Great way to get yogurt in the place it needs to be

A tip for getting yogurt into the vagina.
If you have an old medicine dropper you can throw away then use this to help out with the insertion. Never heard of the tampon thing but I would think that this would just get mushy and not go in. I hope this helps others out.
I have never used yogurt for a yeast infection but if ever I get one again then just maybe I will try it. I am betting it is the plain right?? Having that area smell like cherry or strawberry would not be a bad thing but not looking to get the infection worse. LOL

You're absolutely right, Nikki, it does need to be a plain, unsweetened type of yogurt - remember yeast can feed on sugars - and also important to chose one with live and active culture in it.
I have HEARD (but not used myself) of both Activia and Dannon plain being used.
Anyone have experience with either of these two brands as to which is best for yeast infection?
