It says Dont go swimming while you have an irritation as the chlorine may make it worse. Doesn't say anything about it being dodgy for other people tho.

are you on the pesseries?? they leak stuff for ages the next day or fanny fizzers as i used to call them. .i had loads of thrush when i was preggers

well i decided not to go just in case. im still sore so i thought it best not to go.
i hadn't thought about the chlorine... ouch

i just have the cream atm. if it isnt much better by tomorrow (and it cant get much worse) im gonna have to get a prescripton for something else. or for the stronger cream

I was going to say it wouldn't be too comfortable

Might not make it any better either - chlorine seems to make things worse sometimes
