If you are worried about the onset of a UTI, I would recommend downing a sachet (or 2) of Ural Effervescent Powder – you can find this at any chemist and is a good idea to keep it on hand if you are prone to UTIs. Always following the directions on the pack.

Hi @electricmemes ,

Hope you are well. From your post, you sound like a considerate and thoughtful person, and at 23, already understand the importance of connection beyond just the act itself.
