What are your favorite scrubs? I'm looking for advice from women size 18 and UP!

I like the Cherokee workwear Luxe or flexible. The Uniform Advantage Butter Soft are nice, but their lengths listed in the catalog are a lie and they charge for return shipping when exchanging.

I purchase exclusively from Smart Scrubs | Nursing Scrubs, Medical Scrubs, Uniforms and Accessories. They are a little more expensive BUT they wear like iron. I have worn their cargo pants for five YEARS before having to retire a pair.

I tend to get Cherokee. I like their elastic waist cargo pants. I find drawstrings don't fit me too well.

I'm a size 20 and 5'6". I have two pair of scrubs that work. Best is Gen Flex by Dickies Womens Junior and the other is Koi. But in the Koi I was able to fit the Koi Womens Lindsey Cargo in petite, but the top was harder to fit. The Koi Womens Ashley Crossover fit well, but others didn't.
I'm following because I want more of a variety. I shopped at two local large scrubs shop and tried on EVERY pair they sold in my size and required color. Bought the best. Most, simply had too much fabric, but size smaller was too small.

I hated going to the uniform shop when I first became a nurse! Sizing was so out of whack! I found that Cherokee is pretty consistent in sizing (not to mention I wear a smaller size in them) and now I can order online and know they'll fit every time. I'm 27 weeks pregnant and even ventured to order maternity scrubs from them in my regular size and they fit perfectly! They also always come in petite, regular, or tall. I also like the Cherokees because of the rise on the pants. I hate wearing my pants down too low or them showing anything when I bend over!

Cherokee and Wonder Wink are my absolute favorites! I'm short and round so the plus size petites are perfect!

I love wonderwink plus flare leg tummy panel pant. I like the curve v neck top to match. It's a stretchy material, comes out of the dryer and to the hanger nice so you don't need to iron. Cool for me, I worry about sweating. I prefer the darker colors, they don't make enough colors.
Fyi the plus and regular wonderwink are different material so don't mix and match
Im currently searching for more scrubs in this material if you find any let me know!

I'm no longer plus-sized or 'large' due to substantial weight loss...but back when when I was a size 18, my go-to brands were Cherokee Workwear and the ScrubStar brand from Walmart. I found both brands to be roomy and run somewhat large.
That's awesome! Great job!

I love Cherokee Infinity scrubs- they are so comfortable and wash really well. Stretchy and lovely.
I always order from Jens Scrubs- free shipping and they always have coupons and %'s off.
Great colors too.
