Undershirts

[studentnursemon86]

I work in the ER and with the ambulance bay it gets chilly. I usually wear a long sleeve shirt under my scrub top. I had gotten several at a uniform store that were supposed to be stretchy. They are, but after a few months they develop holes along the seams.

Does anyone have a good recommendation for undershirts that are more durable?

I just buy cheap $5 or less shirts from forever 21, target, or Walmart. When they wear out, I throw them away.

Thanks.

That's what I've been doing. Mine are about $7 a piece. I was hoping there was something more durable out there.

I know under armor makes them, but they are expensive.

I have some from old navy and gap (which I got at the outlets) and target.

I think target has champion shirts that are kind of like underarmor. I don't know , But it should be less underarmor.

I wouldn't wear under armour clothes to work- too expensive to risk getting poo on them and I need them clean for the weekend/hiking. Old Navy usually has cheapish long sleeve shirts that work well under scrubs.

I get shirts from scrubs and beyond. It's a great tee to wear under scrubs. They are too thin otherwise. I LOVE them because the sleeves are blinged.

Yeah, it's the small things, lol

Heart and soul makes thick but not too hot long sleeve shirts I bought @ my local scrub store. They also sell regular clothing at Kohls. But the tops are very durable and warm.

I just wear long john shirts from Old Navy.

I also agree with checking out Old Navy. I have many of their long john/thermal type shirts in various colors. Comfy and cheap!

I get mine from target by Merona. They used to be 7 bucks but now they are 11.00 a piece. I can't complain because they last two years. The only time I got a hole was when I was holding my sweet cat and he freaked out ripping my shirt and tearing my skin. They come in a plethora of colors too.

I buy these athletic type tops by Cuddle Duds similar to underarmour but less expensive. Target, walmart and kohls sell them but I usually buy them at tjmaxx or marshalls for $10. They come folded with a box around them like nylons and are sold near the sock or underwear depending on the store. Some styles have thumb holes, some don't, some are moisture wicking. I like the fitted style the most. If you google cuddle duds you will see they have a bunch of styles.
