Menstrual Pants OEM: Materials and Core Options by Market
Menstrual pants OEM covers a wide range of wording, but on this page it means a disposable nonwoven brief built to a written specification. Washable knitted period underwear is a different product and a different supply chain. The subject here is the component list: topsheet, backsheet, core and packing, each recorded as a selectable option.
Options are declared, not advertised. A component row in the brief says which option was chosen and who chose it; it does not carry a performance claim. That makes the same table usable for a hot-climate market, a retail chain with its own packaging rules, or a buyer running a second range under a different label.
| Component | Option code | Declared by | Where recorded |
|---|---|---|---|
| C-01 topsheet | Code from available range | Buyer technical contact | Brief section 1 |
| C-02 backsheet | Code from available range | Buyer technical contact | Brief section 1 |
| C-03 core | Code from available range | Both parties | Brief section 2 |
| C-04 waistband | Code from available range | Both parties | Brief section 2 |
| C-05 inner pack | Code from available range | Buyer merchandising | Artwork sheet |
| C-06 outer carton | Code from available range | Buyer logistics | Carton plan |
Why components are listed as option codes
A code identifies one construction choice without needing a descriptive paragraph attached to it. C-01 to C-06 cover the six rows we record for a standard brief. Codes survive translation into artwork, order sheets and carton marks, and they let two buyers order the same build under entirely different retail wording.
When a buyer sends a competitor pack as a reference, we map the visible features to codes and return the mapping for confirmation. We do not copy the pack's claims into our brief. The returned mapping becomes part of the project file, with the original reference attached for traceability.
Topsheet and backsheet choices by market
C-01 and C-02 are usually discussed together because the two surfaces are felt as a pair. A buyer selling into a hot, humid market may select a different combination from a buyer supplying a cooler region, even when the rest of the brief is identical. We record the reason for the choice as a short note, not as a product claim.
The note is useful at repeat ordering. If a second order arrives a year later with a different code, the project file shows whether the change was intentional or a transcription slip. That is the practical value of keeping a declared reason beside each code.
Core and waistband rows in the same section
C-03 and C-04 sit in section 2 of the materials brief because they are decided jointly. A change to one can require a check on the other, and separating them across documents has caused avoidable rework in past projects. Both rows are signed off in the same exchange.
Neither row carries an absorbency value. Absorbency tiers are handled in the size and absorbency brief, which is a different document with its own field codes. This split keeps a component change from silently rewriting a tier declaration, and vice versa.
Inner pack and outer carton as declared fields
C-05 and C-06 are recorded on the artwork sheet and the carton plan respectively. They cover pack format, pack count field, closure type, carton quantity field and marking layout. These are Logistics and merchandising decisions, so the named owner on the buyer side is usually not the technical contact.
Print approval checks C-05 against the confirmed brief before any plate is ordered. A mismatch found after printing is expensive and entirely avoidable. The check is a simple field-by-field comparison, which is why the codes exist in the first place.
The written declaration attached to an option
Every selected code is accompanied by a one-line declaration stating that the buyer chose it and that the choice is recorded under the current brief version. The declaration is a traceability record, not a certificate and not a test result. It does not reference any external standard or approval body.
If the buyer needs documentation for their own import file, we provide the component list as recorded, including the codes, the brief version and the change notes. Anything beyond that list is handled as a separate document request rather than added to the page copy or the quotation text.
Related specification documents
The materials brief links to the size and absorbency brief, the zone record sheet and the carton plan. Each document owns its own field codes, so a change in one does not require a rewrite of the others. Links are recorded by document name and version, not by a shared free-text description.
Buyers starting from an existing range can supply their current component list instead of filling a blank brief. We transcribe it into C-01 to C-06 and send it back for confirmation. That is usually the fastest route to a comparable first sample.
How a component change is logged
A component change starts with one row and one code. The buyer names the code to be changed, the replacement option and the reason in a single line. That line becomes a change note against the current materials brief version, and the brief is reissued with the new version number. Nothing else in the document is rewritten.
The reissue triggers two checks. The sample request is reviewed to see whether the changed row affects a specimen already built, and the artwork sheet is checked for any wording that refers to that component. Most component changes leave artwork untouched, but the check is recorded either way, because an unrecorded check is indistinguishable from a check that never happened.
For buyers running several markets, one change note per market is cleaner than a combined instruction. Two ranges may share a brief structure while choosing different C-01 or C-02 options, and separate notes keep each range's history readable. The option codes themselves stay the same across markets, which is the point of using codes rather than descriptive names.
