Hey girls, lets talk UTI's (Urinary Tract Infections). Most of us have had them, some more than others; and we all know how dreadful they are. After booking your holiday, saving up, planning your outfits and booking experiences the last thing we need to ruin it all is waking up with a raging UTI. So, let’s dive into some tips that’ll keep you feeling great, so you can sip that cocktail by the pool without a worry in sight
Hydrate Like It's Your Job
First up, water is your BFF. Not only does it keep your skin glowing, but it also keeps those pesky UTIs at bay by flushing out bacteria. So, keep your water bottle handy and sip in style. If water’s too bland for your taste, spice it up with some fruit. Try some of these fun fruit combinations!
Pee Tactics: The Game Changer
Don’t hold it in, girl. When nature calls, answer! Holding your pee is like sending a VIP invite to bacteria for a pool party in your bladder. The ques at beach clubs and pool parties can be very long so think ahead and try to stay ahead of desperately needing to pee.
And after dipping in the pool, ditch the wet swimsuit ASAP. A wet swimsuit can be a breeding ground for bacteria, especially if you are already feeling a UTI creeping in. If the sun is not quite hot enough for you bottoms to swiftly dry then we would recommend carrying a spare pair of bikini bottoms around with you for when you're done with swimming and ready to relax.
We get it, vacation equals fun drinks. But balance is key. For every cocktail or caffeinated temptation, chug a glass of water. It’s like the ultimate hack for enjoying yourself without giving UTIs a chance.
Stay Clean, Stay Clear
Good hygiene is your golden ticket. Always wash your hands and embrace the front-to-back wipe. And when it comes to soap, choose gentle, pH-balanced options to keep everything in harmony down there.
Dress Code: UTI-Proof Edition
Opt for breathable, loose clothing (yes, that includes your cute undies) to keep the area dry and inhospitable for bacteria. SwimSerene’s swimwear is not only trendy but also designed to keep you comfy and dry.
The Probiotic Secret
Incorporate some probiotic-rich foods into your vacation diet. Yogurt can be a delicious way to keep your gut and urinary tract in check, which in turn, keeps the UTIs away.
Food: Your Delicious Defender
A balanced diet is your shield against UTIs. Focus on foods high in prebiotics like garlic and onions to keep your gut flora happy. And don’t forget cranberries!
Conclusion
Armed with these tips, you’re all set to conquer your vacation sans the UTI blues. Remember, it's all about balance, hygiene, and the right clothes. Now, go make those vacation memories worry-free!
Sex on Vacation: A UTI’s Favorite Romance
Intimate moments may be part of your vacation package, but let’s keep them sweet, not sour. Pee before and after the deed—think of it as your romantic intermission. It's the least glamorous part of vacation sex but think of it as a ritual that keeps the fun times rolling without any nasty interruptions.
A Toast to Cranberry Juice (The Unsweetened Hero)
Cranberries are your tart little protectors against UTIs. While we’re not saying to swap your margaritas for cranberry juice entirely, mixing in a few glasses of the unsweetened stuff can do wonders. And hey, cranberry juice looks pretty cute when sipped from a fancy glass, too.
Travel Med Kit: Your UTI Prevention Arsenal
No, we're not suggesting you lug around a giant first-aid kit. But packing a small travel-sized med kit with essentials like cranberry supplements, hydration salts, and some over-the-counter remedies can be a game-changer. It's like having a little guardian angel in your purse.
Conclusion
So there you have it, ladies. With these tips, your vacation can be all about making memories, sipping on that extra cocktail, and rocking your swimwear without a care in the world. Remember, UTIs have no place in our vacation plans. Stay hydrated, stay smart, and keep it stylish <3
