Husband vaginal thrush treatment?

Omg how are so many women this trusting? It’s designed for a vagina! If the pessary was still in the box I would think MAYBE he bought the cream and could only get it with the pessary. But most men would mention that they had athletes foot to their wife or thrush to their wife surely? They moan like hell when they’ve got any discomfort! I would be 90% sure this belonged to a woman and I can’t see any logical reason that a woman would be in your husbands car using thrush treatment and it be innocent.

Sorry OP, don’t have sex with him until you get to the bottom of this. I think he’s cheating.

Not a pessary 🤦‍♀️

I 100% agree. But also with the location?

I do think that OP has a right to question / ask her DH.

I always thought (from what I’ve read on the Canesten website when I’ve needed treatment) that the cream just relieves the symptoms but doesn’t actually cure it. But that’s useful to know it helped clear it for you. I’ve got an opened tube left from when I just used a bit as part of the combo …have wondered how long the cream keeps when opened, ie if it’s worth saving for future use.

Groin fungal infection brought on by cycling and or gym. DH has had it on and off for years and uses Canesten.

He could have accidentally picked up the combo pack, used the cream on his feet, put tube in gym kit bag, and just tossed the pessary in the glove box. I think an innocent bloke wouldn't think about it. .

This. I - woman - once bought (which comes with a pessary) for external use.

Cleared everything up in a matter of days, never used the pessary. Is it possible that the husband didn’t know what the pessary was and simply opened it?

But combine that with turning the location off? very suspicious.

I can’t imagine what has even happened here because why would the applicator be there? Surely she’d have inserted it in a bathroom and disposed of it in the sanitary bin? Why would she insert it in the passenger seat whilst she had thrush? I have so many questions… I class myself as pretty open but I could never do that in front of my husband- IN HIS CAR.

My guess is he’s having an affair and the other woman has deliberately left something he cannot explain away as not belonging to a woman. A lipstick or an earring could be gaslit as you (or your daughters if you have one), or it even be explained he gave a colleague a lift and it fell out of her bag. This is much much harder for him to explain away because why would anyone even have that in their bag and not the bin.

Either that or he has thrush himself. When was the last time you had sex? Although surely if he’s swallowed it, he would feel unwell?

I'm sorry but why would it be left in the car?

Canesten is not just used for thrush. It is also used for ringworm, sweat rash and "jock itch".

I don't think a woman would leave all the packaging in the car or insert a pessary in front of her affair partner unless he had a weird fetish for that sort of thing.

I think he's put the pessary up his bum (surely if you swallowed it, you'd be really ill??). Either for genuine medical reasons or again because of a fetish.

To me, it just feels like the most likely explanation.

Why didnt you just immediately send him a pic asking what it is??

My thoughts are he’s bought the combi for himself and thought the pessary was to be taken orally. Probably used the cream in the car because maybe it was so itchy he couldn’t wait and he discarded the applicator because he didn’t know what it was for. However why hasn’t he told OP that he has thrush if that’s the case? She would need to be treated also. I would definitely ask him in a calm way and watch his body language for any signs of deception

Why would anyone need to apply it the car though!!! The whole thing is mad.

DH has in the past bough pessaries when he wanted cream for fungal skin conditions. Because he saw the brand "canesten", knew that's what he wanted and just grabbed the pack without thinking/reading. He thought the blister pack with the pessary was just another way to dispense the cream.

I wouldn't immediately leap to "affair" as inserting a pessary in the passenger seat of someone's car is weird.

We don't actually know what the cream is as OP hasn't told us the name of it !

We need a diagram of the "applicator" as well.

Goodness me, reading and comprehension are a lost art it seems.

Most likely explanation is that he needed the cream, accidentally bought the combo. When he saw the blister pack he popped it thinking it was part of the treatment. Once he realised it wasn’t he chucked it away and kept the cream.

Occam’s razor and all that.

Find My often kicks one of my family off and they have to reshare location. They don’t realise they’re not sharing until someone is looking for them and tells them the location is off. These things happen.

I did know someone at uni who accidentally bought the pessary to use on athletes foot. He didn’t know what the word pessary meant 😂😂 he ended up offering it to any of the girls on our floor in halls

Maybe he had an itchy bum and thought the pessary would sort it 🙈

If he was into bum sex it is very unlikely he would use use a thrush applicator. He would use a dildo by the escort/woman or the other man wd penetrate.

Thrush is NOT an sti.

However he is either having an affair or seeing an escort of some kind. I am going by the fact his whereabouts is unknown weekends recently. He is clearly up to something.

Or he could be sleeping with a man as many husbands are secretly bicurious/bisexual. I am going by general knowledge here.

You could ring a pharmacy and ask if there is any reason a man would be given this. Eg any condition.
Only thing I can think of is if he was putting it up his butt, and the possible reason being an affair with a man....

Personally I wouldn’t say anything yet, I would be checking car and gym bag for a burner phone then I’d be going through his phone (also turning location back on) if nothing comes of those and I’m still stumped then I’d be asking him about the pessary stick

I once went out with a guy who didn't know that women used toilet paper after a wee! He definitely wouldn't have know what a pessary was for.

I thought that was an entirely sensible post! 😀
