            "content": "Hello,\n\nI am launching a women's menstrual underwear brand in Saudi Arabia and am\nlooking for a manufacturing partner to develop a custom short-leg boyshort\nproduct.\n\nThe product is intended for use with standard winged sanitary pads, with an\nadditional leak-resistant protection system.\n\nFor the initial development, I need only four custom samples in sizes S, M,\nL, and XL, with no bulk production commitment.\n\nMy target budget is SAR 1,000\u20133,000, preferably including pattern\ndevelopment and shipping to Saudi Arabia.\n\nCould you please confirm:\n\n1. Can you develop four custom prototypes from an initial product brief?\n2. Do you have experience with leak-resistant menstrual underwear?\n3. What is the estimated total sampling cost and lead time?\n4. Can you sign a mutual NDA before receiving detailed construction\nspecifications?\n5. Will I own the custom patterns and technical files developed for my\nproduct?\n6. What would be your minimum order quantity if we proceed to production\nlater?\n\nThank you. I look forward to your response.\n\nBest regards",

To proceed with evaluating your project, I need to gather some specific information:\n\n1. **Product Category:** You've mentioned a custom short-leg boyshort product. Could you confirm if this falls under the category of underwear?\n2. **Tech Pack or Physical Sample:** Do you have a Tech Pack or a Physical Sample that you can provide for this product?\n3. **Quantities:** While you mentioned needing four samples, could you clarify the intended production quantities per style if you decide to proceed with bulk production later?\n4. **Target Price:** You've provided a budget range in SAR. Could you specify your maximum target production price per unit in euros for the bulk production phase?\n5. **Desired Delivery Timeline:** What is your desired delivery timeline for the bulk production, considering our minimum lead time of 5 full calendar months?\n\nRegarding your specific questions:\n\n- We typically develop one sample per style for initial approval. Further samples are only made after the bulk order is placed.\n- We can discuss the NDA and ownership of patterns once the initial commercial viability is confirmed.\n- Our minimum order quantity for underwear is 1,000 units per style and per colour.\n\nPlease provide the above details so we can better assess your project and guide you on the next steps.\n\nBest regards.",

            "content": "Dear Matilde,\n\nThank you for your detailed response.\n\nYes, the product falls under the women\u2019s underwear category. It is a custom\nmenstrual boyshort designed for use with disposable sanitary pads.\n\nWe currently have an initial product development brief and preliminary\nconcept illustrations, but not a finalized technical pack or physical\nsample.\n\nAt this stage, our priority is product development and testing. We require\nfour prototypes in sizes S, M, L, and XL before considering any bulk\nproduction.\n\nWe have not yet finalized our future production quantities or target unit\nprice, as these will depend on prototype testing, material selection, and\nmanufacturing costs. We understand your minimum order quantity is 1,000\nunits per style and colour, and your minimum bulk production lead time is\nfive calendar months.\n\nCould you please confirm whether you offer a standalone, paid prototype\ndevelopment service for four samples without any commitment to bulk\nproduction?\n\nIf so, we would appreciate an estimated sampling cost, development\ntimeline, and confirmation of whether confidentiality and design ownership\nterms can be agreed before sharing detailed technical drawings.\n\nThank you again for your time.\n\nBest regards\n\n\nOn Sun, 8 Nov 2026 at 2:52\u202fpm, Matilde Azevedo \nwrote:\n\n> Hello,\n>\n> Thank you for reaching out and considering us for your manufacturing\n> needs.
