I've been getting it on and off this pg - seems to have settled down now, I hope!
I used the internal applicators - as my midwife said, no-one's really going to ram them up there, for comfort's sake, if nothing else!
I also (on advice) have taken to inserting acidophilous capsules inside - they dissolve and release good bacteria in the target area.
Trust me, I know how hideous it can be, especially when you develop lesions and you can barely walk and all you want to do is stay in bed to pretend it's not happening
