MM - a tampon as an applicator is a good idea - never thought of that!
I had some yeasties throwing a party down there last week. I gave the yogurt treatment a good try, and by golly it worked!

I found on the internet a recommendation to make yogurt-cicles. It sounds like filling the fingers of a latex glove and then freezing it would be perfect. I couldn't find any latex gloves on short notice so I put my yogurt in a sandwich bag, smooshed it into an appropriate shape, and froze it.

I started the treatment as soon as I had the tell-tale itching and burning. On a regular basis I just went to the freezer, broke off a smallish portion, and popped it up there. Yeah, it's cold but it cools the "fire" of the YI! I'm going to keep plain yogurt on hand at all times now!
