Argh, I have to catch up on all the articles I've missed in the past couple of days...I have been written up at work for excessive internet usage. While my production and numbers are great and I do a very good job at what I do, my supervisor has decided to waste man hours by having someone track my internet usage. Jezebel is flagged as "women's abortion website." Yeah, I know. WTF. SIGHHHH.

Don't put anything in your cooter except vinegar and water. Anything else will fuck with the natural bacteria goings on. Leave it alone!!!!

I've done the garlic trick. While effective, it did mean that I had to get intimately and uncomfortably acquainted with parts of my anatomy in order to retrieve it. And my boyfriend was convinced he was dining at an Italian restaurant for days afterward.

The Garlic + Vaginas post made me speed right past the garlic at Kroger last night. Took one look at it and was all "OH HELL NO."

So, I bought Oreo pie instead.

@BrutallyHonestBabes: Oh hahahaha I should have clarified that one...Um...I didn't shove pie up my cooter. I ate it for dinner.

My vag is garlic (and pie) free.

Secret vampire deterrent is the funniest thing I've read in ages.

thanks for sharing, Sadie.

I'm not nearly that adventurous. 24-Walgreens and Monistat are where it's at for me.

In my experience, garlic works really well for bacterial vaginal infections, but for yeast not so much. As for cutting it before insertion, yes that's a very bad idea.

@Sodypop: Unfortunately, coming from a long line of UTI sufferers, I have to say nothing works like good old fashioned antibiotics. There are preventive measures you can take (such as drinking cranberry juice, urinating after sex, wearing only cotton underwear and changing frequently) but once the infection is on you pretty much need the drugs. At least in my mother's and my sister's and my own experience.

@Sodypop: Preventing a UTI is the only thing you can really do. I keep cranberry pills with me and I *definitely* pee after sex.. every time.

I have tried to get a paste of acidophilus powder and water up there with a syringe. I broke down and got a RX for Diflucan.

Tea tree oil.

I had a reoccurring mother-effer of a yeast infection recently, and refusing to go the Monistat route, I tried vinegar (white AND apple cider), garlic, plain yogurt and acidophilus pills (both orally and as a suppository). I basically had a salad in my vag. And nothing worked.

Finally, I bought some tea tree oil, put a few drops on a tampon and inserted it once a day for about three days - and bam! Cured.
