There are plenty of self care tips that to pass on to customers to help them maintain good intimate health:
Only use plain, unperfumed soaps, rather than perfumed products, on the vaginal area
Change tampons and sanitary pads frequently
After going to the toilet, wipe from front to back to avoid transferring bacteria to the vaginal area
Change underwear after swimming or going to the gym.
In addition, the following advice can be passed onto women suffering from specific conditions:
Vaginal dryness – customers may want to discuss hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with their GP
Thrush – avoid tight-fitting underwear/tights and wear cotton rather than synthetic underwear. If a customer has diabetes, keeping blood sugar under control may help
Cystitis – drink plenty of water. A hot water bottle held against the stomach may help. Cranberry juice and cranberry supplements may also be beneficial for the urinary tract. Avoid tight-fitting underwear and tights and wear cotton rather than synthetic underwear
BV – avoid washing out the vagina (douching) or using strong detergents to wash underwear.
