I am on anti-biotics for a UTI. The man I'm with has if this is possible too big a willy...... and I don't know what happens next really. Will I just get a UTI every time I sleep with him. I didn't the first few times. I think it was about the fifth time that I got cystitis. So now I'm trying to become more alkaline and I read that acv will make you more alkaline and it also inhibits growth of bacteria or some incredible claim. What else can I do?

Reading some websites, one suggestion seemed to be to take anti-biotics continually! Confused

Cranberry juice is great for cistitis.

themummyonthebus · 13/09/2014 16:09

And i would imagine more palatable than vinegar.

Get on love honey and buy the Tracey cox love lube .. Much better than stuff from boots

according to an american study (just read it on line) 300+ women, cranberry juice capsules had some success preventing recurrence of cystitis but it's no magic cure. I'm going to take a cranberry capsule every day as well, but I don't think it would be enough on its own. I have read so many great things about acv! it seems to fight cancer, be good for your bones, clears sinuses, it's good for hair,skin, eyes, nails! it makes your body alkaline which has more benefits, but f*&^ me it is disgusting!!

Maybe if I added a bit of honey it would be slightly less awful.

To answer the 'big willy' question, 'Yes' from Love Honey or Ann Summers is a good lube. Use on your clitoris before penetration.

not sure acv does anything. It certainly doesn't fight cancer, promote world peace etc etc.

obvious ones - you urinate before and after sex. He washes before sex, properly. A trip to Anne Summers etc and also look to technique and position.

he isn't the size of a baby's head, is he?

oh I wasn't suggesting that it could replace chemotherapy....!
