Advice for your customers
What customers can do to help avoid the recurrence of thrush
- Wear loose clothing and cotton underwear - avoid synthetic underwear and nylon tights
- Shower, wash or bathe immediately after exercising and cool off as quickly as possible
- Use non-fragranced soaps and shower gels, avoid douching and feminine hygiene sprays. You could recommend the use of products from the Care by Canesten range
- Avoid friction in the vaginal area as this can cause candida to thrive. This can happen in situations such as:
- Scrubbing the genital area hard with sponges or flannels
- Trauma of sexual intercourse, often due to vaginal dryness. Suggest the customer uses a lubricant
- Inserting a tampon
- Try to avoid stressful situations - stress can cause a thrush attack.
