Are you taking antibiotics?

Yes, it's fine to use your divacup. I've used mine while suffering from a UTI. It's a little uncomfortable, though, because it does press against the bladder.

For future reference, better honey than vinegar. =/

Our UTI FAQ (http://community.livejournal.com/vaginapagina/6881731.html) does say that using diaphragms can contribute to the infection by pressing on the urethra; but I would think that since you're on a pretty strong antibiotic regimen (Cipro is a pretty tough antibiotic) that it should be okay. That's just my very non-medical opinion, however.
