Okay, we all know that margins are important if you’re thinking about building a business. So here I am, trying to find a vendor. I learned that I need to filter by a specific town in China because apparently producers are everywhere in the country, which is huge, and they each have their specialties. I know this may sound obvious, but it wasn’t for me.

What am I looking for? Well, I have two babies under two. In the past three years my body shape changed a LOT, and I wanted underwear to be my best friend through all of that journey. Couldn’t find anything like that. Here I am, starting to create a bestie for that kind of time. And why not, for all kinds of shapes, women who seek good underwear that still makes you look kind of sexy — unlike my grandma’s underwear — and most important, we can use it no matter what shape you’re in right now.

Today I’m looking to find production samples, someone who gets what I built in my mind as the underwear I want as my friend, so I can share it with the world.
