User Reviews for Monistat 1 Combo Pack vaginal

I'm really, really surprised that the Monistat 1 treatment actually worked so well for me. Usually I'm the one writing reviews about my skin burning (my skin and--ahem--delicate parts are incredibly sensitive to just about everything). I know if I'd read the reviews before I bought it, I'd never have tried it. My symptoms started Friday evening (after my doctor's office had closed for the weekend! Horrible timing!), and I was kind of excited that an OTC option was available. The itching and burning was awful, and I couldn't stand the yeasty smell. When I got home, I read and followed the instructions and was surprised at how easy it was (I'm usually a bit clumsy and half expected that I'd somehow manage to shoot the weird mini egg shaped thing across the room with the applicator). After disposing of the applicator, I applied the cream and sat back to see if there would be any difference or discomfort. It didn't take long for the insert to dissolve (and there's only one direction for it to come out so be prepared for a flushing feeling), and once it did, I actually felt less itchy and uncomfortable. A few hours later when I went to the bathroom, I was way too ecstatic that the yeast smell had gone almost completely (seriously, it's embarrassing how excited I was). By the next day, I didn't have any discharge or yeast smell, and over the next two days my symptoms continued to improve. By the fourth day the burning was gone, and (though I wish it went away a little faster!) the itching stopped a day or so after that. The cream was definitely helpful throughout, but it didn't always take all of the itching away. Again, it's kind of a surprise for me that it actually worked and didn't hurt, which I think is why I wanted to share my experience. Even though I'm very happy with the product, I think every woman's body is different. If you have any doubts, definitely talk to your doctor first! :)Read More Read Less

Took about 36 hours (1.5 days) before I felt any healing start, but it worked great in the end! By 2.5 days in, I was feeling 90% better, but still needed to use cream for minor symptoms like sensitivity and mild itch. Fast forward to the 6-day mark, I no longer have discharge. So, the instructions say 3-7 days: that’s true to what I experienced. If you want to read more of a breakdown, here it is. On the first day, I put the ovule in before bed and used the external cream; slept fine; the next morning was difficult. Almost felt like I couldn’t go to work, the irritated, raw, sometimes burning feeling was so uncomfortable. I wanted to whimper every time I shifted in my chair. However, I had enough to manage the symptoms. I used pads and pantyliners, cotton brief undies (put away my thongs!), and plenty of cream to help the external irritation. I “changed” myself each time I used the bathroom (washed my hands like crazy) and made it through one tough day at work. Continued to see a lot of discharge until almost 3 days in, and then it decreased steadily until going away around the 6-day mark. Also, I don’t recommend anything sexual until you’ve gone at least a full week; your area is still sensitive and could easily get reinfected. Just a caution!Read More Read Less

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 conformable bottoms. If you're able to sustain the burning you'll be fine.

I have not experienced any burning as others stated. However The first few hours itch seemed worst but by the next day a lot better. Problem is - three days later and I am still having symptoms of yeast infecton. yes I an sure that is what I have - 3 rounds of antibiotics and bam!

I HAVE USED M0NISTAT1 COMBO PACK 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 5 YEARS FOR YEAST INFECTIONS AND HAVE ALWAYS HAD IMMEDIATE RELIEF. MUCH MORE CONVENIENT THAN THE 3 AND 7 DAY APPLICATIONS.

I did not have the initial reactions many others have had. I had relief- but here I am about 3 days later and headed back to the store for gynelotrimin. I will NOT use this product again as it is ineffective.

Choosing the 1 day treatment for convenience turned out to be a BIG MISTAKE! At first the YI seemed to clear up but on day 3 I started feeling sick (sore throat, generally malaise) and the burning seemed to have come back. On day 5 I woke with my heart racing and found that I had a full on rash on my arms, chest, face, and some on my stomach. Immediately took some Benadryl which helped but I had to continue taking for the next two days. Full on diarrhea also started on day 5 and today, on day 7, is still holding on along with occasional mild cramps. Rash and burning down there has cleared. This is clearly too strong. I used the 7 day version many years ago with no problems.Read More Read Less

I found that I had ALL the symptoms of a yeast infection and went over to the store to grab a monistat 1, after inserting it I felt absolutely nothing. I currently have a small stinging sensation down there but nothing as major as some if the other reviews. still waiting to see how this all turns out but the cream doesn't seem to work to well.

OMG, I WISH I WOULD HAVE THESE REVIEWS FIRST. MY VAGINA FEEL LIKE FIREWORKS ARE EXPLODING IN THE INSIDE. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THE USE OF THIS PRODUCT. I AM USING COLD TOWEL NOW TO CUT DOWN ON THE ITCHING. I WIPED AS MUCH OF IT OUT AS I COULD, BUT A COOL BATH IS ON THE WAY. I CAN ATTEST THAT THIS PRODUCT MADE ME WORST.

after taking 10 days of antibiotics I came up with a yeast infection. sigh! Tried the monistat 1, had more horrible symptoms than I had before. calling doctor in the am.

Monistat 1made it WORST. It burned my vagina and clitoris..my 1st mind told me to use the 7 day treatment..as u c I didnt. I ended up using the 7 day the 3rd day after the 1 day treatment. .1st day of using the 7 day treatment, vagina feels terrific. .6 days left..going to Dr. for a follow up after treatment. Lady's use the 7 day for full treatment. Had I read the reviews for Mon 1, I would have NEVER use it. Nothing that is sold OCT can clear anything in one day, it will take several treatments not oneRead More Read Less

On my 5th hour and very mild itching. Also, a tiny bit of cramping, but no real burning...more like a slight stinging itch. It seems to be hit or miss. I probably would not necessarily recommend this product due to the horror stories, but I'd use it again.

I really wish I would have read up on this before purchasing but I figured my mom wouldn't point me in the wrong direction when she said get monistat. After taking this and not thinking anything off if it I head to work. I have had the WORST itching, burning sensation and there is nothing I can do about it. They need a warning label or a label stating that this will happen. WOrst pain I've even been and and the most incomfortable. I am glad and relieved that I am not the only one who has experienced this though. At first I felt a since of worry. Read More Read Less

Ok its been an Hour since I've had this in and it is itching so uncontrollably and slightly burning if it doesnt go well i'm calling the company

I inserted the capsule about 20 minutes ago and the itch and burn is way worse than it was before. I put on the cream it came with and it hasn't helped at all. I want this thing out of me, but I also don't want to deal with this infection anymore. I'm going to try and withstand the rest of this, but I would not recommend this. I wish I knew what I was getting myself into with this product.

Terrible misleading product. 15 mins after inserting the ovule I experienced THE WORST burn and itch I have ever known. It was so bad that my husband found me in bathroom sitting on the floor crying. I immediately took two Benadryl, a warm bath, tried spraying it out... Nothing provided complete relief. I am typing this at 4 in the morning because I am unable to sleep with this burn and irritation. Please just go to your dr and get the oral prescription. I'm telling you right now it's just not worth the pain :(Read More Read Less

Had a yeast infection so I took monistat 1 around 8pm started cooking dinner and felt it coming out. It didn't burn at first but 10 min later I started to feel discomfort next thing you know my vagina was on fire and I was on the floor crying and begging Jesus Christ for mercy. I would have rather been dead! My boyfriend thinks I was over reacting and after I read these reviews I knew I wasn't just being a baby after all! Please think twice before using monistat 1! I wouldn't wish this kind of pain in my worst enemy. I would not recommend because my vagina still kinda burns ;(Read More Read Less

After reading the reviews of others, I was apprehensive about using this product although I had used it several years ago without any problems. I must be fortunate, as I had none of the issues mentioned. I have sensitivity issues "down there" and have to be very careful with soaps, detergents, etc, but had nothing but positive results with this product... Thank heavens!

I had a yeast infection and felt like maybe the over the counter stuff could work. The cream kinda work for me but every time I apply it it would burn like a fire was on my vagina. I wish i would had read the reviews before I brought this product. Now about to make an hospital run. Hopefully I can get out before it's time for work!

okay, i knew going in that not everything works for every person. So i waited a day till i felt like i couldn't take the itch anymore then tried it after a hot shower, which i do recommend. I also knew from friends that some people use it when they don't need to or forget to use the external creme or use the external creme inside, so i was cautious. Worked great! I got an infection that was crazy itchy from taking amoxicillian. So if you get random infections during the year like i do just from taking any meds, this is the way to go when it gets bad. Also, you should consult your doctor...i consulted a nurse friend.Read More Read Less
