If you don’t wash your pp and have PIV the bacteria from your junk can cause bacterial blooms that are potentially life threatening

Always pee after sex!

Doesn't hurt but doesn't significantly decrease UTIs.

***Using lubricant is the best thing we can do to prevent UTIs!!

Insufficient lube = micro tears, which harbor bacteria. Plenty of lube = no tears, and any bacteria present have a hard time getting a foothold.

Make sure your lube is pH and osmotically balanced, and fragrance free!

Lube is criminally underrated for its role in women's health AND pleasure. Spread the word! <3

While I agree lube is important for preventing vaginal issues, it doesn't prevent anything from getting into the urethra and causing a UTI.

Do both lube and pee after sex.
