I'm going to give it to your straight! Due to this being a one day treatment, the medicine is MUCH stronger than the three-seven day creams. Therefore, you will experience some major burning sensation, mild itching and some serious leakage. I inserted the oval four hours ago and i'm experience mild burning and the leakage is something serious, so ensure you're wearing some old panties and conforma...

3 weeks ago I purchased the Monistat 1 Day due for symptoms of a yeast infection. I inserted the medicine and used the external cream and decided to take a nap. When I woke up, my insides were on fire. I couldn’t close my legs; there was an intense burning sensation when I urinated. It was very difficult to wash; mild soap and water caused my genitals to burn. I made an emergency called my physici...

HOLY Mary, mother of our sweet savior, I pray to you for intercession please. What do you need? My right leg? My left eyeball? Let me just give you ALL my lady bits, so I never have to live in this burning HELL of misery ever again! I don’t even practice, but I would max every single one of my credit cards to get rid of this burning pain RIGHT NOW! It’s not fair. I literally just had prolapse surgery and was cleared to do all the things again. I’ve been mostly healing, but this ANTI-MIRACLE substance is doing a 180 on the double. Ya girl would wait another six weeks if it meant this hellfire would be quenched with arctic chill tonight. Gawd I hope it works. I get that those malevolent squatters that have taken up residence in my cooch find this too hot to handle… but SO do I!!!!! I took at 7:30pm. It’s now 10pm. If you try this, may the odds be ever in your favor.Read More Read Less

Take this product off the shelves!!!do not use this. I’ve never experienced such agonizing discomfort. I am certain this was approved by a bunch of men and what I would give to have them experience this themselves. Smh this is just wrong.

This was awful. I just had the worse experience with this product. I was fine for an hour and a half, all the sudden it started stinging and itching like crazy. I got up to pee and it felt like my insides and all my bits were on FIRE. I kid you not, one of the WORST pains I have ever felt. Stinging, Burning, oh and then I had to flush it out, which the WATER DID NOT MAKE IT FEEL ANY BETTER. Intense burning almost went on for 45 minutes. I was howling in the bathroom. Now I am sitting on a bag of ice wrapped in a cloth... DO NOT TAKE THIS PRODUCT.Read More Read Less

I'm reading these comments and feeling a little relieved that my symptoms may be expected with 1 day treatment. I had INTENSE burning and itching and was extremely uncomfortable the day I used the 1 day treatment following using the medicine. It's now the 3rd day since I used the 1 day treatment and it came with a little tube of cream to use on vulva for 7 days which I've been using. I'm still having burning of my vulva and I'm significantly more uncomfortable now than I was before I used the product. Is that 2% micanozole cream that comes with the 1 day Monistat treatment supposed to still cause burning and itching too? Because it says it's to help with pain and burning but it has not helped at all, if anything as I said I'm way more uncomfortable now than before treatment. On day 3. The pain is constant not just when I use the cream and it's so bad I have been avoiding urinating since using this treatment unless I can't stand it anymore because peeing makes the pain and burning SEVERE, so bad I'm whimpering and tears come to my eyes when I pee. And it takes 30 minutes for the burning to subside back to the moderate burning that's constant. Is this normal? Google says to see a doctor after a week of treatment if you're not better but I'm on day 3 since beginning treatment and I'm so uncomfortable 24/7 I don't know if I can stand it for 4 more days. Is this normal or am I reacting more sensitively than most people? Read More Read Less

Oh my lawd!!! I will be the first to say I have done some pretty stu**d things in my life BUT THIS ohhhhhhh this takes the cake, the whole darn bakery and the neighboring businesses along with it. I do not know what sins I could have committed to deserve such agony. Similar to everyone else made the executive decision that I did not want this YI ruining my vacation (yup you read it right I am on vacation) so I skipped on over to the nearest pharmacy and purchased the fire ball from hell (in egg version) I inserted it at about 9:30pm and was woke up at 2am by what felt like my cooter had been placed on a grill and set on fire to provide a medium well finish. I tried to fall asleep but that was to no avail, OBVIOUSLY! Thanking my lucky stars I found this thread. Now I am sitting in the tub contemplating my life’s choices, laughing like a crazy person at 2:30am. I have learned my lesson and I repent for any wrong doing I’ve done. Now, not ruining my vacation is the last of my worries! I just want the fire from hell to stop. I am contemplating going to the ER and requesting, DEMANDING they sedate me for the next 3-5 business days! Read More Read Less

I was given Augmentin for a sinus infection and from experience informed my doctor I would need a back-up diflucan. Of course, doc informed me to call them if YI symptoms occur. Upon making the call I was informed to discuss it at my appointment tomorrow…”Hello, do you know what 1 more day could mean?” So I picked up Monistat 1 day or night ovule for quick relief. Inserted at 630p. By 9p the ovule dissolved and the fire started along with itching and throbbing. My first thought was “how the he** do I get this out of me before my cooter bursts into flames”. Thank heavens I found this thread. The last half hour was more bearable reading all of the detailed comments, some making me burst out laughing instead of crying. Although it’s not really funny that so many woman have to experience feeling like a blow torch is brazing their lady parts it kept my mind occupied and gave me a bit of assurance that what I was experiencing was common. I can’t say I will leave my physicians office again without insisting I have the order for the back-up diflucan. This will be a one and done experience for me.Read More Read Less

Im 16 years old. This is my first yeast infection ive got(im not sure how i got it, im not sexually active and i shower regularly). I didnt know what it was at first until i looked it up and i had all the signs for a yeast infection. First i tried some home remedies, but they were taking to long to work. So my mom told me about monistat, i wanted to use the 7 day treatment because i didnt kno how my body would react to the 3 day or the 1 day. My mom got me the one day anyway. I used it right before i went to sleep,so i can lay dowm down like the directions said. I went to sleep pretty fine. I woke up at 4am and i felt like i was lit of fire. It burned and itches horribly i was crying for hours amd i tired everything to make it stop. NOTHING WORKED. I missed school because of it. I was awake untill about 2pm and i woke uo 2 hours later. The pain and itch was very mild so i was able to handle it, about 5 minutes later it hurt and itched horribly again. I couldn't move and all i did was cry. Nothing stopped the itch and pain at all. Now it's been about 21 hours since i first used the Monistat day 1 treatment and the burn is gone(for now) but the itch is still here. I genuinely do not recommend this product to anyone at all.

I've used Monistat with no problem before but here I sit and it burns burns burns. I inserted at 9:30pm and was awoken at 1:30am with the most intense burning inside. I thought something was seriously seriously wrong but after reading other reviews I don't think I'm in any danger but man is this uncomfortable

A bomb just went off inside my vagina. I don’t know how else to describe it. I inserted the ovule 30 min ago and now I am laying down waiting for the burn to subside…still waiting…hopefully that burn means it’s killing the yeast infection. This is definitely one of those times where I can’t help but think how much easier men have it.

I thank god I didn’t have the extreme pain that others have experienced in these reviews. I believe that could be because I didn’t have that bad of an infection maybe? But it still felt slight itching, burning/stabbing feeling, and the entrance of my vagina hole was swollen. After feeling the discomfort and reading the reviews I went to shower it off, but I didn’t feel the ball inside of me anymore. Idk if it leaked out or if it’s still in there somewhere lol. I will just go for a pill next time which was recommended in the reviews by others instead. Read More Read Less

The last time I had yeast infection was in 2009. I got it from taking bubble baths not knowing I was allergic to the soap I was using. Fast forward here in 2023 in late December. I was taking a shower and I forgot my dove unscented soap on my truck. PS I’m a truck driver. I decided to wash my private area with some body wash. And in the back of my head I said I’m going to get a yeast infection. A couple days later I saw yellow discharge. There was no itching and no order. So yes I knew it was a yeast infection. It wasn’t a severe one where it look like cottage cheese. So, when I finally had the time to go shopping, I purchase Monistat 1. I got the 1 instead of the 3 and the 7 because my period is about to come and I feel very uncomfortable inserting anything why my vagina is trying to get cleansed out. Prior to my purchase I did read the reviews . I I saw a lot of people being uncomfortable while using this medication. Today is January 7 I did take it yesterday. It took about 20 minutes for the reactions to kick in. Now the way I describe the chemical reaction in my vaginal area. I was working I did take it around 1:00 PM and it felt like a tingling ticklish sensation at first then I felt it was particles inside my vagina. I would not describe it burning I would not describe it as a cooling feeling either. I just knew something was present in my vagina, but the thing that bothered me the most what’s the tickling feeling because the tickling make you want to grab your vagina and stop whatever tickling you. I did not scratch it because it was not itching and it wasn’t hurting. It was a slight discomfort where I was moving around to stop tickling. It lasted no more than 30 minutes. Now before taking this, I was wearing a sanitary napkin because my discharge was all day. So of course I put another sanitary napkin on when I took the Monistat 1. Because commonsense will tell you this thing is not going to disappear and your vagina. It Has to come out and the egg shape medication is pretty thick. I wish I could show pictures because now I’m looking into my panties and I don’t see any Yeast. Read More Read Less

Hey, just another victim that didn’t read the reviews. I’m currently laying with my cooch towards the fan, so mad at myself for even doing this. I didn’t even feel this much discomfort from my actual yeast infection. Never doing this again. The oral treatment is way better. Definitely worth the doctors visit. Don’t put yourself through this.

I am so glad that I looked at these reviews because they have helped ease my mind 100%. About an hour after I put the molten lava egg up my cooter, nearly unbearable burning came as if I was a volcano erupting as the medicine was exiting. I was freaking out until I found these comedic reviews, personally I would recommend a warm bath and to sit and read these reviews. Helps you get your mind off of it and make you see you’re not alone! Take a deep breath you got it!

As others have said HORRIBLE. the first time I purchased this I never read reviews and thought I had the worst YI ever as I had to buy an additional tube of vagasil itch cream. Well here we are again- on antibiotics and the trusty YI is also here. Bought this and yup same experience as last time. My vagina is on FIRE. Currently laying with my vag pointed at a fan at the end of December which slightly helps. Glad to see it was not only me. Definitely cures the infection you just have a horribly itchy vagina for days (mine didn’t even itch with the YI)Read More Read Less

Definitely lay down after use and i lates down for about an hour, but the leakage was the worst part, at first it just felt weird and i could feel it inside me but after a bit it turned into a slight slight burning sensation. but not bad at all definitely worth it.

Thank god I found you ladies here. Reading all of these identical reviews has been a great distraction and some comedic relief during the last hour of pure hell. Everything they say is true. The treatment is worse than the actual infection. A man definitely created it, and another man at the FDA gave it the seal of approval. Then the third stooge wrote “mild” burning and itching on the box. I inserted the egg at 10 pm and was woken up at 2:00 (it’s now 2:57 and I’m able to type but still very uncomfortable). It’s agonizing itching followed by a burning sensation from the gates of hell. Someone said it feels like 100 fire ants in your vag. Correct. Somebody somewhere needs to pull this product from the shelves. Can y’all imagine if men had to take a medication like this? There would have been a class action suit by now. The little egg bomb literally wakes us all in agony at 2 am and we’re supposed to function at work/home/family life the next day? The only upside has been finding this common thread. It better actually get rid of the YI or I’m gonna be extra pissed!Read More Read Less

i 31F am 38 weeks pregnant. my symptoms were clumpy cottage cheese discharge with no burn, itch, discoloration and or smell. i heard about this medicine through google and i figured since i was already so close to my due date i would give this medicine a go. i inserted the egg shaped pill at night before bed and within a few hours i woke from my sleep experiencing extreme itching. so i applied a dime size amount of cream that came with the monistat for relief which brought the itching to a more tolerable discomfort. then went to the bathroom 3 times and each time i passed urine, i noticed there was mild burning which was not a symptom i had before i inserted the egg shaped pill. i assumed that the medicine was working since this was my first time ive had a yeast infection and decided to tough it out for a least three more days. the second night i experienced severe discharge along with burning and itching. i then took a bath to try and calm myself from this medication i thought would relieve all symptoms in one day. after the bath i applied more of the cream that came along with the monistat on the outside of my area until again the symptoms were tolerable. the third night i was still experiencing discharge but the burning, swelling and itching had eased. i took another bath so the discharge was less messy. the morning of the 4th day i did not have any burning, swelling, itching or discharge and decided to tell my midwife i was under the impression i had a yeast infection… the midwife told me to not use one day treatment because the dosage is so concentrated and it’s always best to use the 7 day treatment. it is now day 6 after using the monistat 1 and i don’t think ill ever use it again or recommend anyone to use it. im not even sure why it is sold at anyone’s convenience.

WHAT IS THIS!? About 4 hours ago I used this...stuff...to help treat a YI. Everything was fine and dandy until about an hour ago when I abruptly felt the urge to itch my lady bits. It all fell apart from there because this UNGODLY burning followed closely behind. That seemingly innocent itch led to me swiftly waddling my way to the bathtub where I have remained for the past 30 minutes. I am writing this review to warn all of the unsuspecting victims. If you dont like the feeling of straight GHOST PEPPERS inside your vagina, please be cautious. I will continue to pray for your souls daily. As for me, I am waiting for the good father above to take me home because ..LORD.. I have entered the gates of hell. Good luck to you ladies. You are going to need it!!Read More Read Less
