UTI from Lube?

Contributor: lilly555 lilly555
I was wondering if it was possible to get a urinary tract infection from certain lubes? I had one recently which was a first for me, usally I'm pretty good about keeping clean and going to the bathroom after sex so now I'm wondering...

Unfortunately, it is possible. If you have sensitivities to certain ingredients (like glycerin) you can totally get a UTI from using lubricant.

Yes it's possible, my ex had it and when we switched to no lube UTIs were gone. It's a matter of sensitivity.

glycerin doesn't bother me, I've been using a product with glycerin for over a year now and now affects. My main concern was a lube that had parabens, it was my partners not mine. Anywho when I stopped using it I got better so I was thinking that may be the cause but I was also taking anibiotics...

Yes! Always check your ingredients. Unfortunately, I know from firsthand experience.
