Nothing ruins a good love-fest quite like a temperamental vagina. Here are some simple ways to avoid post-sex issues, so you can focus on maximizing pleasure.

1.Urinate before and after sex & stay hydrated

If you don’t empty the bladder completely, you may create a stagnant pool of urine that’s conducive to bacterial growth.

Anecdotal evidence suggests that people with recurring urinary issues swear by hydration as a proactive measure and studies have shown that drinking more water was associated better supported urinary tract health.

A packet of Flush after sex is an delicious & easy way to flush your urinary tract. This drink mix is here to keep you covered when you need it most.†

2.Avoid scented products below the waist

It’s tempting to sweeten up your self-care routine by introducing all kinds of aromas. While bath bombs and scented lotions are fun, they’re usually chock-full of chemical irritants that can cause loads of trouble down under.

Perfume and body oils are both great in moderation. But try to keep the products away from your vulva to avoid irritation.

3.Practice healthy hygiene

Wash the genital area using mild, fragrance-free soap. Keeping yourself clean before and after sex can help support your urinary tract. Make sure to avoid harsh products that may disrupt the natural balance of your body.

The balance of your microbiome is just as important and deserves daily support. According to mechanism research, Defend helps cleanse biofilm and maintain bladder wall integrity.†

Since vaginal health is tightly linked with urinary tract health, bundle with Promote to maintain healthy vaginal bacteria and yeast levels.†

4.Find what condom is right for you

Avoid spermicide-coated condoms, which can impact the “good bacteria” in your vagina. Additionally, be cautious with unlubricated condoms, which increase friction during intercourse, and can lead to inflammation of the urethra.

There's plenty of alternative options out there. Paying a little attention to those ingredients goes a long way in being proactive about your urinary health.

FAQs

What products are right for me?
Uqora Flush, Uqora Defend and Uqora Promote. Uqora Flush, flushes the urinary tract, Uqora Defend cleanses biofilm and supports bladder wall integrity according to mechanism research, and Uqora Promote is our vaginal probiotic with clinically studied ingredients to support your vaginal health †.

How do I know if I need all 3 parts of the Uqora urinary health regimen?
Each person's urinary tract health needs are unique. Our 3-part proactive regimen provides our maximum support because each product works together to cover urinary health from a different angle: flush the urinary tract with Flush, cleanse biofilm & support bladder wall integrity according to mechanism research with Defend, and maintain healthy vaginal bacteria with Promote. All 3 products together create the Complete Regimen.

A majority of Uqora customers take all 3 (Flush, Defend and Promote) for our maximum support. If you’re not sure what’s right for you, we recommend taking our quiz or reaching out to us at support@uqora.com!
How is Uqora different from cranberry juice and extracts?
None of Uqora's products include cranberry - that's because studies on cranberry juice and extracts do not consistently show a benefit, as highlighted by a commentary in the Journal of the American Medical Association: “it is time to move on from cranberries.” Uqora takes a new approach to an age-old problem, leveraging the best available clinical research on ingredients shown to be effective.

We’ve heard from a lot of customers who couldn’t get a handle on their urinary health with cranberry juice or cranberry supplements alone, but have seen a great difference with Uqora.

Taking all 3 parts of our proactive supplement regimen supports your urinary health in ways cranberry alone does not.
