Best Underwear to wear under scrubs??

SillyLilly · Oct 12, 2006

I wore white and was worried about my panty line showing through, but it's not been a problem. I wear dark underwear and a warm-up coat.

Some people suggest a color close to your skin tone. Some say just wear black.

I was hoping there was a boxer brief for women. I went to target today and saw cute boxer briefs for women! Also, nice A tanks. I plan to get some when they go on sale. (and get my 1st paycheck)

But really, I cannot see my co-worker's lines, and they cannot see mine, not as much as I thought you would be able to see them.

What kinds of panties work with scrubs?

LOL! this question is so funny. Anyways, if you wear scrubs, you can wear underwear that covers the entire buns; some people call it " grandma" underwear. Leave the thongs at home. Some people do wear it at work, and I can see their cracks; nasty. Doesn't make your butt look cuter, even if you have a nice one. Consider wearing good-material scrub pants. Don't wear white pants if you can. Stay with flesh or tan-colored underwear just for work. White undies make it more prominent. Also, wear comfy scrub buttons that fit well, not too tight. Funny, good question, though. :lol2:

I'd try a skin-toned boy-short cut - since the legs end lower on one's behind, they're not in an area that gets stretched tight when bending over.

The skin tone will blend in under white scrub pants. Please, please don't do as a co-worker of mine does, and wear red or magenta panties under white pants :trout:

That said, I wear a dress. :penguin:

I love this question. My favorite underpants are the Victoria's Secret Pink Hipsters because they don't have elastic around the legs, so they don't cut in and give you a double butt- you know, when it cuts in and looks like you have four butt cheeks instead of two. If you are wearing dark bottoms, most colors will work. But if white, go with flesh tones because they blend in.

I wear undies that are not quite a granny undie but more than a bikini. I tried wearing thongs to work- ugh! Very uncomfortable.

This subject has been discussed previously at length- do a search. Anyway, the others are on the right track. If you have to wear white scrubs, then stick with a color that matches your particular skin tone, I.e., tan or beige if you are caucasian, going darker if your skin is darker.

When I wear my scrubs, I wear the granny-style undergarments that are made by Fruit of the Loom and Hanes Her Way. They're comfy and never ride up my butt crack. I usually wear them in black, tan, beige, and pale pink.

Also, Bali makes some very comfy britches that are no-line that come in skin tone. A little pricey but so comfy.

LOL. I have seen bright red and smiley faces, panties under white scrubs, and the obvious thong showing above hipster scrubs. All are very attractive. LOL. Not!!

The best panty I have found is actually called The best panty ever. You can get them at Walmart.

The best advice is always to go with a neutral color. You don't want to be the 'butt' of your co-worker's jokes :rotfl: :rotfl:
