Here’s the truth: summer is peak UTI season. Hot weather, beach days in damp swimwear, road trips, festivals, dehydration, and new partners all create the perfect little storm for that burny bathroom feeling we all know too well, and absolutely do not have time for.

But this year? You’re staying several steps ahead. Here’s your no BS guide to staying comfortable, confident, and UTI-free all summer long:

 

1. Change out of wet togs ASAP

Hanging out in swimmers is cute for the first 20 minutes, but the warm, damp environment can quickly become a bacteria playground. Swap into dry clothes when you’re done swimming - ideally cotton undies that let things breathe and your future self will thank you.

2. Stay hydrated

The less you drink, the less you pee, and the less your bladder is flushing away funky bacteria that doesn’t belong in the urinary tract. 

Hot weather, exercise, coffee and cocktails all increase our need for hydration. Get in the habit of taking a water bottle with you any time you’re out and about and aim for steady sips all day long. 

3. Pee after sex (non-negotiable)

The oldest rule in the book… because it works. It doesn’t matter if it’s your long-term love or a summer fling  - make that bathroom trip. Every. Single. Time.

It’s the easiest hack for keeping bacteria from migrating where it doesn’t belong.

4. Go easy on the sugar + alcohol combo

They’re fun… until they’re not. Both can disrupt your vaginal and urinary tract flora, making you way more prone to flare-ups. You don’t need to limit the fun entirely, just know your limits and keep a bit of balance with food, water, and breaks between drinks.

5. Don’t hold it in

Festival queues. Long drives. Beach days where the public toilets are “too far away.” Holding your pee gives bacteria time to multiply. If your bladder is calling, answer it.

6. Take Cranberry Active, daily

For daily prevention, or at the first signs of discomfort, cranberry juice won’t cut it. You need the active compounds that actually make a difference. 

NEW Cranberry Active is our easy-to-mix, antibiotic-free formula, and each serve delivers:

• 40 mg PACs (proanthocyanidins) - the research-backed dose that helps stop bacteria from sticking to the bladder wall.

• 2000 mg D-mannose - a natural sugar that binds to E. coli and helps flush it out.

 

Now go enjoy your salty hair, sun-soaked weekends, road trips, and romance without the burn.
