I am about launch a line of nursing bras for women that are not available in retail platforms. It would be at a price point that women could buy multiple pairs without breaking the bank.
So here's the deal, I know that many people are going to say that this is naive or that I have no idea what I am talking about. But I have actually been a mother who had to buy one of these to feed my baby and I also work in a NICU and see so many mothers who struggle to meet ends meet and just use regular bras that do not have support or features to prevent leakage.
I guess if you have never breastfeed you wouldn't get it. I want a comfortable, affordable ones including front open bras with nipple covers for added protection. I feel that this maybe something that many retailers miss out on. So here is the challenge, I need to use fabrics that are safe for baby and mother both. But really for baby.
Because the item will be touching the mothers skin and so it has to be something that does not transfer any sort of chemical residue to the baby's mouth. I think this is self explanatory. So if I am sourcing in wholesale amounts from a site like Alibaba, or AliExpress which I probably won't, but I am doing suppleir research right now, so I will be exploring this avenue.
What kind of questions besides the obviously should I be asking. For example, I know I need to ask about certifications like OEKO-TEX Standard 100 and GOTS for organic cotton. And something called REAH complicance but for someone who has worked with overseas suppliers what is the norm when it comes to chemical finishes, dyes, and certifications?
For people who have sourced items like these from abroad what kind of details did you ask?
