Patent Question

I have a product that I would like to have manufactured. I've identified
China as the best place to have it made and have a list of potential
manufacturers. I know what I want the product to look like, but I would
like to have some input from the manufacturer. I don't have a patent for
the product or the idea. How much should I share with the potential
manufacturers? Do I need a patent? I know you don't recommend wasting time
on a patent, John, but I'm still a little bit nervous about sharing my idea.
Would appreciate any input from anyone. Thanks, Kim
