Underwear and Lingerie Manufacturing Clusters in China

China’s export-oriented underwear manufacturers are largely concentrated in the country’s primary textile production centers; Guangdong Province, Fujian Province, and Zhejiang Province.

If you intend to visit manufacturers in Mainland China, you are likely to find yourself in one of the following cities:

• Quanzhou, Fujian
• Jinjiang, Fujian
• Shantou, Guangdong
• Guangzhou, Guangdong
• Dongguan, Guangdong
• Zhongshan, Guangdong
• Yiwu, Zhejiang

Qualifying Manufacturers

Underwear and lingerie is, in relative terms not a very capital intensive industry. Manufacturers in such ‘low value added’ industries then to be rather unsophisticated, thereby requiring a rigid Quality Assurance (QA) process, managed by the buyer.

The first step of the QA process is, as explained below, to draft a comprehensive product specification. There are, however, certain useful signals for qualifying Underwear and Lingerie Manufacturers:

• Business Scope (As specified on the manufacturers business license)
• Registered Capital (As specified on the manufacturers business license)
• Substance Test Reports (i.e., REACH and Oeko Tex Standard 100)
• Quality Management System / Production Lines Audit Reports (i.e., ISO :)
• Social Compliance Certification / Audit Reports (i.e., Sedex and BSCI)
• Environmental Audit Reports (i.e., ISO series)

What to Include in your Underwear Techpack

a. Design Drawing

The product design can either be based on an existing ODM SKU or an OEM specification. While you may submit, or submit, reference samples – they are only complementary to the design drawing. These are your options:

• OEM: Design drawing submitted by the buyer
• ODM: Design drawing submitted by the supplier

The design drawing must include all design elements and dimensions.

b. Reference sample

A reference sample is either provided by the supplier (when buying ODM products), or the buyer (when buying an OEM product). As mentioned, the reference sample is only complementary to, and not a replacement for, a design drawing.

c. Fabric

The most straightforward method is to order fabric samples, or complete units, from the supplier. The buyer can then freely select the material of choice from the supplier’s standard catalog. Another method is to submit fabric samples, that the supplier can match with fabric from their own standard catalog – or, in rare cases, weave the fabric entirely according to the specifications of the buyer.

d. Size Table

The size table is an appendix of the design drawing, listing dimensions for each size. ODM products can also be customized by adjusting the size table accordingly. The size table must also be complemented with dimensional tolerance

e. Labels

Underwear and lingerie are subject to general textiles labelling requirements. Said labeling requirements differ between markets, and buyers are unwise to assume that the supplier is aware of the specific requirements in your market. Hence, you must provide ‘ready-made’ graphical files (.aiformat) to the supplier. Include the following:

• Label dimensions (i.e., 15 x 30 mm)
• Country of Origin (required in the United States)
• Washing Instructions and/or symbols
• Batch ID
• Logo / Website

The label can be printed on a double folded polyester patch, or directly on the inside fabric.

Product Samples

You should order samples from at least 4 manufacturers. The fail rate (i.e., the number of suppliers that fail to produce acceptable product samples) is normally around 50%. Hence, you need at least a handful suppliers making samples based on your techpack.

Below follows a few examples of what tends to go wrong:

• Incorrect material
• Bad seams
• Bad fit
• Incorrect / missing prints and labels

Quality Assurance

a. Common Quality Issues

Quality issues in textile manufacturing often stem from an incomplete or conflicting product specification. Below follows a list of common quality issues when buying Underwear and Lingerie:

• Incorrect dimensions
• Incorrect component position (i.e., double fabric)
• Incorrect / low quality materials
• Incomplete seam lines
• Dirty and damages

b. Quality Control

The purpose of the quality inspection is to defect quality issues before the produce is packed and shipped. When buying Underwear and Lingerie from Chinese manufacturers, you must draft a Quality Inspection protocol including the following procedures:

• Visual Inspection (i.e., Dirt, damages, seams and printed labels)
• Dimensions (i.e. Double fabric length)
• Fabric (i.e., Weight and Washing)

Regulations and Compliance Testing

Underwear and lingerie are subject to various substance regulations in major markets, primarily the United States and the European Union. Depending on your market, you need to ensure compliance with one or more of the following:

a. REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and restriction of Chemicals)

Country / Market: The European Union

Description: REACH restricts the content of restricted SVHC (Substance of very high concern) in textiles, and other consumer products, sold within the European Union. The list of SVHC includes hundreds of substances, including lead, cadmium, and formaldehyde.

b. California Proposition 65

Country / Market: California, United States

Description: California Proposition 65 restricts more than 800 substances in consumer products. Products must either be compliant (i.e., proven rid of all restricted substances) or labeled accordingly. If your company is based in California, or if you intend to sell to buyers in the state, you must ensure compliance.

c. FHSA (The Federal Hazardous Substances Act)

Country / Market: United States (All states)

Description: FHSA restricts various substances classified as, for example, irritants or strong sensitizers. This includes, among other substances, formaldehyde – a substance used by some textile manufacturers. The full list of mandatory bans and restrictions are available on CPSC.gov.

Not all pajamas are made equal—let’s explore the highest-rated brands and what makes a great pair of pajamas.

What are the best rated women’s pajamas?

Customer reviews and expert recommendations help determine the top pajama brands. But which ones stand out?

The highest-rated women’s pajamas come from brands like Eberjey, Lunya, and Lake Pajamas. These brands offer soft, breathable fabrics, stylish designs, and long-lasting quality.

Satin sleepwear set

Top Women’s Pajama Brands

Brand Best For Fabric Highlights Eberjey Soft, elegant loungewear Modal, Tencel, organic cotton Lunya Luxury silk sleepwear Washable silk Soma Cooling and moisture-wicking Bamboo, modal blends Lake Pajamas Classic and preppy styles 100% Pima cotton Skims Modern and body-hugging Stretchy modal and jersey

Why These Brands Are Popular

• Eberjey & Lake Pajamas are known for their ultra-soft fabrics and timeless designs.
• Lunya specializes in high-end, machine-washable silk pajamas .
• Soma’s Cool Nights collection is perfect for hot sleepers, offering moisture-wicking materials.

The best-rated pajamas combine softness, durability, and stylish comfort.

Is it better to sleep in cotton or silk pajamas?

Cotton and silk are two of the most popular pajama fabrics, but which one is better for sleep?

Cotton pajamas are breathable, lightweight, and great for everyday wear. Silk pajamas regulate temperature, feel luxurious, and offer skin benefits. Cotton is better for casual comfort, while silk is ideal for a smooth, cooling sleep experience.

Cotton vs. Silk: Which Is Best for Sleeping?

Feature Cotton Pajamas Silk Pajamas Breathability High Moderate Temperature Regulation Good for warm climates Adapts to body heat Skin Benefits Soft, but absorbs moisture Reduces friction, prevents wrinkles Maintenance Easy to wash Requires delicate care Price Affordable Expensive

When to Choose Cotton Pajamas

• If you want affordable, breathable, and easy-to-wash sleepwear.
• If you live in a warm climate and prefer lightweight pajamas.

When to Choose Silk Pajamas

• If you want a luxurious feel and skin benefits.
• If you need temperature-regulating sleepwear for hot and cold nights.

Both fabrics have their advantages, but the best choice depends on your comfort needs.

Are silk pajamas worth it?

Silk pajamas are considered a luxury, but are they really worth the investment?

Yes, silk pajamas are worth it if you value comfort, luxury, and skin benefits. Silk is temperature-regulating, hypoallergenic, and reduces friction on the skin and hair, preventing wrinkles and hair breakage. However, they require delicate care and are more expensive than other fabrics.

Why Silk Pajamas Are Worth It

1. Temperature Control: Keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer.
2. Skin & Hair Benefits: Reduces friction, preventing wrinkles and frizzy hair.
3. Luxurious Feel: Soft, smooth, and elegant.
4. Hypoallergenic: Resistant to dust mites and allergens.

Downsides of Silk Pajamas

Disadvantage Why It Matters Expensive Costs more than cotton or bamboo pajamas. Delicate Care Requires hand washing or special detergent. Less Stretch May feel restrictive compared to cotton or modal.

Silk pajamas are an investment in comfort and skin health. If budget isn’t a concern, they’re a great addition to any sleepwear collection.

What makes a good pajama?

Not all pajamas are comfortable or durable. What should you look for in a high-quality pair?

A good pajama is made from breathable, soft, and moisture-wicking fabric. It should fit comfortably without restricting movement. Features like elastic waistbands, tag-free labels, and reinforced stitching add to overall comfort.

Features of a High-Quality Pajama

1. Soft & Breathable Fabric: Cotton, bamboo, modal, or silk.
2. Comfortable Fit: Not too tight, with enough room for movement.
3. Moisture-Wicking Properties: Helps keep you cool and dry.
4. Stretch & Flexibility: Some elasticity for a better fit.
5. Durability: Strong stitching, high-quality material.

Pajama Must-Have Features

Feature Why It’s Important Elastic Waistband Provides comfort and flexibility. Flat Seams Prevents skin irritation. Moisture-Wicking Fabric Keeps skin dry and cool. Tag-Free Labels Reduces itching and discomfort.

A great pajama set should feel good on the skin, regulate temperature, and be easy to care for.

What fabric is anti-wrinkle?

Some fabrics wrinkle easily, while others maintain a smooth look. Which ones resist wrinkles the best?

The best anti-wrinkle fabrics for pajamas include bamboo, modal, polyester blends, and silk. These fabrics drape well and resist creases, making them ideal for low-maintenance sleepwear.

Best Wrinkle-Resistant Pajama Fabrics

Fabric Wrinkle Resistance Benefits Bamboo High Soft, breathable, moisture-wicking Modal High Silky, eco-friendly, holds shape well Polyester Blends High Durable, budget-friendly, easy care Silk Moderate Luxurious, smooth, naturally draping

How to Keep Pajamas Wrinkle-Free

• Choose wrinkle-resistant fabrics like bamboo and modal.
• Fold or hang pajamas neatly instead of leaving them crumpled.
• Use a fabric steamer for silk or delicate fabrics.

For the easiest maintenance, opt for bamboo or modal pajamas—they stay smooth and soft after every wash.

Conclusion

The best women’s pajama brands, like Eberjey and Lunya, offer high-quality sleepwear with breathable and comfortable fabrics. Cotton and silk are top choices, each offering unique benefits. Silk pajamas provide luxury and skin benefits, while cotton is affordable and breathable. When choosing sleepwear, look for soft fabrics, a comfortable fit, and moisture-wicking properties for the best sleep experience.
