Scrubs!

[u/ilovehotdads37]

Helloooo I don’t think this post breaks the rules but I’m sorry if it does.

Anyways I’m a phleb and usually buy my scrubs from the scrub truck(idk how common that is elsewhere) and I love them but they are sooo expensive. I also really don’t like Walmart scrubs. Basically just asking where everyone buys their scrubs?
Also I’m in a rural area so Walmart is my only other in person option without driving over an hour and gas is pricy.

Mandala is nice or honestly, I will scour the thrift stores and even if I find half of a set I like, I’ll go online and buy the matching piece.

[u/Terrible-Option-1603 → u/BoysenberrySpare5064]

I also check thrift stores. You can find some gems.

ButterSoft from Uniform Advantage is my go to. They even have some fun long sleeve scrub tops. I order all mine online. I have to have a certain color for work so I can't order from everywhere, even though I'd like to try out other brands.

Seconding ButterSoft. I like the Stretch versions myself ^{_^}

[u/Back2DaLab → u/gen_what_x_ever]

I’ve had the same 3 sets of ButterSoft scrubs from UA for over 4 years now and they’re still holding strong.

The markup on those scrub trucks is nuts. I buy Healing Hands Yoga line off Amazon. You can also try Mandala scrubs.

[u/undoubtedlygivingup → u/Serious-Currency108]

I absolutely second Mandala Scrubs. I work with bleach a lot in the lab and those babies do have stains but not as visible. I love them!

You have to BUY scrubs in the US? That's so crazy to me.

[u/CastleLushak → u/niztaoH]

They don’t give us healthcare much less scrubs lol

Sooo i exclusively wear fabletics scrubs because I love the colors and fit. I have the VIP membership, so i pay $50 a month, which gives me a credit I can use to get a “free” pair of scrubs each month (free in quotes cause technically im paying $50 lol). And you can skip the month the 1st-5th if you don’t want a set that month. And shipping is free with the membership too unless you expedite it

I know lots of people aren’t a fan of subscriptions so it’s not for everyone. If you work somewhere with a designated color it’s probably not worth it. But i can wear whatever color i want so it brings me joy to get the new color drops. And $50 for a scrub set is really not that bad

[u/Asilillod → u/ThrowRA_72726363]

I have two sets of fabletics scrubs due to forgetting to skip the month lol (my boys like their shorts so I got a membership)

A coworker pointed out that their wine/burgundy is not the same shade as the Cherokee wine color we are authorized and I was like “I do not care I spent my vip credit on these and I’m getting my money out of it!!” 😂

[u/KuraiTsuki]

Uniform Advantage Butter-Soft, Butter-Soft Stretch, and Easy Stretch lines are my go-to scrubs.

[u/Large_Speaker1358]

I use dry fit athletic T-shirts, athletic jacket, and male joggers for my ‘scrubs’. Scrubs are so over priced and every pair gets holes in the thigh area. my entire lab wardrobe can be used outside of the lab. My clothing looks professional and neat. 

[u/SpecificMobile7903]

I’m a fan of WonderWink. I usually buy them from a place nearby but they’re also available online.

I have successfully purchased from Scrubs & Beyond. I specifically use the Landau brand. I've bought Dickies and Med Coutour and don't like the fit and think they don't hold up as well. I still have several sets of Landau brand after 5 years that are in great condition. This brand has a few levels of expense so you can match your budget. I've gotten them on sale for as low as $30-35/set. I had them shipped; this included tax and shipping.

I've ordered online as well as shopped in their store. I find the brick and mortar store underwhelming. You can only get the higher priced Landau line in-store and I feel like the colors are more limited. My online order came fairly quick.

Scrubs & Beyond - Landau brand

[u/xAsianZombie → u/Traveling_MLS]

I love Landau. Super comfy

[u/littlearmadilloo → u/Traveling_MLS]

i also vote landau. i have 1 set from landau, 2 from heartsoul, and 2 from healing hands. landau is absolutely the comfiest

[u/TastingTheKoolaid]

I went to a fancypants scrub store and tried on a TON of different ones. The ones I liked, I looked on amazon to compare the price, took pictures of the tags so I would remember, and left with a single set to thank them for their time. I stocked up on amazon and any replacements I get there, too. IMO, it is worth it so so so much to make the trip to a scrub store to sample all the brands and styles. This is something you'll be wearing most of your week- you want to have *YOUR* perfect scrub, not any of ours.

[u/Teristella]

Mandala is a good buy if they fit you well, they don't work for me. I'm searching too.

[u/bayritex]

I get Doctors choice at Walmart. They are unbelievably soft.

[u/Terrible-Option-1603]

Hot take: I buy chef uniform pants. Theyre thicker and they also look like scrubs. Black, mini checks, and pinstripe. (If you are allowed any color)

[u/BarracudaStandard414]

Fabletics!! For perite gurlies like me

[u/Kerwynn]

I used to buy the carhart scrubs off amazon, but it seems the ripstop doesnt well... stop the ripping. Stuck with Cherokees from amazon- super cheap for mens scrubs. My fiancee goes with cherokees as well and they look good on her.

[u/venight]

i’m wondering the same as a student starting this fall. we weren’t given anything specific to get, just that we need some, so I don’t know what is common for people to wear lol

[u/Which_Accountant8436]

I get mine from mandala and jaanuu

[u/Asilillod]

I’ve never heard of of a scrub truck but I’ve bought Cherokee workwear and infinity scrubs off of Amazon or wherever I can find the lowest total price.

[u/Historical-Original2]

I go with Fabletics or Figs because of the Military discount

[u/PuzzleheadedSmile882]

Healing Hands off amazon are the best. I’ve tried almost every brand lol.

[u/GlitteringCobbler987]

I know this doesn't answer your question but I wear jeans and a T-shirt

[u/superduperzz]

I've been wearing Mandala scrubs every day for years and they're great. I recommend them to everyone. They also have a really nice selection of unique colors.

[u/nikolaiofthejungle]

My recent and overall favorite is Roth Wear (for men) but they also make Med Couture Scrubs for Women too. You can find the women's scrubs most any place as well as on Amazon. The Men's one's I ordered online from AllHeart but they sell Men's Med Couture Scrubs on Amazon as well, I just had trouble trying to order my size on there. They're pricey but the most comfortable ones I've ever owned and being made out of mostly polyester, they should last

[u/Arg3ntAd3pt]

I’m basic and buy Cherokee ones off Amazon lol. I’m a tall guy and most of the stores around me either a) don’t have guys sizes or b) don’t have the color I need for work so it’s Amazon or pay $20 more to get from Uniform Advantage

[u/OnlyHere4Football]

I’ve bought scrubs second hand on Mercari or Poshmark. That way I can figure out what brands I like without breaking the bank.

[u/Icy-Fly-4228]

Whenever I go to the city I hit up goodwill

[u/orange_blanket]

Mandala scrubs are nice and not expensive

[u/Magdalena303]

I love Fit Scrubs, but they are pricy. Before I started wearing Fit I almost exclusively bought Dickies. They were a good price and long lasting. Due to some of my color requirements or online store to get my scrubs through my allowance money I have not had options so I have wonder wink, healing hands and cherokee. Which were all not bad. I hate the way Mandala fits on me and do not like Uniform advantage either. I still sometimes order from UA because their filter and selection is great I just don't like their in house band of scrubs.

I have to get a tall size in women's so take all of my opinions with that reference, because it sucks trying to find what colors I am mandated to wear with the correct sizing.
