Probably both the same, actually. If Canesten is a tablet you insert in your vagina, it has to melt to work, that's just how they work. So they will both be leaky. I've used Monistat and generic versions and they've both worked about the same.

Makes sense. Thanks for your input.

I can reassure you that this one is leaky as well, lol 0.0 Unfortunately, my 3day treatment didn't work, my doctor advised me that I should've bought a 5 day one.

I went to Shoppers (drug mart) today, and asked a pharmacist what he'd recommend. He says that the cream treatment would work better than the tablet. So, I bought a monistat 7 day treatment cream (prefilled applicators) T_T I hope this one won't be more icky..

I've tried both the Canesten Comfort tabs & the monistat 7 day cream and there are pros and cons for both, although I have to choose Monsitat 7 day cream applicators as the winner. I agree with others who say that the monistat cream makes a MESS and makes you feel a little gross the next morning BUT I find that the product has gotten rid of my infection every time. Canesten comfort tabs, though less messy, had a down fall that I personally extremely disliked. The tablets break down and go all chalky and lumpy (at least thats what I found) and although its not a gushy mess all at once when you get up in the morning, it slowly leaks out ALL DAY, and the dry clumpy bits I found irratated me a little down there. Both come with an external cream tube that work wonders.

I prefer AZO Yeast 3x a day with infection and 1x a day with no infection to prevent future infections. It's a tablet you take oral.

I've used monistat before it really works but feels very uncomfortable(nasty). I've never used canesten.

i have just tried canesten that was reccomended by a parmacist. I have only used monostat before and was willing to try something different and less messy. I found that i was more itchy and more uncomfortable with the canesten due to the fact that when is desolves it does leave little granuales and is very chalky. I found it irritated the delicate tissue even more when wiping "ouch". Im definatly going back to monostate its much more soothing.

I've used both brands, both are quite leaky and messy, I wouldn't reccomend the tablet if you are sore on the out side as it gets chalky and hurts to clean afterwards. Both canesten cream and monistat cream are both good. depending on how bad your infection is choose the amount of days as necessary.
