The answer

The cure for obsessive doubts (waswasah) is to completely disregard them and not to follow their jurisprudential ramifications. As for selling hygiene supplies for bathrooms, this does not fall under prohibited assistance in sin. This is because building, selling, and buying a bathroom, even if it involves exposure of 'awrah (private parts), is considered tanzihi (reprehensible, but not strictly forbidden) by the majority of scholars, not (forbidden), due to people's need for it. Consequently, selling hygiene supplies to public establishments is permissible.
