FAQs
Our Common Questions
1. What should I consider when choosing scrubs?
When choosing scrubs, consider factors like comfort, durability, fit, and functionality. Look for fabrics that are breathable and easy to move in, as well as scrubs with pockets for easy access to tools.
2. How do I know what size scrub to order?
It’s best to refer to the sizing chart provided by the scrub manufacturer. Measure your bust, waist, and hips, and compare these measurements to the size chart to determine the best fit.
3. Are there scrubs that are suitable for different healthcare settings?
Yes, scrubs come in various styles and colors suitable for different healthcare settings. For example, some facilities have color-coded scrubs for different departments or roles. It’s essential to check with your employer for any specific requirements.
4. What are the most comfortable fabrics for scrubs?
Cotton blends, polyester blends, and performance fabrics (like moisture-wicking materials) are often preferred for comfort. These fabrics are breathable, soft on the skin, and help regulate body temperature during long shifts.
5. How do I care for my scrubs to ensure they last longer?
Follow the care instructions on the label. Typically, scrubs should be washed in cold water with similar colors and dried on low heat or hung to dry. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach, as they can damage the fabric and affect color retention.
6. Can I personalize or embroider my scrubs?
Yes, many scrubs can be personalized or embroidered with your name, department, or hospital logo. Check with the scrub provider if they offer customization services or if they recommend a local embroidery service.
7. Are there scrubs designed specifically for men and women?
Yes, many brands offer scrubs tailored specifically for men and women. Women’s scrubs typically feature more fitted designs, while men’s scrubs may have more generous cuts. It’s essential to choose scrubs that fit your body shape comfortably.
8. How can I find scrubs that meet my facility’s uniform requirements?
Check with your employer or facility administration for specific guidelines on scrubs, including color, style, and any logo requirements. Some facilities have partnerships with scrub suppliers that offer discounts or specific uniform options.
9. What are the benefits of buying from a specialty scrub store versus a general retailer?
Specialty scrub stores often carry a wider selection of brands, styles, and sizes tailored specifically for healthcare professionals. They may also offer expert advice on fit and style, ensuring you find scrubs that meet both your professional and personal preferences.
