Honeymoon Cystitis?

Cyscover® is an ultra-thin, transparent cover designed for the temporary coverage of the natural skin microbiome between anus and vagina during sex. Barely noticeable in comfort, invisible to your partner.

Millions of women worldwide

develop „uncomplicated bladder infections“ aka urinary tract infections (UTIs) or (honeymoon) cystitis after sex.

In up to 90 % of cases E.coli intestinal bacteria are the trigger

Escherichia coli (E.coli) are a natural component of the intestinal microbiome and play an important role in gut health. However, if they enter urethra and bladder, they can cause pain and inflammation.

The
female 
anatomy

doesn’t help us here. Urethra, vagina and anus are very close to each other so that intestinal and vaginal bacteria can enter the urethra easily. With a length of only 4 cm, the urethra is also significantly shorter than in men, meaning that bacteria can reach the bladder more quickly.

Risk factor Sex

Whatever your sexual preference, during intercourse, friction meets body fluids and intestinal bacteria can pass quickly from the anal region into the vagina or even the urethra. In addition, urethra and vagina are often irritated by friction, which makes it even easier for pathogens, such as E.coli, to invade.

Biofilm & urothelium

But wait, there’s more! Our bodies are complex. Once E.coli bacteria have entered the urethra, they can form a dense biofilm that makes the access for immune cells and antibiotics difficult. The bacteria can migrate to the lining of the urinary tract (urothelium), hide and persist there until they are released and the infection cycle begins again.

Gardnerella vagi-whaaat?

Gardnerella vaginalis is a germ that colonizes the vagina in many women. If it makes its way into the bladder, it attacks the top layer of the urothelium, causing „hidden“ E.coli bacteria to be released again. Thus, vaginal bacteria can cause a bladder infection to flare up indirectly.

ANTI
biotics

Second most common reason for antibiotic prescriptions? Bingo! Bladder infections. In Germany alone, there’s at least 6.3 million per year. However, new findings show that taking antibiotics is often counterproductive, because E.coli bacteria in biofilm and urothelium can survive antibiotics in significantly higher concentrations (up to 1,500 times higher). Thus, they are often not reached at all. Instead, antibiotics damage the uro- and intestinal microbiome, which is important for healthy immune function. Biofilm formation is promoted and antibiotic resistance continues to increase.

Welcome to the vicious circle!

So what’s
the deal
with

Let’s get physical.

How it works: Cyscover® is applied as an ultra-thin, transparent cover before sex, foreplay or other physical intimacy to the perineal and anal area and serves as an invisible physical barrier.

FAQ

What is Cyscover®?

Cyscover® is a globally novel approach in the field of intimate care. Not indirectly beforehand. Not medicated afterwards.

For the first time, Cyscover® pursues a physical approach designed for use directly during sex, fundamentally setting itself apart from existing solutions on the market.

The ultra-thin, transparent cover was developed from personal experience and internationally patented in 2020. Developed by a woman — for women.

How does Cyscover® work?

Without any chemical active ingredients, purely through its physical barrier. Cyscover® is simply applied as an ultra-thin, transparent and highly flexible cover to the perineal and anal area before sex, foreplay or similar intimacy. The natural microbiome of the skin area is temporarily covered.

Why is Cyscover® more than a cover?
Cyscover® is about lifestyle as our overall health is shaped by our daily lives. When it comes to our health, our lifestyle choices and our awareness of our bodies are the most powerful forces we have. As well as being a temporary skin cover, at Cyscover® we believe we are ambassadors and cheerleaders for better health. As ambassadors, we shine a light on a taboo issue affecting women all around the world. We are creating an environment for awareness and education, openness and improved understanding to enable better solutions and care for the far too many of us suffering from honeymoon cystitis and UTIs. We are cheerleaders of your self-confidence! Nobody has a better sense of your body and your health than you—so it’s important you understand it. With Cyscover® we want to empower you to know your body better.
Are there any active ingredients in Cyscover®?
No, none (except love and passion)! Cyscover® is free of active agents and is solely a physical barrier made from dermatologically tested ultra-thin polyurethane film with high skin compatibility. Suitable for use by all skin types.
What precautions should I take when using Cyscover®?
Cyscover® is designed for external use only and must not be inserted into any bodily orifices. The cover should not be applied to broken skin and is not intended for use on mucous membranes. Cyscover® does not prevent pregnancy or STIs.
I have sensitive skin, can Cyscover® be used by all skin types?
Cyscover® is free of parabens, fragrances and alcohol, making it suitable for even highly sensitive skin. Created to solve a universal issue, Cyscover® is suitable for use by all skin types, ages and genders, especially women prone to cystitis.
How long can I leave Cyscover® on?
Cyscover® is for single use only. It can be worn comfortably for several hours. Because it was created to be as stress free as possible, there’s no need to rush off to the bathroom, however we do recommend removing and disposing of Cyscover® after sexual intercourse. After all, you don’t need it anymore.
When and how do I apply Cyscover®?
For the most effective results we recommend applying Cyscover® to clean, dry and unbroken skin before sex. Cyscover® has been developed and tested for easy and fast application. Simply apply it and then focus on enjoying yourself. We want to help prevent UTIs, not ruin the mood! Each Cyscover® package contains an easy 4-step guide to help you apply the cover correctly. Feel free to use a mirror and see yourself from a whole new perspective! This can be very helpful, especially the first times you use Cyscover®.
How do I remove Cyscover®?
Cyscover® can be removed at any time by simply pulling it off with your fingers. The easiest way is to pick one of the corners with your fingertip and gently pull. Once removed, you can dispose of Cyscover® in your regular household waste.
Is Cyscover® waterproof?
As long as it is applied to clean, dry and unbroken skin, Cyscover® is waterproof.
Can I use Cyscover® with other products?
There are no active ingredients in Cyscover® so it can be combined with other products without any concerns. However, you should be careful when using lubes and sex toys as these can damage the wafer-thin film and potentially reduce the strength of the adhesive, making Cyscover® less effective.
I am pregnant/breastfeeding. Can I still use Cyscover®?
Yes! There are no active ingredients so you can safely use Cyscover® when you are pregnant and/or breastfeeding. If you do have any concerns we recommend speaking to your doctor or gynaecologist first.
Does Cyscover® provide 100% protection against cystitis?

No. We cannot give you that 100% promise any more than cranberry juice, D-mannose, vaccines or other products can. Simply honest and transparent — because that promise does not exist. The human body is a complex and highly individual system that first needs to be understood in order to recognize and better respond to possible challenges.

With Cyscover®, you have, for the first time, the possibility to physically, gently and easily cover the skin area between anus and vagina directly during sex. As shown repeatedly in studies, a woman’s own E.coli gut bacteria are associated with up to 90% of urinary tract infections. Due to the short anatomical distances, these bacteria can easily move during sex from the anal area across the vaginal region towards the urethra.

The common advice to urinate shortly after sex is based on the idea that bacteria which may have already entered the urethra could potentially still be flushed out before attaching themselves to the mucous membranes.

I heard E.coli bacteria can hide in the bladder wall. Can Cyscover® help in this case?

Recent studies suggest that already migrated E.coli bacteria may hide within the bladder wall and protect themselves through a biofilm.

Cyscover® cannot eliminate bacteria that have already migrated or ask them politely to leave again. Fair play. Interestingly, studies found that even antibiotics are often unable to fully do so.

Still, you may know the desire to approach your body more consciously and gently, especially during sensitive phases. That is exactly where Cyscover® comes in: with its purely physical approach as an intimate care cover. Ultra-thin, flexible and without chemical active ingredients.

Many women report that Cyscover® helps them feel more relaxed and at ease again during intimate moments.

Who is behind Cyscover®?

A once quietly desperate but deeply curious woman in her mid-30s who no longer wanted to settle for the existing options on the market and, out of personal necessity, decided to invent a product herself.

Researched, developed, designed, optimized and ultimately successfully filed for international patent protection in 2020, she now wants to share this new possibility with the women experiencing the very same struggle. And one thing is certain: there are far too many of us.
