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 "Skip this product. I’ve had 2 vaginal yeast infections before from taking antibiotics, and AZO Yeast Plus has always worked for me. Well, my pharmacy was out, and they didn’t have Monistat, so I grabbed Tioconazole 1 Day. I did my nightly routine, and right before bed, I inserted the medication (around 10:30 pm). Instantly, I felt burning that wasn’t there before. I brushed it off and went to bed. I woke up at 3:03 am with the worst pain in and out of my vagina. It felt like a shard of glass was stuck in my vagina, preventing me from sitting up correctly. I went to the bathroom after forcing myself up, and I felt okay to lay back down. I woke up this morning at 7 am, and my vagina is literally swollen. This was my first time ever using this product, but I will never buy it again."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "DO NOT USE! Although if you are reading this, I suspect you already have and are now currently experiencing the raging fire from hell in your vagina, accompanied by the painful swelling replicated only by pushing a tiny human out of your vagina. I bought the Monistat brand at full price, so I wasn’t going for the cheap stuff. I didn’t look up reviews first because who would think such a volatile product would exist? I inserted the medication at 11 pm, within minutes I felt the burning, but I left it in and took some sleeping medication, hoping to wake with a bit less discomfort than I’d had the last few days. I WAS SO WRONG! Seriously, I had a child WRECK my vagina during birth, and this pain and swelling are comparable to that. All I can say is that the medication dang well better work because I’m currently sitting in a bath of baking soda and had to cancel all plans for today. RUN. If you were smart enough to look up reviews first."

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."

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 "Inserted this just before bed last night, and when I woke up, my vagina was swollen up to twice its normal size - it literally looked and felt similar to the way it did when I gave birth to my daughter! I could barely walk or stand, and I actually have little red raw spots that I am now convinced are little burns. I used hydrocortisone to combat the horrible symptoms Tioconazole gave me, but I am still feeling really awful. I will NEVER buy this ever again."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "DO NOT USE! Extreme burning. If you do, this is how I got rid of the majority of my symptoms. Luckily, I caught it early. First, sit over the toilet and try to push as much of the Tioconazole out of your vagina as possible using your vaginal canal muscles. Also, lightly wipe up as much of the serum you can with toilet paper, just dab it. Then run a warm bath. Sit in the water and try to flush as much of the ointment out as possible. After doing this several times, rinse off and the symptoms, in my case, were way lower and eventually were not there after an hour. I hope this helps. They should take this item out of stores."

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’m in the third day of this garbage, and I’m about to scream my head off. I only recommend it if you take the first night of the infection. If you take it any time after the infection is underway, welcome to the world of pain. Be prepared for the burn, burn, burn... like a ring of fire, lol. Please ban this from the market. It hurts worse than the infection."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Soooo, one day I happened to get a yeast infection and decided to go to Dollar General and try the brand “Tioconazole” because that was the only brand they had, and I usually get clotrimazole. Anyways, on the box it says it's best to insert it right before bed, and that is what I did. I woke up around 2 am to a swollen, burning sensation. I ran to the bathroom (mind you, I could barely walk, it was so uncomfortable) only to find out my vagina was swollen shut! Please do not use this product! It's best to use clotrimazole! I regret not going to an actual pharmacy. Never again."

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 "I applied it around 1 am, and although I hadn’t experienced any burning before, I immediately felt sharp and severe burning for around 15 minutes. I awoke at 5:30 to a toned-down burning and enormous labia, painfully swollen, 4x their normal size. I’m going to wait it out and hopefully not go to the doctor/ER, but I may have to if the swelling doesn’t go down. I can’t even walk normally. This is an awful product, and I would not take it again."

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 "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 "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 "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 "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 "I purchased the Rite Aid brand 1-day Tioconazole after the Diflucan treatment failed. I'm so glad I did. The day after I applied the medicine, I only experienced a little bit of swelling and burning, which was totally tolerable. After 2 days, the itching had stopped, and all symptoms were gone after 3 days. This will be my go-to OTC med from now on if I ever need to use it again!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Like most here on this website, laying down, itching and burning, trying not to think, so I can ignore it as much as possible. Not as painful as other medications I've tried before. I tried Monistat a couple of months ago, but it didn't do anything, so I'm trying this because it's a stronger treatment. Not unbearable, but most definitely, it burns."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Currently pregnant, and this is my 2nd yeast infection within 7 months. The 1st infection, I did the 5-day treatment with the medicine that begins with M... miconazole? No complaints about that; I just wanted it cleared up quicker than that. After itching and rubbing raw for over a week, I decided to try this 1-day treatment with the active ingredient tioconazole. It’s been about 30 min since I have inserted the medicine, and so far, so good. I was worried about the burning and itching others had experienced, but I feel like I burned and itched more before insertion. Fingers crossed it clears soon!"

(I’ve had them in the past, so I knew what it was right away), and I did NOT experience any of the crazy burning or itching like the other reviews say. But I did have a slight itch after I took it, but nothing unbearable. It took 4 days for my symptoms to be completely gone. I will use this again if I ever need it!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "If you can endure a major constant itch for a few hours, then you’ll be fine. Tioconazole works and will have your symptoms almost gone by the very next day. Yes, once you put it in, it will give you an intense itch. If the product melts and comes down your vagina, yes, it will then burn. I kept my legs propped up right after application so it didn’t burn me. Too bad, but the itching came 10 minutes after application. The itching was so bad that I showered, and it cured the itching. Even with me showering, I still had more product up there. Some did come out in the shower, but not a lot. Just know it works and this product is way better than having to wait to see a doctor and get a script."
