A urinary meatus shielding device for preventing urinary tract infections includes a panel that is finely meshed so that the panel is configured to prevent passage of a microorganism through the panel. A first coupler is coupled to a first side of the panel so that the panel is configured to couple to a pelvic region of a female user. The panel is positioned over an external urethral orifice of the user to prevent the microorganism from entering a urethra of the user.
