I just want some scrub pants that fit!

Published

Can anyone help me, I am getting desperate! I'm about to start nursing school and went to the bookstore to buy my scrubs. We have to get our tops there because they are embroidered, so I went ahead and got the pants. BIG mistake! Seems the pants were unisex and WAY too big in the waist and crotch area.

So I took my measurements and went online to get pants. These ended up being an even worse fit. So I figured I would order what size I normally wear. Those scrubs arrived today and now they are too small.

Is it too much to ask for scrub pants that fit?

I'm finally breaking down and going to a local medical supply store that sells uniforms. I know the price will probably be more, but hopefully they can give me some options that actually fit properly.

For future reference, where do you get scrub pants that fit? I have big hips and a smaller waist!

Landau eased fit (not the ones with the sewn in crease) are very comfy. They come in Tall and Petite and you can get them online. I would go to a uniform store, try on pants and when you find ones that fit, get all the info and buy them online.

I had a lot of trouble when I bought my scrubs for NS that starts next week. I tried on every brand they had in the store, finally settling on Grey's Anatomy. Koi was a good fit for me, as well. The brand of scrubs that will fit you best completely depends on your body type. Like the PP said, go to the store and try on pants until you find a brand that fits.
