6 With one hand holding the barrel, use the other hand to push the plunger all the way in to place the cream as far back in the vagina as possible. Then remove both parts of the applicator from the vagina. 7 Be sure to clean the applicator after each use. Gently pull apart the applicator pieces. Wash them with soap and warm water. To rejoin, gently push the inside piece into the ribbed end of the outside piece as far as it will go. 8 Lie down as soon as possible after inserting the cream. This will reduce leakage. 9 Repeat steps 2 through 8 before bedtime for the next 6 days. You may want to use deodorant-free pads or pantyshields to protect your clothing during the time that you are using this product. This is because the vaginal cream can leak or you may get some discharge. Do not use tampons, douches, spermicides, condoms or diaphragms until after you have completed the treatment and your symptoms are gone.
