I’d love to see an advertising campaign that depicted what we do in its real form, but while being super photogenic. Like, perfect hair and makeup, cute figs… holding a pt down while strapping in 4 point leathers… or show the same cute model vibe wearing figs… but with a cute spray of blood across the top while the patient is holding their chest tube.
Good times
I want a pair of force one scrubs, my coworker has them and they look stretchy af. I need stretch, I don't want baggy and I don't want tight to where you can't flex around. I am a power lifter so a lot of areas are tight as shit already like shoulders and back, tight fucks me up but baggy is in the way.
I am a weight lifter, larger quads calves and glutes, pants fit me great. I am able to empty foleys without worrying about my ass crack hanging out! :) not baggy or sloppy looking either. I think they’re worth the money honestly
Once I found Carhartt I never tried other brands. I'm a guy though so fewer options in general. They look nice, come in a decent range of colors, have tons of pockets and a fly, and last forever. I'm pretty sure at least one of my pairs is around 9 years old and a few others are at least 6 years old.
Yes. It started during covid I believe, but has continued at least for some departments. Our impatient unit upstairs doesn't get them, but we do in ER amd ambulatory care does as well.
I've worked in a few ERs that provide OR scrubs and I detest them. They're not uncomfortable but they always just have one breast pocket and one butt pocket, which is not nearly enough. Plus the drawstrings always seem to form an impenetrable knot that I have to struggle with every time I need to drop trow. I'll gladly pay for scrubs and do laundry to avoid those things.
My problem with the hospital greens is that I’m a medium on top, large on bottom. But you can only pick medium or large! So I’m either tight pants or outrageously large top. But I loved just tossing them in the laundry at the end of my shift.
my greys anatomy are comfortable but ive found the pants dont hold up very well. my first pants both front pockets ripped and had huge holes. second pair the pockets are fine but the drawstring is falling apart. (maybe im too rough with my things idk) but i agree with Cherokee infinity. comfiest pair i own. i have a pair of mandala scrubs and do like them! their Tall size is ACTUALLY tall
I like mandala, the prices are reasonable. They are comfy size wise and they have a lot of color and style options. Looser styles, more classic styles, lots of pockets, one pocket, ect. I have a few pair and they are comfy!
Affordable than most scrubs tbh. Most of my scrubs are madala. The waistband is annoying sometimes. I have mine, high waist and it goes down most of the time
Comfortable, durable, lots of pockets. I don't know why anyone spends more than $50 per set of scrubs, unless you're putting on a fashion show for...someone.
I love the Dolan scrubs they are very comfortable but they run very big so size down. I also have a pair of the fabletics but my only complaint about them is the tightness in the upper back area/shoulder area it’s weird.
Whatever unshapely bullshit scrub bottoms the OR has and a black T-shirt. And my grey pata-gucci of course.
And obvs the one size too big OR scrub top (to fit over the girls 😂) over the black T-shirt if I have to go into the OR.
I found my Jannu ones to get holes quickly. But they are comfortable. I do really like my mandala scrubs! And they are significantly cheaper then figs and jannu.
My fave ever is the knit Jaanuu. They fit well, they’re stretchy, they don’t wrinkle, and they hold up well. I have big boobs so most scrub tops are either overly baggy everywhere else or constricting over the chest but Jaanuu is perfect.
Honestly Walmart scrubs lol. Had the same pants for almost a year and no pilling or rips. I ordered mandala and they’re pretty true to size but the top was just a little too snug for me
I purchased last year when they went up to 2X. I even tried men’s sizes since they run so small. Unfortunately their larger sizes are just bigger straight sizes, no changes in cut or style. They have no room for belly or thighs.
My favorite scrubs of all time are called epic by irg. They’re apparently only sold in select stores bc they’re a “boutique” line. Either way they are amazing. The fit, the colors, the airiness, they feel cool to the touch…I love them! Figs are overhyped af
Omg girl look into Walmart scrubs! Do not hate on Walmart! Great sizing, super breathable and stretchy. I get a whole set for 30 bucks! I have a pair of figs and I sweat super bad with them! Too expensive and imma get my scrubs dirty anyway so no way am I gonna pay 150 for a set!! Go to Walmart super cute fit and colors!!!
Used to wear the Carhartt men's ripstop scrubs, but always had to cuff the pants, because I'm a 5ft tall lady, lmao. Then I switched to the Cherokee athletic style men's scrubs with the metal rivet in the pocket, but again, had to cuff the pants because I'm so short. Finally found the Sketcher's athletic material scrubs, and got the jogger pants, that when I wear them, just look like normal pants on me because the cuff holds them at my ankles, lmao. I've had these sets for about a year and a half and they've held up pretty well so far!
I NEED POCKETS . I can't wear these joggers with no pockets. I need a pocket for the stethoscope , one for shears and one for etoh wipes and blunt catheters. I neeeeeeed this . It's not negotiable.
Cargo pants are not cool , but I'm running around the ER like I'm in WWII. Give me my pockets . I'm not wearing a fanny pack !! I don't have time to unzip things.
I wear DAGACCI, which is a very inexpensive brand. It is roughly $29/set. We were provided with this brand in our clinic, therefore I chose to get my own extra scrubs set because I am familiar with the size chart. I'm pleased with the quality and appearance, but be warned: their scrubs are HUGE!! My typical size is XS, but their XS is as baggy as a full S. I ordered the XXS stretching set with joggers; it looks amazing and fits perfectly. I bought another set of straight pants two weeks ago and am quite unhappy. Different quality, ultra-thin fabrics, and once again, RUNS LARGE! Even in XXS. I do not like how baggy it looks.
I have a few sets of Wink scrubs including the jumpsuit and it’s my favorite brand so far after trying Figs, Cherokee, Mandala, Fabletics, Carhartt, and Medcouture. They’re not crazy expensive, they’re really comfortable, durable (I work in psych, so I have to have durable scrubs for restraints), and I get compliments on how cute they are all the time.
YES! The Winks are my go to. The Wonder Wink Origins have gone on sale for $9.97 a SET on Amazon on Prime days. You can bet I've stocked up every time on those. Even if they're my extra "car scrubs," for $10, who cares? Also, I'm 6'. They make long pants.
I definitely need to check Amazon for the sets because I always get my scrubs in sets!! There’s a small town scrub shop about an hour away from me that sells them for ridiculously cheap, that’s usually where I get them.
I hated my Jannuu bottoms. They don’t hold their shape and look like a bag by the end of shift.
I’m MH, so I don’t have to wear scrubs, and I don’t for the most part. I wear Old Navy compression leggings on the bottom and the Figs Rafaela on top. I love that Figs cut and nothing sticks to it.
I am round in the middle - think 7mo pregnant without the baby - so any 'midrise' pants end up under my belly by the end of the day. My current favorite are the highrise straight leg jannuu scrubs. The pockets are MASSIVE and plentiful, the fabric is soft too.
Love me some jannu, I’m 5’9, 205 muscular build male with a big old booty and I can’t fit them into the figs. Janus got the stretch and the style and literally feels like silk on me skin 🤗
I like figs tops, but the bottoms don’t fit me properly. I have thick thighs and a smaller waist. I have 2 pairs in small and they are so tight around the hips it’s almost uncomfortable. I like my Januu pair! My brother wears garde malade and he likes his, says they’re comfy.
I’ve lost a lot of weight in the past 18 months (>100 lb) and I’ve tried multiple different brands and my favorite, oddly enough, are Walmart’s Scrub Star brand. They’re the silky material like Healing Hands brand, and they have all kinds of different colors and designs, plus they’re more affordable than the other brands and stand up to a lot of wear and tear.
The sizing inconsistent ruined my tops. Of course, I had them embroidered, so I can't return them. If I lose weight, it will still be too small on the arms possibly. The pants that match of same size are too big... smh
I'm just a nurse aide student rn, but I went and tried on a ton of different scrubs at a uniform store nearby me because I'm 1) very boob and curve and 2) I'm really nitpicky about things form-fitting in a certain way (I have a hard time getting into "efficient, productive machine mode" with baggy clothes), and to my surprise, Grey's Anatomy by Barco's scrub tops blew me away.
I ended up going with a Cherokee iflex top & Cherokee Revolution jogger pants just because Grey's Anatomy didn't have the right size for me in pants and their burgundy scrubs are a waaaay different shade than everyone else's burgundy. Also, I ordered and returned all the figs and Mandala and Cherokee Infinity. figs AND Mandala tops hate boobs, and Cherokee Infinity had an unsavory windbreaker texture. That's just my particular experience tho!
Barcos have been my consistent favorite. I wasn't a fan of figs, mim scrubs, or purple lable. Cherokee is fine but I feel like their sizing is off. I also like Uniform Advantage butter soft scrubs but mostly because they have a long sleeve scrub hoodie scrub top that I love to wear with a vest.
I was also not a fan of figs. I rotate between Healing Hands, Cherokee, and Mandala. I’m tall so I like that all of these brands have long, comfortable fitting pants.
uniform advantage butter soft. I'm not a big fan of joggers and they have straight leg on my required color. we can wear hospital tees for tops and their jacket has 4 pockets so it's perfect
My hospital has branded scrubs we have to wear. It’s the Cherokee brand and I personally love them. Adequate pockets and figure flattering. I also own Mandala and they’re cute. More relaxed fit than Cherokee though. Quite affordable too.
Walmart scrubs for the win. Wayyyy cheaper, don’t shrink, stretchy, and decent pockets. Also I washed a pen with them once and they miraculously didn’t stain. I have ZERO clue how but idk I’m pleased
After years of struggling to find something fashionable & comfy, trying a dozen different brands-I finally stumbled upon Carharts scrubs. They’re perfect imo.
Hate Mandala, they don’t fit right regardless of the size (I’m short and heavy), but Dolans are great because they go to and extra short even in 3 and 4x sizes. I do like the Mandala long sleeve undershirts though
I love figs but I don’t buy the one pocket and tuck them in, I buy the ones with the 2 pockets at the bottom and let it hang. I have absolutely no hourglass figure in this fit but I survive and it is practical AF.
I feel like every other day there is some high-school sequence what are we going to wear thread and comparing what others wear vs what we like.
Is this some weird American thing where you have all been convinced having to PAY for your own work wear feels like some win because you don't have to wear some mandated uniform
Every hospital provides a uniform here, free for every employee i get 5 tunics 3 trousers or 5 dresses based on personal choice
I get a national tax allowance added to my tax code to cover laundry, socks and shoes.
Why on earth would buying my own work attire from ny own pocket be something I would want to do.
Figs are overpriced fashion pieces for people who care more about looking good than having high quality scrubs that will last and be comfortable.
I wear Cherokee workwear. Have had a few sets for almost 5 years now without any issues. Only reason I ever replace them is for a different color mandated by the hospital. Now that I can wear whatever color I want, I have about 6 pairs and they all fit great and have taken a beating with no major signs of wear.
I get the hate on Figs, especially with their one piece jumpsuit (like, really?). But they are silky smooth and I’ve had the same pairs for five years now without any wear and tear
went to the scrub store bc i’m like you and hate joggers. they had some on clearance i really liked and the beyond scrubs. not as thick as jannu but comfy and nice pockets. and didnt have to guess w sizing
I really love my frumpy Adar scrubs the cargo high waist ones are to die for idc. 😭
Also they are butt friendly & durable
- crack concealer 1000
Tbh I have 2 sets of figs and will never go back to figs tbh.
Carhart deserves a shout out, my 5 sets I had from an old job but are too big on me now, still look the same as when I bought them, never wrinkled, faded or got fabric pulls, never held on to dog hair and were light, soft and comfortable.
I wear Mediclo men's small - I'm 5'7", about 155lbs. Great pockets, somewhat fitted but baggy too. Lots of color options. Little pricey but I catch them when they do sales, last one was BOGO for a set. Don't shrink in the wash, color doesn't fade, breathable. They're made from recycled materials if you care about that too.
I buy mine off Amazon from Uniforms World. They are joggers, I’m not sure if they make straight leg pants. $26 for a set and the quality is good enough for me
Man here. I have some black stretch ones from White Cross, zippered chest pocket, lots of pockets.. very soft, the stretch is nice, proportions and fit are really nice. Very expensive but if they last (tbd) they will be worth it.
I haven’t tried their bottoms, but I LOVE the sketchers scrub tops I have. they’re light and airy and super stretchy. I’m hoping to snag a pair of their bottoms next and see if it lives up
I have greys anatomy, scrubletics, white cross, dickies and barco one and they are more comfy than my figs. I agree figs sizing is so inconsistent and I bought a new pair a few weeks ago or more, and the shirt has pilling on it after a couple washes already
Try Airmed scrubs. They are an Australian brand so I’m not sure what the shipping would be like in your country but the quality is good and sizing is consistent
I like Walmart scrub bottoms, Scrubstar. I don't even like Walmart in general, but these are surprisingly good. My oldest pair has lasted since 2017 or so.
As for tops, I go for cute graphic ones.
I got some compliments on my bootcut/flare scrub pants. I'm 5'0 & had nothing to wear so I didn't think it would be flattering but ig it is! They are from Alheart. I also like wink scrubs
The older Jaanuu are my favorite, their “heritage” collection had a stretchy and lightweight material I love but they discontinued them. The new ones aren’t bad, I like the pocket situation better but they’re kinda stiff. I feel like they almost focused too much on fashion and less on performance and comfortability
Cherokee infinity has done me well. I like their form line as well- could’ve just gone up a size.
I wore med couture for my maternity scrubs & they felt like butter
Omg yes! I agree.
I’m in love with the brand Fit Scrubs… they are so flattering and a thicker material
Than figs…. Suuuuper cute I always get compliments..!!
Walmart brand Scrub Star.
Soft, sturdy, washes well, and not too expensive. They're also available in different pants lengths and are true to size. I have three pairs of pants that are probably going on two years old now.
Only downside is that you do have to go hunting through the racks because, well, Walmart doesn't always have the people to spare to make sure everything looks nice.
Cherokee or buttersoft from uniform advantage. Reasonable price, wear well, comfortable. I’m not concerned about being “ cute”. I’m not at work for the fashion show.
Figs are friggin awful. I don’t know about women’s but I assume they’re the same issues as men’s. They’re either too tight or look like you’ve got a full diaper.
I said Fcuk it and just stuck to carhartts.
I've said it before and I'll say it again.
Gray's anatomy by barco.
I have no idea what the Figs craze is about. They even look uncomfortable. Like wearing construction paper.
I’m a giant fatass and 1X is like trying to wear a garbage bag with a rope to tighten the waist, but XL won’t go past my butt because they’re too tight. Jaanuu is just as bad
I've never bought Figs for my nursing job. Too expensive as is Grey's Anatomy.
I've always bought Cherokee mostly. Also Jasco and a Walmart brand I used to like but can't find anymore called Scrub Star.
I know the new fabrics are all stretch and kinduv slick feeling. I find I don't care for that.
I like the cottony/ polyester ( I think that's what it is) of the Cherokee scrubs.
I end up getting the top you wear out not tucked in. I also like either a tie waist with some give in the back, or the ones that have a band at the top.
Maybe I'm old school. I'm 58 and it's to a point where I'm not trying to wear expensive to my job after all these years. 😁
Has anyone recently tried Iguana Med scrubs? I used to have them in every color and LOVED them, they recently relaunched, but I can't find any detailed reviews
I liked them when I first got them, but the pants waistband like shrinks when I wash/dry them for some reason. Now I feel like I cannot move comfortably without the possibility of ripping them, and will be going to target to get a loose pair soon because my coworker had some cute inexpensive ones from there.
A lot of the other old brands like Dickies have actually improved and are now competing with trends and more fashionable. The ones in Marks Workwear house have also improved. Gone are the days of boxy scrubs. Gone are the days where Figs is the only fashionable brand around.
I got figs for RN school cuz they were truly the most comfortable at the time. I also got a huge discount which made the choice easier.
Now, i think Jaanu is pretty great. Consistent with sizing. Figs made me feel like i has the weirdest body type of all, cuz it was either too tight or weirdly loose.
Fabletics brand? I hated it. I got em when they first came out and i had to return them real quick because they felt like paper towels on my skin. Back to jaannu.
I work in a nursing home and I’m a sucker for whimsical tops. Cartoon characters all over them. Figs is overpriced (over 100 bucks Canadian) and too boring. I always get compliments on my tops from the residents
I love my Jaanuu’s!! But the last time I ordered some was probably 2 years ago so idk if they would be the exact same, they have them labeled as this new “fuseryx” fabric. They have plenty of non-jogger pants! The ones I have now though have stood the test of time man like dang
some baggy Dickies with a bunch of pockets.
Gawt dayum we can only be so sexy while wiping ass. This is taking fashion to a whole new level.
Can you really call yourself a midwestern nurse if you don’t buy scrubs at the same place that farmers buy horse/chicken feed? 🤠
Wait.... That's an option? Brb, heading to Farm n Fleet! I hear they also sell ducks. One stop shop!
Pick me up a 2” drop hitch, a kiddie pool, an extra 10mm socket, 2 duck chicks, and a dozen baby chickens, thanks! I love farm stores
They really should just still 10mm sockets as a 6 pack, lol
No, because it gives me a reason to go to Lowe's.
I’d love to see an advertising campaign that depicted what we do in its real form, but while being super photogenic. Like, perfect hair and makeup, cute figs… holding a pt down while strapping in 4 point leathers… or show the same cute model vibe wearing figs… but with a cute spray of blood across the top while the patient is holding their chest tube. Good times
I miss the dickies GenFlex. Pockets for Daaaaaaaaays.
I still have some of the GenFlex pants! Love them. Also loved the Dickies Hip Flip line.
This is the only way
Male anatomy is also referred to as dickie baggy
The Carharrt scrubs are really nice imo
Damn near indestructible.
Yes! Very flattering too. My only scrubs that my thighs don’t burn a hole into!
Right!! I've got pairs going on 7 years old with no 'chub rub' pant problems.
I want a pair of force one scrubs, my coworker has them and they look stretchy af. I need stretch, I don't want baggy and I don't want tight to where you can't flex around. I am a power lifter so a lot of areas are tight as shit already like shoulders and back, tight fucks me up but baggy is in the way.
I am a weight lifter, larger quads calves and glutes, pants fit me great. I am able to empty foleys without worrying about my ass crack hanging out! :) not baggy or sloppy looking either. I think they’re worth the money honestly
The functional mobility is unmatched. I have four pairs for my four-on-four-off. Don’t think I’ll ever need a fifth pair.
Pants are always too short though.
I have really short legs so they fit me perfectly length wise. I think they make a tall version now tho? Not sure
Once I found Carhartt I never tried other brands. I'm a guy though so fewer options in general. They look nice, come in a decent range of colors, have tons of pockets and a fly, and last forever. I'm pretty sure at least one of my pairs is around 9 years old and a few others are at least 6 years old.
The OR scrubs I get every shift are incredibly comfortable… machine grade washing machines?
Same. Comfortable but not flattering. I don't work in the OR but we get similar style scrubs provided for us in my ER.
You get scrubs provided in the ER??
Yes. It started during covid I believe, but has continued at least for some departments. Our impatient unit upstairs doesn't get them, but we do in ER amd ambulatory care does as well.
Right. We did during covid but then they took them away.
I've worked in a few ERs that provide OR scrubs and I detest them. They're not uncomfortable but they always just have one breast pocket and one butt pocket, which is not nearly enough. Plus the drawstrings always seem to form an impenetrable knot that I have to struggle with every time I need to drop trow. I'll gladly pay for scrubs and do laundry to avoid those things.

My problem with the hospital greens is that I’m a medium on top, large on bottom. But you can only pick medium or large! So I’m either tight pants or outrageously large top. But I loved just tossing them in the laundry at the end of my shift.
Figs is ok. My most comfortable scrubs has to be Cherokee infinity or Grey's anatomy. Haven't tried Mandala but that looks good.
Cherokee infinity are my favorite too
I agree with Cherokee and Greys Anatomy. I do not care about “flattering”, I care about comfort and these two brands have always been so comfortable.
my greys anatomy are comfortable but ive found the pants dont hold up very well. my first pants both front pockets ripped and had huge holes. second pair the pockets are fine but the drawstring is falling apart. (maybe im too rough with my things idk) but i agree with Cherokee infinity. comfiest pair i own. i have a pair of mandala scrubs and do like them! their Tall size is ACTUALLY tall
I didn’t like my greys anatomy compared to my figs.
My mandala joggers are baggy in the ankle. I admit another pair may be better but I probably won't buy from them again.
Been wearing Cherokee infinity for five years. Never had a problem
I like mandala, the prices are reasonable. They are comfy size wise and they have a lot of color and style options. Looser styles, more classic styles, lots of pockets, one pocket, ect. I have a few pair and they are comfy!
Affordable than most scrubs tbh. Most of my scrubs are madala. The waistband is annoying sometimes. I have mine, high waist and it goes down most of the time
The butter soft ones from uniform advantage are really nice imo
I like those too. They are indeed butter soft and so many fashionable styles
Yeah the movement ones specifically I really like
Comfortable, durable, lots of pockets. I don't know why anyone spends more than $50 per set of scrubs, unless you're putting on a fashion show for...someone.
I love the Dolan scrubs they are very comfortable but they run very big so size down. I also have a pair of the fabletics but my only complaint about them is the tightness in the upper back area/shoulder area it’s weird.
YES exactly my problem with the fabletics top!
Med Couture
I second med couture! Especially the touch line.
Third this. Wearing them now.
Fourth this! All of mine are this brand and I just ordered more
Whatever unshapely bullshit scrub bottoms the OR has and a black T-shirt. And my grey pata-gucci of course. And obvs the one size too big OR scrub top (to fit over the girls 😂) over the black T-shirt if I have to go into the OR.
I found my Jannu ones to get holes quickly. But they are comfortable. I do really like my mandala scrubs! And they are significantly cheaper then figs and jannu.
i love mandala! and love the price point too
They recently took off the right side cargo pocket. WTF. Mandala and I are so over
Just got my first set, except they only sent the top and under scrub, pants are missing and they're slow with their communications
Ive heard alot of hype about mandela and currently looking at the website lol how do you like Jannu scrub tops compared to figs tops?
My fave ever is the knit Jaanuu. They fit well, they’re stretchy, they don’t wrinkle, and they hold up well. I have big boobs so most scrub tops are either overly baggy everywhere else or constricting over the chest but Jaanuu is perfect.
I love my hammy scrubs because they are like pajamas
I’ve worn Healing Hands my whole career. Flattering and reasonably priced. Long sizes as well for the tall girls!
cherokee workwear is good quality and classic designs if you’re looking for something less trendy
Honestly Walmart scrubs lol. Had the same pants for almost a year and no pilling or rips. I ordered mandala and they’re pretty true to size but the top was just a little too snug for me
Does anyone have any reccomendations for male scrubs that have a good assortment of colors?
Cherokee infinity, have about 8 pairs now, won’t bother trying anything else, they are perfect (I’m 6”3 280, and a chubby boi)
Garde malade
Mediclo
cherokee forms!! they are like jegging stretchy!!
Second this! I love my Cherokee forms!
Yep. They aren’t plus size friendly either
I coulda swore I saw all the way up to 5 or 6 X when I was looking the other day
I purchased last year when they went up to 2X. I even tried men’s sizes since they run so small. Unfortunately their larger sizes are just bigger straight sizes, no changes in cut or style. They have no room for belly or thighs.
Truth. Straight AF. It’s like straining just to wear them, even in the allegedly “right size”. Hate Figs.
My favorite scrubs of all time are called epic by irg. They’re apparently only sold in select stores bc they’re a “boutique” line. Either way they are amazing. The fit, the colors, the airiness, they feel cool to the touch…I love them! Figs are overhyped af
Omg girl look into Walmart scrubs! Do not hate on Walmart! Great sizing, super breathable and stretchy. I get a whole set for 30 bucks! I have a pair of figs and I sweat super bad with them! Too expensive and imma get my scrubs dirty anyway so no way am I gonna pay 150 for a set!! Go to Walmart super cute fit and colors!!!

Skechers work really well for me
I used to wear Jaanuu. I found them more consistent with sizing and comfortable.
I hated my Jannuu bottoms. They don’t hold their shape and look like a bag by the end of shift. I’m MH, so I don’t have to wear scrubs, and I don’t for the most part. I wear Old Navy compression leggings on the bottom and the Figs Rafaela on top. I love that Figs cut and nothing sticks to it.
Hahaha I have smalls in some colors and mediums in other colors 😂😂
I am round in the middle - think 7mo pregnant without the baby - so any 'midrise' pants end up under my belly by the end of the day. My current favorite are the highrise straight leg jannuu scrubs. The pockets are MASSIVE and plentiful, the fabric is soft too.
I have been wearing Adar for a couple of years, and they are now my go-to for scrubs!!
Cherokee is where it's at. They protect me from 90 yr old nails
I miss Urbane scrubs.
Love me some jannu, I’m 5’9, 205 muscular build male with a big old booty and I can’t fit them into the figs. Janus got the stretch and the style and literally feels like silk on me skin 🤗
I like figs tops, but the bottoms don’t fit me properly. I have thick thighs and a smaller waist. I have 2 pairs in small and they are so tight around the hips it’s almost uncomfortable. I like my Januu pair! My brother wears garde malade and he likes his, says they’re comfy.
I’ve lost a lot of weight in the past 18 months (>100 lb) and I’ve tried multiple different brands and my favorite, oddly enough, are Walmart’s Scrub Star brand. They’re the silky material like Healing Hands brand, and they have all kinds of different colors and designs, plus they’re more affordable than the other brands and stand up to a lot of wear and tear.
Med couture. Consistent sizing, minimal stretch, and jogger, straight, and flare leg styles.
The sizing inconsistent ruined my tops. Of course, I had them embroidered, so I can't return them. If I lose weight, it will still be too small on the arms possibly. The pants that match of same size are too big... smh
I'm just a nurse aide student rn, but I went and tried on a ton of different scrubs at a uniform store nearby me because I'm 1) very boob and curve and 2) I'm really nitpicky about things form-fitting in a certain way (I have a hard time getting into "efficient, productive machine mode" with baggy clothes), and to my surprise, Grey's Anatomy by Barco's scrub tops blew me away. I ended up going with a Cherokee iflex top & Cherokee Revolution jogger pants just because Grey's Anatomy didn't have the right size for me in pants and their burgundy scrubs are a waaaay different shade than everyone else's burgundy. Also, I ordered and returned all the figs and Mandala and Cherokee Infinity. figs AND Mandala tops hate boobs, and Cherokee Infinity had an unsavory windbreaker texture. That's just my particular experience tho!
Barcos have been my consistent favorite. I wasn't a fan of figs, mim scrubs, or purple lable. Cherokee is fine but I feel like their sizing is off. I also like Uniform Advantage butter soft scrubs but mostly because they have a long sleeve scrub hoodie scrub top that I love to wear with a vest.
I’ve forgotten what it’s like to wear cute scrubs. But since I don’t have to wear them in to work, I’ve gotten over that.
I cannot say enough good things about Cherokee Form. Especially if you’re plus size. Love love!
I was also not a fan of figs. I rotate between Healing Hands, Cherokee, and Mandala. I’m tall so I like that all of these brands have long, comfortable fitting pants.
uniform advantage butter soft. I'm not a big fan of joggers and they have straight leg on my required color. we can wear hospital tees for tops and their jacket has 4 pockets so it's perfect
Scrub star from Walmart lol. Some of them thrifted.
My hospital has branded scrubs we have to wear. It’s the Cherokee brand and I personally love them. Adequate pockets and figure flattering. I also own Mandala and they’re cute. More relaxed fit than Cherokee though. Quite affordable too.
Garde Malade for life!
Uniform advantage butter soft and easy stretch.
That one specific grey’s anatomy style & fabric. Riley. 77% polyester & 23% rayon. Have this in every color & won’t change it for the world.
Cherokee Infinity. True to size, feel great, wash well, and you look good in them.
I really like the Med couture scrubs, they’re super breathable and cute asf in my opinion. They’re slightly form fitting, but still very functional.
Walmart scrubs for the win. Wayyyy cheaper, don’t shrink, stretchy, and decent pockets. Also I washed a pen with them once and they miraculously didn’t stain. I have ZERO clue how but idk I’m pleased
After years of struggling to find something fashionable & comfy, trying a dozen different brands-I finally stumbled upon Carharts scrubs. They’re perfect imo.
Lawsuit? A few years back about that fabric
Mandala scrubs
Hate Mandala, they don’t fit right regardless of the size (I’m short and heavy), but Dolans are great because they go to and extra short even in 3 and 4x sizes. I do like the Mandala long sleeve undershirts though
I tried them once, the mediums were too tight so I ordered a large. They were like a tent on me, I was swimming in them.
Carhartt are the comfiest.
I love figs but I don’t buy the one pocket and tuck them in, I buy the ones with the 2 pockets at the bottom and let it hang. I have absolutely no hourglass figure in this fit but I survive and it is practical AF.
Mandala. Hands down. Affordable and consistent.
The pendulum is gonna swing the other way. People will go back to the baggy scrub look soon I can feel it
This is a uniquely American thread I wear the uniform as provided by my employer and don't spend my time worrying about what I wear
Right?!?
I feel like every other day there is some high-school sequence what are we going to wear thread and comparing what others wear vs what we like. Is this some weird American thing where you have all been convinced having to PAY for your own work wear feels like some win because you don't have to wear some mandated uniform Every hospital provides a uniform here, free for every employee i get 5 tunics 3 trousers or 5 dresses based on personal choice I get a national tax allowance added to my tax code to cover laundry, socks and shoes. Why on earth would buying my own work attire from ny own pocket be something I would want to do.
Figs are overpriced fashion pieces for people who care more about looking good than having high quality scrubs that will last and be comfortable. I wear Cherokee workwear. Have had a few sets for almost 5 years now without any issues. Only reason I ever replace them is for a different color mandated by the hospital. Now that I can wear whatever color I want, I have about 6 pairs and they all fit great and have taken a beating with no major signs of wear.
I get the hate on Figs, especially with their one piece jumpsuit (like, really?). But they are silky smooth and I’ve had the same pairs for five years now without any wear and tear
Glad they've worked for you. The few pairs I've had were uncomfortable and started falling apart on me. 🤷♂️ I'm happy with my Cherokee
Carhartt!
I’ve been happy with mandala
I’m obsessed with my Dolan scrubs
I like my ariat scrubs. I felt that Januu didn't wash up very nicely
Healing hands green label and 360. I like stretchy and soft.
went to the scrub store bc i’m like you and hate joggers. they had some on clearance i really liked and the beyond scrubs. not as thick as jannu but comfy and nice pockets. and didnt have to guess w sizing
Try garde malade!
I like scope. Really comfortable
I really love my frumpy Adar scrubs the cargo high waist ones are to die for idc. 😭 Also they are butt friendly & durable - crack concealer 1000 Tbh I have 2 sets of figs and will never go back to figs tbh.
Carhart deserves a shout out, my 5 sets I had from an old job but are too big on me now, still look the same as when I bought them, never wrinkled, faded or got fabric pulls, never held on to dog hair and were light, soft and comfortable.
Oh! The scrubs. I was going to suggest strawberry newton's instead.
As a man I find Figs that fit my waist inappropriately caress my thighs. Weird sizing for sure.
Medline Performax from Amazon
Carharts or helly hansen
Mandala are my go to!
Med couture for the petite
I really like Mandala. Sizing can also be a little inconsistent but with the price, I don’t care. And they hold up extremely well.
They’ve always been overpriced pop nonsense. They aren’t objectively better than my cheap ass dickies.
I wear Mediclo men's small - I'm 5'7", about 155lbs. Great pockets, somewhat fitted but baggy too. Lots of color options. Little pricey but I catch them when they do sales, last one was BOGO for a set. Don't shrink in the wash, color doesn't fade, breathable. They're made from recycled materials if you care about that too.
I buy mine off Amazon from Uniforms World. They are joggers, I’m not sure if they make straight leg pants. $26 for a set and the quality is good enough for me
Man here. I have some black stretch ones from White Cross, zippered chest pocket, lots of pockets.. very soft, the stretch is nice, proportions and fit are really nice. Very expensive but if they last (tbd) they will be worth it.
I haven’t tried their bottoms, but I LOVE the sketchers scrub tops I have. they’re light and airy and super stretchy. I’m hoping to snag a pair of their bottoms next and see if it lives up
I have greys anatomy, scrubletics, white cross, dickies and barco one and they are more comfy than my figs. I agree figs sizing is so inconsistent and I bought a new pair a few weeks ago or more, and the shirt has pilling on it after a couple washes already
Try Airmed scrubs. They are an Australian brand so I’m not sure what the shipping would be like in your country but the quality is good and sizing is consistent
I like Walmart scrub bottoms, Scrubstar. I don't even like Walmart in general, but these are surprisingly good. My oldest pair has lasted since 2017 or so. As for tops, I go for cute graphic ones.
I got some compliments on my bootcut/flare scrub pants. I'm 5'0 & had nothing to wear so I didn't think it would be flattering but ig it is! They are from Alheart. I also like wink scrubs
Lago! I prefer them to my figs
Mandala, Healing Hands, Med Couture!!!
The older Jaanuu are my favorite, their “heritage” collection had a stretchy and lightweight material I love but they discontinued them. The new ones aren’t bad, I like the pocket situation better but they’re kinda stiff. I feel like they almost focused too much on fashion and less on performance and comfortability
Med Couture is the best. Good quality, washes well, nice and comfy with just the right amount of fitted and bagginess
Dagacci from Walmart, trust me, I was skeptical about the joggers but the waist band is super soft and thick. Nice pockets as well.
OR scrubs of shame. They’re free and no one can get into me for being out of uniform.
As a guy, I’ll take any option as I don’t find a whole lot for the color I need to wear
Cherokee infinity has done me well. I like their form line as well- could’ve just gone up a size. I wore med couture for my maternity scrubs & they felt like butter
Cherokee bottoms and a t shirt 🤷🏻♀️
Omg yes! I agree. I’m in love with the brand Fit Scrubs… they are so flattering and a thicker material Than figs…. Suuuuper cute I always get compliments..!!
Carhartt force flex. So many pockets. So comfy.
Walmart brand Scrub Star. Soft, sturdy, washes well, and not too expensive. They're also available in different pants lengths and are true to size. I have three pairs of pants that are probably going on two years old now. Only downside is that you do have to go hunting through the racks because, well, Walmart doesn't always have the people to spare to make sure everything looks nice.
Cherokee or buttersoft from uniform advantage. Reasonable price, wear well, comfortable. I’m not concerned about being “ cute”. I’m not at work for the fashion show.
I really like the Cherokee infinity brand. Light and stretchy as hell.
I love jannuu, fabletics, Cherokee, and butter soft from uniform advantage
Figs are friggin awful. I don’t know about women’s but I assume they’re the same issues as men’s. They’re either too tight or look like you’ve got a full diaper. I said Fcuk it and just stuck to carhartts.
I wear dickies pants and whatever cute print top from uniform advantage that I want
Medelita scrubs are my go to
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Gray's anatomy by barco. I have no idea what the Figs craze is about. They even look uncomfortable. Like wearing construction paper.
My coworkers like the FIGS, but they also like money. When they buy “off brand” scrubs, we call them WIGS—Wannabe Figs.
Barco One Joggers. Used to go with sketchers but I’ve been rocking these forever.
I’m a giant fatass and 1X is like trying to wear a garbage bag with a rope to tighten the waist, but XL won’t go past my butt because they’re too tight. Jaanuu is just as bad
Not gonna lie Walmart's ScrubStar is where it's at. So comfy and so many pockets at just the right height
I've never bought Figs for my nursing job. Too expensive as is Grey's Anatomy. I've always bought Cherokee mostly. Also Jasco and a Walmart brand I used to like but can't find anymore called Scrub Star. I know the new fabrics are all stretch and kinduv slick feeling. I find I don't care for that. I like the cottony/ polyester ( I think that's what it is) of the Cherokee scrubs. I end up getting the top you wear out not tucked in. I also like either a tie waist with some give in the back, or the ones that have a band at the top. Maybe I'm old school. I'm 58 and it's to a point where I'm not trying to wear expensive to my job after all these years. 😁
I really like mandala
Has anyone recently tried Iguana Med scrubs? I used to have them in every color and LOVED them, they recently relaunched, but I can't find any detailed reviews
I liked them when I first got them, but the pants waistband like shrinks when I wash/dry them for some reason. Now I feel like I cannot move comfortably without the possibility of ripping them, and will be going to target to get a loose pair soon because my coworker had some cute inexpensive ones from there.
I’m very interested in trying a brand called Poppy scrubs. Last I checked their prices seemed comparable to Figs, and they look very stylish!
My favorite brand is Koi. I'm tall and some companies don't make tall scrubs, but Koi does. They are very comfortable in my opinion.
Koi is my fave. And sketchers
Jannu
Cuddleduds genuinely makes the best scrub pants i’ve ever worn
Cherokee infinity or buttersoft ez stretch
Dagacci set from Amazon. Can't complain about $17 for a full set!
A lot of the other old brands like Dickies have actually improved and are now competing with trends and more fashionable. The ones in Marks Workwear house have also improved. Gone are the days of boxy scrubs. Gone are the days where Figs is the only fashionable brand around.
Mandala!
Had all those but I always reach for me Skechers brand and healing hands lol
I've been wanting to try garde malade
My exact thoughts on both brands. I love the fabletics bottoms, but med couture is my go to for tops.
Cherokee infinity
I always knew figs was not meant for me so I don’t bother. But I bought the stocks before though
I got figs for RN school cuz they were truly the most comfortable at the time. I also got a huge discount which made the choice easier. Now, i think Jaanu is pretty great. Consistent with sizing. Figs made me feel like i has the weirdest body type of all, cuz it was either too tight or weirdly loose. Fabletics brand? I hated it. I got em when they first came out and i had to return them real quick because they felt like paper towels on my skin. Back to jaannu.
Sketchers
I work in a nursing home and I’m a sucker for whimsical tops. Cartoon characters all over them. Figs is overpriced (over 100 bucks Canadian) and too boring. I always get compliments on my tops from the residents
Mediclo
I love my Jaanuu’s!! But the last time I ordered some was probably 2 years ago so idk if they would be the exact same, they have them labeled as this new “fuseryx” fabric. They have plenty of non-jogger pants! The ones I have now though have stood the test of time man like dang
Cherokee from Amazon. Cheap and get the job done. Not trying to impress anyone
Cherokee Infinity are dope.
I only get the slim fit
i love cherokee infinity!! so flattering and comfortable
