Love It Or Leave It: Back Pockets On Scrubs

The perfect scrub for you probably depends on your specialty and medical profession. Nurses have different requirements from their workwear than physicians in the same field, and certain specialties have stricter requirements for what is needed in terms of their uniforms.

These differences can most commonly been seen with pockets.

Every medical professional in every specialty requires pockets to hold medical instruments and general “stuff”, but exactly how many pockets and where they are placed on the scrubs really depends on the field you’re working in. It’s likely that you’re going to run into some scrubs that don’t fit your pocket needs before you find your ideal set of scrubs with perfectly placed pockets.

One pocket feature that has been adapted into nearly every type of scrubs pants, however, is the rear pocket. If you are a medical professional who doesn’t use this back pocket, you might feel that this feature, though meant to be helpful, actually is unflattering for your bottom. But some medical professionals in certain specialties swear by these back pockets, and say they use them all the time.

What are your thoughts about rear pockets on scrubs pants? Do you use your pockets every day or at least occasionally? Or is this a feature you’d prefer not to have on your scrubs pants? Comment and let us know!

Easy Care Scrubs

Why Low Maintenance Scrubs Are The Way To Go

Let me get one thing straight: scrubs should be cleaned after every use, because it is true that they carry bacteria – as does every other piece of clothing that you own. But since scrubs are worn in a clinical setting, you should be washing them after every use. Scrubs definitely aren’t the type of clothing that you can get away with wearing a few times in between washes.

But some scrubs are more low maintenance than others, by which I mean they are less likely to get stained and that they don’t wrinkle. Let’s face it, scrubs made of 100% cotton are just more likely to wrinkle during the day or even before you put them on, if they’ve been washed but left unfolded.

It’s also worth the trouble of paying a bit extra for scrubs made of fabric that doesn’t stain, or that releases stains easily in the wash, because this extends the life of your scrubs and actually ends up costing you less in the long run. If you buy a cheap set of scrubs and the stains won’t come out in the wash, you have to buy an entirely new set of scrubs!

For those who wear scrubs to work every day, investing in a scrubs set that is comfortable and low maintenance is a no-brainer. You’ll end up saving money and feel more confident throughout the day, as opposed to being worried about wrinkles every time you stand up. Low maintenance scrubs are the way to go!

 

Modern Fit Cute Scrubs

Cute and Polished Scrubs

There are so many options out there for doctors, nurses, PAs, and other health professionals who wear scrubs daily as a part of their work. If you work in pediatrics you might want a set of scrubs with a cute cartoon pattern on it. If you work as a nurse you’ll want scrubs that have a large amount of pocket space for carrying around the things you need during the day. Depending on your personal style and job requirements, there really is a large number of options ready for medical professionals to wear.

One of the things I see often is scrubs that overcompensate for the fact that they usually aren’t flattering. They might come in overly bright colors, or come in styles that are definitely contemporary, but are actually kind of flashy and perhaps not that professional looking. I’ve found that these Nursing Scrubs are actually the best of both worlds: the fits are gender-specific, so you know it will fit you well. However, they are not overly fitted and they look so polished, just like a medical professional should.

One of the other great things about these scrubs is that they are so incredibly soft. The fabric is specially made. Between the high-quality fabric and polished fit, these scrubs are the best professional option for cute yet professional scrubs.

The Best Lab Coat and Scrubs Pockets

Pockets are an essential feature of any white lab coat, and any set of scrubs. Pockets should be discreet and conveniently placed, yet provide ample room for storing of small medical instruments, cell phones, iPads, and other odds and ends that you carry with you all day.

When your pockets are working overtime, there’s a greater chance that they will rip and fray along the edges. Natural wear and tear is an inevitable situation for any garment that you wear regularly, but a high quality garment should have reinforced stitching in key areas to ensure that this doesn’t happen.

This is just one of the many design features that put Medelita’s lab coats and scrubs ahead of the rest of the medical apparel industry.

Reinforced Pocket Seams Lab Coat

As you can see in this close-up image, this Medelita lab coat has a double row of stitching at the two corner ends of the pocket. This is a mark of high quality, as it demonstrates a fine attention to detail, and serves for you to get more utility out of your lab coat. The reinforced seams will hold you things indefinitely without being subject to typical wear and tear.

Medelita offers reinforced pocket stitching on their line of scrubs as well.

Scrubs Drawstrings

The Most Comfortable And Fashionable Scrubs Available

In recent years, Medelita has gone above and beyond to change the standard of medical wear and improve scrubs for physicians, nurses, physician assistants, and every medical professional in between. The comfort and functionality of our scrubs sets us above the rest; we continue to go unmatched in fit, quality, ergonomics, comfort, and performance.

The ergonomic design of our scrubs flatters the professional while allowing them to have a comfortable range of motion. Many small details on the men’s and women’s scrubs, while they may seem minor, benefit the wearer significantly. The beautifully fashioned, top darts at the bust of the women’s top offer a raised V-neck that create an elegant, flattering neckline that lays flat overall. Along with a higher neckline the women’s top has shorter sleeves allowing for freedom in movement. The men’s top has been re-shaped for a improved fit in the torso. Both the men’s and women’s resemble a high quality woven short-sleeve shirt; featuring a raised neckline and a roomier chest pocket. Our well designed fit from the shoulders to chest allows for an enhanced range of motion while visually creating a narrower frame. Medelita scrub pants feature many outstanding fashion forward designs as well. Men’s pants offer the drape of slacks, the casual length of your favorite jeans, while having the comfort of athletic pants. Along with a drawstring and latex-free elastic waistband, the men’s pants have a zippered fly. Both men’s and women’s pants have a relaxed fit around the thighs and groin for less pulling while sitting. The straight leg fit of our pants, with a contoured rise, are flattering and modern. On all products, the stress-reinforced sewing details are designed for all-day comfort.

Medelita fabric is proven to last the lifetime of the product. Not only can the product be home laundered, with no ironing required, but the drirelease® material resists piling, fading, wrinkling, and static cling. The technically advanced performance fabric pulls moisture away from your skin and dries incredibly faster than other performance fabrics or cotton. The supremely soft fabric is known for comfort and performance. FreshGuard® provides bacteriostatic, odor-free comfort. With no chemicals or irritants, our performance fabric is promised to be environmentally friendly.

All in all, Medelita scrubs are a step above the rest. Other scrubs brands often have less flattering tops and pants. Their pants have a natural-rise waist with a simple drawstring or back elastic, offering less support or comfort. Many brands sell an outdated flared leg with side vents. Although their tops feature the same short sleeves, they hold a looser fit that does not flatter the professional. Our moisture wicking, fast drying, high performance, odor control, superior comfort, and premium quality is top notch and quality trumps quantity every time.

Scrubs TLC

A Different Kind Of Scrub

Scrubs are the uniform that nurses and doctors and physician assistants wear. It’s also the name of a very popular TV show. Scrub can also refer to a bush or shrubbery, and “to scrub” means to scour or rub vigorously.

But if you grew up in the 90’s, you might think of something else entirely when you hear the word “scrubs”. It might recall a certain catchy tune from pop band TLC. Yes, I’m talking about the scrubs we hear about in the classic 90’s hit “No Scrubs”.

As a matter of fact, the TLC phrase scrubs gained so much notoriety that we now see it as the top definition in the Urban Dictionary definition for scrubs:

A scrub is a guy that thinks he’s fly
And is also known as a buster
Always talkin’ about what he wants
And just sits on his broke ass
A scrub is a guy that cant get no love from me
Hanging out the passenger side
Of his best-friend’s ride
Trying to holler at me

Listen up, boys! A scrub is someone that no self-respecting lady will date. Step up your game, and maybe even consider checking out medical school so that one day you may find yourself wearing scrubs, instead of being one.

 

The Best Hack For Removing Deodorant Stains From Your Scrubs

Pilling, shrinking, staining – these are just a few clothing woes that we experience as a result of just wearing our scrubs and lab coats as they’re meant to be worn. For the most part, they’re unavoidable. After all, your medical uniform is meant to protect you and inform others while you’re on the job, so stains and damage will naturally occur over time. It’s just a part of natural wear and tear.

But how frustrating is it when you put on your freshly washed dark blue scrubs, only to discover that your deodorant left an unsightly white smear all over the hem?

Scrubs Top For Women

There are two options when you find yourself in this situation. Either you toss your scrubs top back in the laundry to be cleaned again (don’t do this – it’s wasteful), or you try your hand at getting that deodorant stain out by hand. Luckily for you, there’s a much easier, cleaner, and effective way to remove these white stains.

Instead of trying to spot clean these stains from your clothes with soap and water, rub at the stain vigorously with another piece of clean clothing (or a rag works fine too). The friction from the fabric will absorb the deodorant and disperse the particles so that the stain disappears like magic! This is much more effective, and gets rid of these stains from your clothes without getting them damp or making a mess.

Fabric Softener Performance Fabric

Why You Shouldn’t Use Fabric Softener On Your Performance Garments

Fabric softeners primarily come in two forms: liquid, or dryer sheets. Softeners are very popular to use when washing your clothes, eliminating static, softening fabric fibers, and even adding a lovely floral scent. However, you’ll definitely want to think twice before using fabric softener with your athletic clothes, lab coat, scrubs, or other performance fabrics.

When it comes to these performance fabrics, the fabric softener actually does more damage than good. Performance fabrics are made with technological features built in, such as moisture wicking or stain resistant – the problem with fabric softener is that it leaves a coating on the fibers of the fabric, so over time those technological features will fade.

This all has to do with the process by which fabric softener actually softens your clothes and linens. Fabric softener releases a sort of waxy substance onto your clothing – this is how it softens and prevents static cling. However, this is what makes your performance fabrics, well, not perform so well after you wash them with fabric softener. The difference may not be noticeable after the first wash, but it will build up over time.

The same principle applies to washing your towels or any micro-fiber fabrics. As a matter of fact, it is recommended in general that you not use heat to dry micro-fiber as it does a lot of damage to the fibers, making them lose all their moisture-wicking properties.

The moral of the story? Don’t use fabric softener with any fabric that has technological features!

Medelita Scrubs Easily Transition From Hot To Cold

Summer is almost here! This is my favorite season by far, but knowing how to dress for work in the summer is a challenge. It’s tempting to dress for the warm weather, but I know that as soon as I step in the office, the air conditioning will make me wish I had worn a winter parka. Conversely, if I dress for that colder temperature, I always regret it as soon as I step outside and start sweating.

There isn’t really an easy solution for this besides layering to no end. But if you work in an overly air conditioned hospital while it’s toasty outside, you also have the option of purchasing scrubs that help to regulate your internal temperature.

Medelita scrubs do just that. According to tons of reviews on this product, these are definitely the best option for medical scrubs that keep you warm and not shivering in the OR, but also breathe well enough that they are entirely comfortable to wear in scorching summer temps without sweating like a pig!

I don’t know about you, but this is definitely a game changer for how I look at my scrubs options in the summer and winter seasons. Did I mention that the material is so soft, you might as well be wearing pajamas?

Modern Fit Scrubs Review

Ladies, Here’s The Scrub Top You’ve Been Looking For

Let’s be real: most scrubs look like pajamas. And even more unfortunate, they are almost never as comfortable as a nice set of pjs. Most likely, your scrubs resemble the uniform that prisoners wear, but in a shade of blue or black rather than the infamous orange jumpsuit.

For women working in a medical profession, finding a set of scrubs that gives you the coverage you need is an additional challenge. Since most scrubs are unisex, they tend to be boxy, shapeless, and ill-fitting for a woman’s body: a deep v-neck scrub tops that exposes you every time you bend over, yet isn’t long enough to keep from riding up in the back. When you lift your arms, the sleeves gape open, again exposing you from the side.

Scrubs Top For Women

The good news is that you don’t need to settle for these manly scrub tops anymore. Medelita has designed a scrub top specifically for women, one that is both flattering and functional.

Here are some of the main features of the Medelita Modern Fit Women’s Scrub Top:

  2. Darted at the bust so that it fits your shape and curves

  4. Reinforced pocket seams that will withstand years of usage
  5. Improved fit so that the top is flattering but still professional
  6. Ergonomic design allowing ideal range of movement
  7. Option to get personalized embroidery
