Chat Now"Feminine hygiene" sounds like one category. It isn't — it's pads, liners, pants, and postpartum, each with its own SAP logic and its own buyer. Before you brief a factory, map the range, because the factory will assume you know which you mean. Most vague briefs fail at this step.
ODM gets you a developed product to label; OEM gets you a build to your spec. Both need the range mapped first. Here's the map and the checklist.
The product map
| Product | Job | Key spec lever |
|---|---|---|
| Sanitary pad (day) | Daily flow | Topsheet feel, moderate SAP |
| Sanitary pad (night) | Overnight | Higher SAP, length, wing |
| Panty liner | Between days | Thin, low SAP |
| Period pants | Disposable overnight | SAP load, waistband |
| Postpartum | After birth | High SAP, larger |
Custom options, by effort
- Easy (no tooling): SAP load, topsheet, backsheet, pack print. The fast wins.
- Medium (tooling): pad length/width, wing shape, emboss. New die or roller.
- Structural: pant shape, postpartum form factor. New mold, real commitment.
Buyer checklist before you brief
- Which products in the range — name them, don't say "hygiene."
- OEM or ODM — do you have a spec, or pick from theirs?
- Absorbency target per product, in ml.
- Size grid and market (climate decides backsheet).
- Pack format and per-market regulatory text.
- Volumes and the realistic floor.
- What test report you'll require (GB/T 8939, tied to your spec).
Questions buyers actually ask
Do I need the whole range to start?
No — most start with a day and night pad, add liner and pants as repeat shows. But map all of it in the brief so the factory prices the program, not just the first SKU. Our napkin line and pants line show the pieces.
OEM or ODM for a first timeline?
ODM is faster — pick from a developed range and label it. Move to OEM once volume justifies tooling for your own spec. Many buyers do both across the range.
What test report covers the range?
GB/T 8939 covers pads and liners; pants follow similar hygiene logic. Require a current report tied to each product's spec, not a shared stock SKU.
