Details
Over 404 mio people suffer from urinary tract infections globally each year, with 85%of cases affecting women. UTIs are 2nd leading cause of antibiotic prescriptions. In 90 %of cases, the culprit is E.coli, a natural gut bacterium. During sex, bacteria can easily travel from the anal region to the urethra due to the close proximity of these areas, making sexual intimacy a major UTI risk factor for women. Cyscover® offers a revolutionary answer: an ultra-thin film that covers the skin in the perineum&anal region during intercourse. Discreet, comfortable for her&invisible to partners, it prevents bacterial transfer without disrupting the moment.
