel it. Finally got to sleep after splashing with cold water and laying down naked from the waist down, only to feel more (less intense) burning when I woke up again at 1:15 in the morning. If it's too late for you, the best remedy seems to be a cool bath. Heaven help us all. If it's not too late for you, JUST SAY NO. This drug should NOT be on the shelves! Really, FDA??!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Developed my first YI the other day when I was on antibiotics. Obviously, the first thing I did was Google my symptoms, which led me to find out it was a YI. This led me to a link for Monistat 1, and let me tell you, most of the reviews scared the crap out of me. This is my first time with a YI, and the last thing I wanted to do was make it worse. I didn't want to take more time off of work to go back to the doctors, and I wanted relief, and fast. Among the bad reviews, there were still good ones, so I listened to those instead and just went for it with the Monistat 1 Ovule. The itching ended up getting worse at first, but then went away completely, and the next day I was completely fine. This stuff is magic! Suck it up, buttercup, and just do it."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "So, like everyone else, I didn’t read the reviews. I inserted the medication and realized I had more itching than before, I also noticed the burning a lot more. To make matters worse, I used the cream for the external area, and I think I made it worse!!! I was trying to save a few dollars, never again. The pain isn’t the worst, but the itching is absolutely horrible."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "So I developed a YI from a steam room, I believe. I have gotten a few of them recently. I've taken the Monistat 1 day treatment with the 'evil egg,' and that made it unbearable - worst experience ever. I just sat in the tub and cried a little, lol. So when I developed another YI, I went to my doctor because I did not want to go through that again. She recommended the prefilled applicator 6.5 - THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE MONISTAT 1 CAPSULE... the itchiness is very mild and not nearly as gooey. BUY MONISTAT 1 PREFILLED 6.5 -- DO NOT BUY THE CAPSULE MONISTAT 1. The 6.5 is quick relief and doesn't torture your 'who-ha.' Best of luck, ladies!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "This was my second YI. The first time, I used the 3-day but stopped after day 2 because I felt so much better. So this time, I decided to go with the 1-day to get it over with. I put it in right before bed and then, like so many others, read these terrible reviews. I braced myself for the worst and went to bed. I honestly didn't sleep very well because I was expecting to wake up in pain. But I didn't. No burning, minimal itching. I peed twice in the middle of the night and made sure to wipe back to front. My only complaint would be the discharge, though it's to be expected. Just used a panty liner and no big deal. Woke up in the morning, took a shower, and used the wipes, and I feel no symptoms. I think it's trial and error but no complaints from me."
