Women’s briefs are one of Sri Lanka’s biggest garment exports, at about US$467 million in 2025. Factories that make intimates for international brands produce briefs in high volumes, from everyday cotton multipacks to lace and seamless styles.

Styles

• Bikini, hipster, brief, high-waist and thong cuts
• Cotton and modal everyday basics, often in multipacks
• Lace and microfibre fashion styles
• Seamless knitted briefs
• Period briefs with absorbent layers, where the factory has the capability

Multipacks

Basics are often sold in packs of three or five. Packing, pack labels and barcodes can be done in the factory.

How made-to-order works

Sri Lankan garment factories make clothing for many well-known international brands, and they work to the buyer’s design. You send a tech pack, sketches or a reference garment; the factory develops a sample; you approve fit, fabric and finish; and the bulk order is made to the approved sample. Your labels, tags and packing are applied in the factory.

Minimum order per style and colour depends on the factory and the fabric. Larger factories work in thousands of pieces; mid-size factories take smaller runs. We match your order size to a factory that fits it, and confirm minimum, sample cost, lead time and price with the quote.
