Your Guide to Immediate UTI Relief at Home

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are an uncomfortable and often painful experience that many people will experience at some point over the course of their lives. The good news is that it’s now easier than ever to take control of UTI symptoms from the comfort of your home. At-home UTI test kits and urinary pain relief products make it easier than ever to find immediate relief and determine if you need medical treatment. Our new cUTIe Kit is a UTI emergency kit that includes UTI test strips, a urinary pain reliever, an antibacterial pain reliever, and 20% off antibiotic UTI treatment from Wisp. Read on to learn more about how you can effectively manage your UTI symptoms from home and get treatment for fast relief.

How to Know You Have A UTI

Did you know that about 40% of women in the US will develop a UTI during their lifetimes? Women are at least 4x more likely to develop a UTI than men, in part due to anatomical sex differences (yep, yet another problem that comes with having a vulva with a short urethra!). Recognizing the symptoms of a UTI is the first step toward relief. Common symptoms include:

• A strong, persistent urge to urinate
• A frequent urge to urinate
• A burning sensation when urinating
• Cloudy, dark, or strong-smelling urine
• Pelvic pain

UTIs are extremely common, but knowing the signs can help you take action early and prevent the infection from getting worse. UTIs can progress quickly to the kidneys and can require a costly trip to the emergency room—getting treatment fast not only saves you pain, but a little cash, too!

Your UTI Emergency Kit

As mentioned above, a UTI can progress from, “Hmm…” to “Ouch!” fast. If you’re prone to UTIs, having an emergency kit on hand can save you a lot of discomfort and help you get relief right away. Here are some essential items to include:

• At-Home UTI Test Strips: These basic tests look for the presence of white blood cells and nitrites in your urine to help quickly determine if you have a UTI. You can get results in as little as two minutes!
• Urinary Pain Relief Products: Over-the-counter products like our Urinary Pain Relief can target and alleviate the pain and burning sensation associated with UTIs.
• Antibacterial Urinary Pain Relievers: These products help manage symptoms and reduce bacterial activity, though they can’t cure an active infection.

While these products provide immediate UTI relief, it’s crucial to consult a medical provider for antibiotic treatment. Wisp can connect you with a provider online so you can get a consultation for UTI antibiotics same day! Plus, our cUTIe Kit includes a special discount code for 20% off UTI treatment when you need it, so there’s no need to put off important care.

How to Use At-Home UTI Testing

An at-home UTI test can be a game-changer for those who experience recurring infections. These test kits work by detecting nitrites and leukocytes in your urine, which are markers of infection. Here’s how to use them:

• Collect a Urine Sample: Follow the instructions in your UTI test kit to ensure a clean and accurate sample.
• Dip the Test Strip: Submerge the test strip in the urine for the recommended time.
• Wait and Read: After 2 minutes, compare the strip’s color changes to the chart provided in the kit.

If the test confirms a UTI, you can proceed with over-the-counter relief and seek a prescription for antibiotics. UTI test strips offer a convenient and reliable way to test at home for UTI, without having to make the journey to an urgent care when you’re not feeling the best.

How Does Urinary Pain Relief Work?

Urinary pain relievers work by targeting the specific pain receptors in your urinary tract. The active ingredient, They contain a medication called Phenazopyridine, which acts as a local painkiller on the urinary tract. Researchers aren’t entirely sure, but believe it works by directly targeting the mucous membranes in the lower urinary tract, blocking nerve fibers in the bladder to help alleviate symptoms. Unlike general pain relievers such as ibuprofen or aspirin, Wisp’s Urinary Pain Reliever is designed specifically for urinary discomfort.

It’s important to remember that pain relief only addresses symptoms and does not treat the underlying infection—even if you feel better, you need to connect with a provider for UTI antibiotics!

How Does Antibacterial Pain Relief Work?

Antibacterial pain relief products are formulated to manage infection-related symptoms. Our Antibacterial Plus Urinary Pain Relief contains a combination of Methenamine and Sodium Salicylate—together these two active ingredients provide symptomatic relief and may slow bacterial growth. Methenamine works by breaking down in the bladder to form formaldehyde, a compound that kills bacteria.

Always consult a healthcare provider if you suspect you have a UTI.
