@ainsleigh What's old is new again. My urologist told me this 48 years ago. He also added to wear cotton underwear, no fancy silky lingerie, and no skintight slacks like leggings. He also said no hot tubs, no warmed leather seats. He said use perfume behind the ear or on the wrist for fragrance. He explained that taking a bath is sitting in water that has germs, bacteria, and dirt, and you wash yourself with dirty water. So I have not had a bath in 48 years and won't for the rest of my life. I have followed his directions and never missed it knowing I was preventing UTI's. He also was a great believer in cranberry juice, so that has been my morning juice since. I have had UTI's, but that's from teaching and not going to the restroom as needed. Can't leave 30 kids alone so just have to hold it and that is not healthy.
