So, this didn't happen today, but a few months ago. I woke up early one morning and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth, as I usually do. But this time, I didn't pay much attention to what I was grabbing from the counter.

You see, someone in my house had left a tube of vagisil next to the toothpaste, and I didn't notice it until it was too late. I squeezed some of the white paste onto my toothbrush and started brushing away.

At first, I didn't notice anything strange. But then, as I was brushing my tongue, I tasted something... off. It was a weird, bitter taste that I couldn't quite place. I spit out the foam and rinsed my mouth, but the taste lingered.

That's when I looked at the tube of vagisil and realized what had happened. I had just brushed my teeth with a vaginal cream. I felt disgusted and embarrassed, and I couldn't believe I hadn't noticed the mistake earlier.

I immediately brushed my teeth again with toothpaste, but the taste didn't go away for a while. I also felt a bit paranoid that I might have somehow made my mouth or teeth smell of vagisil, but thankfully, nothing bad happened.

I never told anyone about this incident, but I still cringe when I think about it. Moral of the story: always check what you're grabbing from the counter before using it!

TL;DR: Accidentally used vagisil instead of toothpaste to brush my teeth, tasted weird and gross, felt embarrassed and paranoid.

Did it relieve the itching, burning sensation in your mouth though?

I was in a hotel. It was a 2 week trip so when I got to the room, I emptied my shaving kit into drawers in the bathroom. The next morning I woke up a bit hung over and went went to brush my teeth. The “toothpaste “ tasted terrible. I looked and apparently someone before me left some yeast infection cream in the drawer. All the rinsing and mouthwash in the world couldn’t get rid of the taste.

Diaper rash cream - that stuff is made to NOT wash off. I could feel the "wetness barrier" all freakin day

Five years ago I mistook a tube of cortizol for toothpaste so I understand how that goes.
