HUGE Scrubs Review | Figs WHO?!

Welcome to another huge, in-depth scrub review! In this video, I test a bunch of popular scrub brands including Mandala, Mediclo, Cherokee iFlex, Tiscrubs, Figs, and Garde Malade. I am a dental student full time so I wear scrubs daily and definitely have tried a lot at this point and felt like we had a great mix of options in this video! This video is not sponsored and I am not working with any of the brands mentioned.

Love your channel Kathryn. Always my go to for anything scrub or legging related. Congrats on finishing school, I’m in my junior semester for my traditional BSN program.

[@madelinemitchell4888]

Love your scrub reviews even though at my clinic we have to wear a specific style in a specific color 😓 but my favorite I've tried before that are the Dickies Balance scrubs! Super stretchy and tall girl friendly, and decently affordable. 😊

Because you know how to review, we would all love to hear your favorite top and bottom from each review and why. Thanks for all the great info!

[@singingpinkclover]

Thank you so so much for letting us know YOUR size! it's really hard to decide on the size without knowing what the model is wearing. I was struggling with which size to buy for Cherokee, and I'm now definitely going to the smallest size... Thank you again this was really informative :))

[@gummydorky]

If you like the Cherokee iflex line, i tend to recommend the KOI - Planet Eco range - they have some ribbing that makes it very form fitting and flattering, not as stretchy as iflex, but enough to be comfortable.

[@sandyrodriguez8397]

I’m not as tall as you are but your sizing is mine in petite so thank you for being super thorough. I can’t wait to see more. I’d be interested in seeing a video on scrub reviews from small businesses or cheapest scrubs available. Maybe international idk. I’m going to be living in scrubs soon 😂

[@emilykress5024]

Yess!! So excited for this. I need to try something other than figs

[@KathrynMueller]

So many other great brands!

[@caffeinated77777]

Thank you for making these reviews! I am 5’9” .it’s always such a struggle to find scrubs that are comfy and long enough. I bought the Cherokee iflex In navy and I instantly went online to buy it in black after I tried it on 😂

[@KathrynMueller]

The Cherokee iflex is amazing!!🤩

[@lauren8135]

I have the mandala scrubs I like their one pocket top it looks good tucked in or untucked. I don’t love the bottoms though, they are really high to the point where when you sit they sometimes feel uncomfortable on your abdomen, or the band will bunch up like crazy. I think for the price they are pretty good, but yeah I think if I repurchased trying to regular rise would be a good idea, like you mentioned here. Thanks for the review!

It is the disrespectful cat slap at 10:45 for me 😂. Thank you so much for your review! I am starting home care so I’m looking for affordable scrubs that can take a beating but will allow me to squat, bend, etc when I’m providing patient care. What are your top/favorite Amazon scrubs?

[@kiara8586]

😆

[@jessicamm1316]

Thanks for the review! What color is the Cherokee one? So cute!

[@prviolist]

Yeees, the iFlex are my favorite Cherokee scrubs too. I preferred the pants with the waistband, but I had to size down to XS and get the tall length.

[@rd9728]

Can’t wait to give this a watch. I REFUSE to buy figs . Firstly because I hate being like everyone else and two THEIR INSANE PRICES. Like dude I’m just gonna get blood on this I’m not spending $58 on pants 😂

[@Misty-sz1qh]

I also refuse to buy figs bc everyone who wears them has bleach stains all over, which none of my scrubs have.

[@laughter95]

$38.40 for pants, $30.40 for shirts rn at 20% off sale for Nurses Week.

[@damimac10]

@@laughter95 Yes! I only buy Figs when they are on sale. They also had end of the year sale and up to 35% off on certain colors

[@theresego2839]

Figs/garde malade: For figs, if you order the catarina top, i suggest you size up if you want a little room for movement (i am a L and I bought XL, fits really good).. however if you want it fitted. I suggest you buy the size you usually are. For the rafaela top (figs), buy the size you usually are since this scrub top is a bit loose already… For the joggers/pants If your height is 5’4” and below, i suggest you buy the petit For 5’5”-5’7” buy the regular For 5’8” and above, buy the tall. Garde Malade This is a good brand as well. It is soft, good color and quality. It is the same sizing as figs. The only thing is that on the groin area, you will notice just a bit of fabric bumps when you wear it more than 2x… usually this is normal for scrub pants but I find figs has more good quality and it does not wear easily. This 2 brands are the ones I like out of all i had.

[@JBums1028]

Have you reviewed Dolan scrubs? They popped up on my IG the other day and they have some interesting scrub top styles. Also these reviews are super helpful! I might be going back to school in the fall for an Allied Health training program, so knowing what other brands exist besides FIGS is really nice

[@valeried9741]

The Cherokee scrubs are so cute omg

[@ST-vt4nu]

I work in archaeology so I have to wear very different workclothes haha, but I bet this is very usefull for people! I always have issues finding good work pants. They are always too big in the waist. It's already really hard to find work pants that are high waisted and not some awkward midwaist and it's hard to find a lengt short enough for me at 5'2, since fsr they only expect taller women to do fysical work that would need workpants? I wish someone made a video like this for those 😅

[@Xtine_628]

Thank you for the reviews!! I love that pink on you in the with the mandala scrubs, I definitely want those Christmas colored scrubs lol As an avid buyer of Figs I will say they have recently changed their high waisted joggers, the band is similar to the original zamora joggers now.

[@conniethehoarder]

My friend who is a resident recommended the Mandala pants to me. for tennis, the pockets look cool

[@kaylabretzin1775]

I always have issues with the waist being too big just because I carry a lot of my weight in my butt and thighs (and calves) The only scrubs that work for me are Skechers by Barco. I haven't tried figs but I did try Mandala and it was pretty comical how big the waist was on the pair that actually fit my legs and oh my god they smelled so bad!

[@SoyAleAlabarda]

I looooove every review you post, since I’m a doctor i also enjoy your health related reviews and vlogs 💖 i think every og scrub brand like cherooke or barco run big, to the point it’s ridiculous and you can’t really trust the size chart. I have never bought figs, and i do want to try them, but since i have trust issues from the sizing on other brands i use I’m not sure they would fit correctly on me. My favorite scrubs ever are the skechers by barco. Try the vitality v neck with the reliance cargo pants. They are super lightweight, stretchy and give you a really nice shape. I don’t really mind that they aren’t water repellent since i get too hot in that kind of fabric anyway. I wear xxs and mi hips are 27” so maybe you could also be that size. Maybe you could do a review for shoes specifically for wearing with your scrubs since i think a lot of people struggle to find cute and comfortable shoes for all day wear, or also lightweight jackets, i was thinking of getting the queenie k for work but i don’t know if i should go up a size or even if it would be that comfortable 🥲 TIA!! X💖

[@SoyAleAlabarda]

Oh i forgot to mention the skechers are also really cheap, like $42 for the set, and i buy them from all heart scrubs, they have promos and sales frequently🥰

[@cheriser9181]

I don’t even wear scrubs but I’m here for the excellent reviews anyway lol

[@thecreative_b_]

you should look into lago to review. They are a newer brand and have a decent fit but what I love about them is that they used recycled bottles to make their scrubs!!

[@AdriannieBio]

Love being 6’4 watching this trying to figure out how stuff is going to fit

[@jensmith9621]

Hi have you reviewed CODE NXT scrubs before? I’m starting my 1st job in healthcare. I watched a couple of your video yesterday so I can order scrubs. I like how you go into so much detail when reviewing. Thx for that

Don’t waste your $ on figs. Lots of bleach used in the ED to wipe down stretchers and they will bleach figs scrubs

[@sassygurl8615]

You should do a quality update because I loved medico at first but really wasn’t happy how they lasted over time, the fabric looked kind of funny and dull after a few washes

I ended up buying the cherokee iflex tapered drawstring pants set. They are perfect! So comfortable! I ordered my normal size small. However, I think that style is being discontinued.

[@grrpaco15]

They (mandala scrubs) also have the one pocket top like figs! I love that one ☺️ Personally, I find their high waisted joggers to not be too high rise (I did order petite) and I’m 5’1. Also the petite was really on the shorter side for me so I’m gonna get regular length next. Maybe the rise changes between petite/tall sizing…?

[@KathrynMueller]

That’s a good point!! It must be higher for different sizes, which is a good thing honestly!

[@Gemsfit]

Hi 😊✋🏽can you do a knight swim review (gabby scheyen’s brand). I double checked and it doesn’t look like you have reviewed it yet, her brand looks really cute and it seems like good quality there’s just not really any reviews out there or not very many I should say.
