General information

Short Summary
A Copenhagen-based consumer brand is looking for an underwear manufacturer to help develop a shapewear-looking brief with incorporated heating pads to alleviate menstrual pain. They are looking for a manufacturer who can start with small order volumes and improve the design and quality of their prototype.
Full Description
The newly established Copenhagen-based Danish brand has designed shapewear-formed briefs that provide heating and comfort for women during their menstruation. The product aims to heat relevant lower body areas and relieve menstruation pain. A functional prototype has been developed and tested. The functionality is good, but the design and quality do not fulfill the requirements. They are, therefore, looking for a manufacturer who also focuses on the elements of design and quality before manufacturing in higher volumes.

They are looking for a long-term partnership with a manufacturer specializing in underwear, preferably with experience within the shapewear industry. The partner should help develop the perfect prototype with the heating elements incorporated into the shapewear. All heating elements will be provided. As the product is still developing, they wish to collaborate with low minimum order quantities (MOQ) manufacturers and smaller ateliers. Suppliers with expertise within the heating pad area are also highly welcome for collaboration.
Advantages and Innovations
The product addresses a strong market need for women to gain relief from menstruation pain.
The prototype has a high functionality and works effectively, encouraging market uptake.
