Best Underwear to wear under scrubs??

Nurses General Nursing

Updated:   Published

Am I the only one having problems finding a pair of underwear that does not show when I bend over a patient or ones that don't leave a major panty line?

What kinds of panties work with scrubs?

If you wear white or light-colored scrubs-nude or skin-colored underwear, work.
I suggest NOT wearing thongs----not a good look for work.

The high cut is nice because there's less fabric at the sides to "pull down" the uniform pant.

Clean ones are the best just in case

Yeah, my mom always said, "Make sure you wear clean underwear in case you are in an accident. I don't want to be embarrassed!" OK. MOM. Never mind, I mind be hurt or something! LOL:smackingf

Well, and it also doesn't make sense because if you're in an accident, your underwear probably won't be clean.:cool:

I've never owned a high-cut pair of underwear that didn't drift where the sun doesn't shine.

Light-support pantyhose does good work under my scrubs. Over them belong a pair of tennis socks to create a modest look around the ankles!

LOL. I don't think paramedics care if you have clean underwear on. Since they typically don't go there unless they have to. LOL! But a nice bra may be nice since the shirt is typically the first to go! LOL! (EKG, IVs).

What scares me is don't wear a big underwire that conducts too much electricity. CLEAR! LOL! (no, they take them off!).

LOL...I can just see myself being a paramedic in this case. LOL!. "Oh sweety, where did you get that bra..it is gorgeous! I want one! Is it comfortable?" LOL!!!

I wear navy blue scrubs. It's my favorite color. And since it's a dark color, I can wear whatever I want underneath them. I mostly wear what's comfortable - regular briefs and bikini underwear. And whatever color I want too. It's not a big problem for me. I just wear navy blue. All my uniforms are navy blue. I'm pretty generic.

Any of the women ever try boxers? I would think that they would feel OK and have no lines.
