Im very squeamish and it hurts me to insert the monistat applicator, i end up not putting it in far enough. any tips? should i use lube? im only 19.

Try Diflucan®: You can treat a vaginal yeast infection with fluconazole, trade name Diflucan®. It is only a single pill by mouth and is available without prescription and just as effective as vaginal creams. Look it in the same section of the pharmacy as Monistat, or ask the pharmacist. If your symtoms don't clear in a few days, see a doctor; self diagnosis of vaginal yeast is often wrong! Good luck.
