User Reviews for Monistat 1 (tioconazole) vaginal

Don't let reviews scare you. If you can handle a yeast infection burn you can take just a little more burn for the sake of treatment. Yes it's going to feel worse but everything always gets worse before it gets better. You're going to itch and burn which ever treatment you go with. Be strong and get it over with quickly and set yourself up for a rough day but it's just a day. Shoot if many of you can carry a baby for 9-10 months and give birth you can rough it for a day. The stuff works. Get water, snacks pad and hang out in bed with a good show. Read More Read Less

I have used a variety of treatments for yeast infections. I’ve taken diflucan and used Monistat 1, 3, and 7. I didn’t want to wait for the dr so this time I used Monistat 1 along with Azo (for quick treatment relief). Most likely because I’ve used it previously, I was definitely more prepared than many reviewers for what was to come. #1. I absolutely do not use the external cream during the treatment. If you wait a day or two after using the internal treatment it’s much less fiery on the vagina. #2. I make sure to pile pillows under my butt so that gravity cannot make the situation worse than it is. 10/10 recommend. Although I prefer to treat overnight, I woke up from the symptoms around 5:30 am so I inserted the medicine egg at about 6 am and took an Azo and went back to sleep. . The Azo was amazing at helping relieve itching quickly while I waited for the treatment to work. Having my hips up certainly kept the medicine in and prevented the burning. When I did have to get up, simple icing relieved the slight burning that was still left. Now I’m good to go. Very quick and simple. If you set yourself up for success to prevent the burning, I will always recommend the 1 day treatment. It’s the fastest way to find relief. I’d recommend the 3 day next, but you still have to be intentional about preventing leakage. It burns too. If you’re willing to wait 7 days, just go to the dr and get diflucan. 7 days of bedtime leakage just isn’t worth it. Read More Read Less

WARNING !!! I’m in more pain now then prior to using this one day. The itch & burning sensation is unbearable. Not worth using. I would consider the lower does next time because the severe burning doesn’t feel healthy. It’s only been 1 hour for me. Also the external cream has made it worst. I could not stand or sit still after applying the cream on the outside of my vagina. It did not help at all !!! Please Consider the 3 or 7 day. Worst experience ever.

I was pretty nervous to try this after reading so many bad reviews. I inserted it around 9:30pm and went to bed a few hours later, slept all throughout the night with no discomfort. I would definitely wear a panty liner or pad or some sort for the leakage, but I had a good experience with this product and it cured the infection I had going. There was no burning like described in a lot of the other reviews, and I had no discomfort.

The burning and itching is insane, this should not be allowed, it was a relief to read the other reviews but the so-called 1 day speed of this product is not worth the current sleepless night I'm having. Next time I'll just take the same thing my doctor prescribed and never do this again. Unsure what the point of trying to relieve the discomfort from the yeast infection I was already having with something so much worse.

NEVER use this product, stick to the Monistat day 7 that’s the best one to use. The monistat 1 is a extremely high dose and it swelled my vagina up! I was literally crying and had to go to my doctors the next day to do something for the swelling. It will clear the yeast infection but it is absolutely not worth the pain. I had to use ice to try to get the swelling to go down, i could barely even walk! It also made my vaginal feel warm, I had to lay down and take a whole days rest til the swelling went down. The burning is RIDICULOUS. it hurts so bad i didn’t even feel the itch anymore because it was hurting so bad. We are not exaggerating I promise it’s NOT worth it one bit. If your already using this and in pain definitely use Benadryl, that helps A LOT, it can also give you a allergic reaction because it’s so strong. I would rate this product a zero if I could. STICK TO MONISTAT 1Read More Read Less

I’m the bathroom floor rolling around in pain and I cannot believe how bad this burns. Im literally shaking. This is hour 3 now. I just took ibuprofen and azo, I should have already done that but I didn’t expect this to be so excruciating. I am just in shock. Please for the love of God I hope it’s worth it and gone tomorrow it hurts so bad

I want to add my review because…well the other reviews were hilarious. Maybe a bit exaggerated, but helpful nonetheless. I decided to use Monistat 1 after an unsuccessful use of the alternative vagisil 1 dose. I got the Vagisil because i remembered how badly the monistat burns. I would consider this yi moderate/severe. With the Vagisil the swelling subsided but 4 days later I still had slight itching and the discharge had not gone away. That’s when I decided to give in and try Monistat 1. I was desperate as it would be a while before I could make it to the doctors office. I inserted the egg at 9pm, woke up around 1am in the most excruciating pain. I wiped some of the product off which helps for 10 minutes until more product start leaking out. I then googled relief options. I took an ibuprofen but I couldn’t wait for it to kick in the pain was so bad so I tried the anti itch cream. Wrong choice. I applied it and my cooch felt like I poured acid on it. I quickly wiped it off with a cold rag. I then applied diaper rash ointment (thank god I have a child still in diapers) and that helped instantly! It basically took me an hour and a half to find relief. In the past this has helped so I know it will again. You just have to get through the burning phase. Next time I’m definitely keeping some ibuprofen and diaper rash cream available from the start. Hopefully it will prevent the burning from even occurring. Read More Read Less

I can’t really say rather or not it has worked for me because I probably have scraped it all out. 30 mins after insertion….. I got the woooorrrssttt itch in my life. I wanted to remove my vagina and sit it in a bowl of ice water. I tried an ice pack…. I even tried the external cream which I’ll never try again because it was like throwing gasoline in a fire. I will never use this again. After scraping with tissue… aggressive patting and taking a Benadryl I just might make it through it night.

For those saying 1 day burns , it def does . That’s also because it’s a stinger dosage in your vagina. 7 day is the best one to be safe . One day and 3 day works but that is too much medication inside your vagina which is causing burning etc

This works! People should note that this monostat 1 ingredient is TICONACOLE other monostat is MICONOZOLE. They May be having an allergic reaction to difference in medications! All monostat is not the same. Must read label and info before administering. I think if you use it and it burns more than slightly, than next time use the miconazole monostat.

I feel like I’m having an allergic reaction to the medication. The burning is so bad. I should never have used it. I tried getting in the shower and that was the only relief. The pain is so so so bad!

well… if hell was on earth this would be it. i have only ever taken monistat 3 before and it works miracles… but this, THIS WAS AWFUL. i shoved the egg up at about 10:30-11:00pm and at 1:53am (oh yes i know the exact time) i woke up and had to pee and then it began. i went back to bed thinking i could sleep it off and boy was i ever wrong. it itched so bad i thought i was having an allergic reaction until coming on here, so i appreciate everyone’s comments making me feel less crazy. i’m an hour into it and the ITCH IS SO REAL. the inside of my vagina feels like a healing sunburn. although it still itches and burns like it’s lucifer’s private parts… after reading everyone else’s i know i’ve probably only got an hour left of the itch. good luck friend, you can do this!!!!

This medication is burning my private area like it has a major sun burn. I'm into the 4th hour of burning. Washed it our & taken antihistamine with no success.

The reviews on this thing has me laughing so hard and I thank you guys because I needed to take my mind off of my coochie being on fire lmaooo. Most customers don’t understand the monistat 1is the highest dose and for women that can handle the pain to get quicker relief ?????. The burning and itchy feeling actually means it’s working and the medication is doing it’s job. It’ll last about 30-45 minutes but once it’s done your coochie will feel brand new I promise. This isn’t my first time using it and I know it works. Great alternative for people with no insurance or can’t wait to see a doctor Read More Read Less

I usually take Monistat3 when I do come across a yeast infection. I decided to take Monistat1 with the belief of a quicker relief. My first two hours after inserting the Ovule I had no discomfort or itching. After that time I experienced bleeding and instantly freaked out. Knowing that I don’t start my menstrual until another two weeks… I was very worried and then the burning and abdominal pain “cramping” began. I felt as though I was having contractions and my vagina was going to fall off. I was bleeding like I was on my menstrual cycle. Heavy! After taking some pain medication and sleeping it off…. I woke up to a slightly swollen vagina still bleeding no itch tho.Read More Read Less

Okay so like 2 weeks prior from today I had a yeast infection and I used the monistat day 1 egg and it was horrible and the most painful thing I've ever felt. I wanted to cut my vagina out entirely......so fast forward 2days ago I see that the yeast infection has came back so today I remember I had another monistat 1 day pack but I was dreading using it because of my experience with that little devil egg but I'm glad I did ... I felt instant relief no itching no burning and its only been a couple hours I also popped 2 ibuprofen and some avo yeasts infection relief and I've been drinking cranberry juice consistently so yes I would definitely recommend this treatment and will stick to using this one Read More Read Less

It made it so worse... more irritated, burning, I had to leave work in the middle of the day to run home to wash it off... it wasn't that bad , and it made it worse, my labial is red and burning like crazy... THESE PEOPLE MUST HATE WOMEN.... Ive never felt so terrible in my life... I don't know what type of chemicals they put , that burned it so bad... If it doesn't feel better , I might had to run to the ER..... because I really can't stand this pain. TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!! DO NOT BUY!!!!Read More Read Less

I have to say I was worried after reading reviews, but I have had no issues and have experienced instant relief. I have a very mild burning, but it is not anything worse than the symptoms I had pretreatment.

Yes there is a burning that everyone talks about, but it only lasted for about 30 minutes and it was barable. Once it was over, I was back to 100% with no more symptoms. If you want to save yourself some time, this product is perfect!
