Manufacturer’s Claim
Read our review on Monistat Vaginal Antifungal Less Mess Ovule to learn what this product has to offer. Monistat claims to work four times faster than fluconazole, which is usually prescribed for dealing with yeast infections. It comes in an ovule form that conveniently adheres to the wall of the vagina which provides more effective relief with less mess. The convenience of Monistat is that it can be used day or night which means that there is no need to wait until bedtime to begin effective treatment. Treatment can normally take a few days before experiencing any relief. Monistat provides a range of one, three or seven-day treatment plans with varying strengths.
Formula
The Monistat Formula contains either 1200mg, 200mg or 100mg of miconazole depending if you choose the one, three, or seven-day treatment. The one-day treatment provides a strong dose which the manufacturer states is great for active women. The three-day product is a great alternative for women who want a less concentrated product. The seven-day treatment is a good solution for pregnant and diabetic women. There is no further information regarding the ingredients. The product comes with the less mess ovule insert, a tube of itch relief cream, and cool wipe pads.
Instructions
Monistat 1 is a once off treatment ovule that can be used at any time of the day or night. Monistat 3 is taken once a day, for three days, before you go to bed. Monistat 7 only comes in the form of a cream that should be applied once a day at bedtime for seven days.
While the Monistat options claim to be faster working and more convenient than conventional creams, there are also products available that you can take orally for complete convenience in assisting with the regulation of PH and bacteria levels.

Monistat Vaginal Antifungal Less Mess Ovule Review – The Bottom Line
The concept of the treatment is simple and practical being a fast acting and noninvasive on your lifestyle treatment. It is appealing to have the option of different strengths so you can choose an option that better suits your lifestyle. Through some research, we have found that customers have not found the product to live up to their level of expectation, and in some cases, have needed to start an oral treatment after using the Monistat product first.
Unfortunately, while there is a good amount of information regarding the treatment of yeast infections on their website, there is not much information regarding the ingredients, price or guarantee of the product. A manufacturer that goes to great lengths to explain their product, but does not back it up with a guarantee, is usually a red flag. A guarantee is generally a testament to the manufacturer’s confidence in the product.
