Any suggestions for white scrub pants? (That aren't see through?)

Published

New work uniform and I am having trouble with people seeing my underwear through my pants! I am light skinned. I like the flared type of pants.

Any suggestions to feel a little more modest? I honestly even thought of buying white boxer shorts to wear OVER my underwear under the pants, but that is super uncomfortable!

Help! :nurse:

in the winter consider silk long underwear. They breathe and are light

Scrubs are so thin I get cold so I like to wear those light weight cotton long underwear. Not the thermal kind as they would be too hot but they have light weight ones that are really soft cotton. You can wear then under the white scrub pants and really cover anything. You can get them in white or nude. I like them under all my scrubs for warmth and not feeling so naked and they cover the panties especially under whites. You can get them at places like Target, Sears, walmart, etc.

Nude undies, and if you still feel exposed get the 'boy shorts' variety.

Like another poster said, please no thongs! I've seen nurse assistants wear thongs and it was so obvious it was embarrassing! :uhoh21:

Some underwear company has come out with a line of different colors of nude. So they match as many skin tones as possible.

WalMart makes white uniform pants that aren't see through. Material is thicker and they wear pretty well.

Chef's pants are pretty thick, and come in white. Most workwear stores sell white denim cargo pants, with a lot of pockets.

Depending on your skin color, nude panties can be hard to find. White dance tights are thick, opaque, and indestructable.

If you have a light skin tone, wear a nude-colored bra and undies under the white uniform and it should nix the problem. I personally hate white because it gets dirty so easily. My nursing school forced us to wear white tops and white bottoms, and most people's whites were gray by the end of the year from so much wear. Give me colors please!

I wear white leggings under mine.
