đźšż Practice Good Hygiene

- If you’re prone to UTIs after sex, talk to your doctor about postcoital antibiotics or prevention supplements
đź‘™ Underwear & Clothes Check
- Go for cotton undies—breathability is key
- Avoid tight pants or leggings for long stretches of time
- Sleep without underwear to give things a breather
đź’Š Proactive Prevention Tools
- Probiotics (especially with Lactobacillus strains)
