Your probably get these UTIs because you use soap to wash your vaginal area. Not a good thing to do. Do not wash that area with soaps. Instead use a washcloth and water in the shower only. This keeps the soap from entering your urinary tract and also keeps a healthy balance of NORMAL and healthy bacteria. Also avoid douching of any kind. It's not necessary. Bubble baths are bad for people prone to UTIs. I avoid baths altogether and take showers only. Those "feminine" sprays....avoid them too. Basically, the only thing you want to put near your vaginal area is water! It's the only thing that won't upset your system. Also to, make sure you wipe from front to back so you don't get feces in that area when you are wiping. I use non-scented baby wipes instead of toilet paper when at home to make sure I get cleaner. When having sex, make sure your partner doesn't touch the anal area and then the vaginal area because that puts bacteria and feces in an area that we don't want it in!
