The word to refer to ladies and the female gender in Chinese is: 女 (nǚ). So, when you search for items online, you can simply add the word “女” to filter out what you’re looking for.

Besides, you will often notice the character 装 (zhuāng), “clothing” or “costume”, added to 女 (nǚ) to refer to “women’s clothing”: 女装 (nǚzhuāng)
