I really want to return to work soon, but I wear an "Instead cup" bc of my usual large amount of wetness - I don't want the cup to interfere/make worse the YI.
My ques: How many hours and how many days do you need to leave the garlic up there?
I first put it up there yest during the day for about 8 hrs. I then "changed the garlic lol" and put a new clove up there for about 10 hrs. I still itched when I woke up, and my vag was still dry compared to its usual self.
Should I keep going the garlic route, or should I get Monistat? I've heard that garlic usually works for YIs that aren't too bad (which mine isn't), so is it possible that it's something else garlic won't help? I've only had protected (condom) sex w the same person in the last 3.5 yrs.
