For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Pretty sure this egg ovule isn't filled with medicine, but a tiny FIRE-BREATHING DRAGON that has hatched and is now spewing its red-hot flames all over the walls of my pink canoe. I feel as if I am straddling an active volcano as it erupts inside of my hoo-ha. My lady bits are the new Pompeii. I'm pretty sure this medicine has turned my bits into a furnace. The only relief from what feels like birthing Satan himself has been waddling over to my freezer and wedging as many ice cubes as possible between my sizzling meat flaps. The pain of this wretched excuse for medicine can only be compared to mistaking a tampon for a stick of dynamite. Best of luck to my fellow yeasties! RIP to our vaginas."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I've had ongoing yeast infection for over 2 months now - I know, it's been too long - but at first I just thought it was dry skin and then I thought it was fungus because I get that sometimes from tanning. Long story short, I went to the clinic, they gave me fluconazole 1 tab, and a vaginal gel to use over 5 days. After these, I got massive cottage cheese (I didn't have it before). The discharge went away after a couple days and I was back at square 1 with dry skin and redness. I used Monistat 1 day treatment last night and slept like a baby - no burning and no discomfort. This morning the redness is mostly gone and dry skin is completely gone. Some of the medicine is coming out with urination but that's normal. I'm very happy with this product."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Once I bought this product I looked up reviews for it afterwards, it greatly discouraged me because it had such poor reviews. I really don't know why, it did exactly what it was supposed to do. In under 24 hours, I was relieved of all symptoms. I would highly recommend this product."

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 "I picked this up at CVS out of sheer desperation after suffering from a yeast infection for quite some time. I had tried clotrimazole and coconut oil in an attempt to resolve it more gradually, but I caved and bought the 1-day. Of course, I looked at reviews after I had inserted it, so mild panic ensued. But! I had a very positive experience, which is what spurred me to write here. I understand if looking at the negative reviews scares you (they scared me too), but all I experienced was a mild warmth, and today all seems completely cleared. Just thought I'd share a more positive spin on a product that truly worked for me."

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 "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 "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 "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 "I developed a yeast infection and didn't want to deal with the 7 days of inserting the medicine, so I tried Monistat 1, and after applying it I read the reviews, and they were HORRIBLE! But do not let them scare you because I had little to no burning at all! Just a mild tingling sensation. In two days, I started to notice relief. Wear a light panty liner for a few days. This product worked extremely for me, it all depends on how it reacts for you! Definitely try it!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I used Monistat 1 on a Tuesday for a yeast infection. I am pleased to say that it is now Friday, and I am 100% better. I had no increase in discharge, if the ovule is placed correctly, then discharge should be minimal. I will warn any users that yeast infections can delay the start of your period based on studies I read. Mine has delayed three days at this point, and the pregnancy test came up negative. Good luck!"

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 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 "This medicine worked perfectly for me. Itching started late one night, so I bought Monistat 1 first thing in the morning. Not even 24 hours later, I was relieved. I had no crazy burning experience or anything...but then again, you may have different results if you wait too long to get the medicine."

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!"

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 "So, I've had a yeast infection for two weeks, thinking it would go away like the last one. I was completely wrong! My sister decided, let's go to the grocery store last night. So, I was all for the trip just to get Monistat. Now, I've tried the 7-day and 3-day. The seven-day made me very uncomfortable, I felt as though ants were down there, but the 3-day just didn't work. I've got a Diflucan, but it didn't clear it. I told myself to give Monistat one more time. I grabbed the 1-day off the shelf, went home, and used it around 9 PM. Oh my gosh, I have seen a complete improvement overnight. Thank you, no more symptoms this morning."

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 "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 "I got a yeast infection for the first time a couple of days ago. So I went to the store and bought Monistat 1. I would absolutely recommend this to any girl. An hour after using the medicine, I felt some leaking and irritation. So I used the cream. Within four hours of using the medicine, I feel a million times better. I will definitely use Monistat if I ever have this problem again."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Okay, the Monistat 1 definitely burns a little, but to me, that just means it's working. I rate this product a 10 because every single time I've used it, my yeast infection goes away within 2 days. The product does its job. Will there be discomfort along the way? Certainly. But what's comforting to know is that after a tad bit of burning, I will be without the even more unbearable itching and undesirable discharge. Everyone is different. Our bodies are all different and respond to things in a variation of ways! I didn't get the extreme burning some experience, but that's just me. There's always going to be horror stories on the internet about any product, but don't believe everything you read. Try things out for yourself, you never know!"
