UTI = urinary tract infection (caused by bacteria, e.coli, etc). I think you're talking about yeast infections, which are more annoying than serious.

The reason a bath bomb, other cleaners might cause a UTI is it tampers with the pH (and therefore kills good bacteria). That could lead to e.coli subsequently getting into your body that way and causing an infection. So washing after won't necessarily fix that. The other cause is wiping the wrong direction.

Most people who are prone to them are told to stay away from scented product (such as TP and douching) and underwear that doesn't ventilate well. I go further and say stay away from dyed products as well. I notice foods with certain dyes cause my stomach to lose it's **** and also causes skin irritation/dryness so I stay away from excess dyes...
