Heading out into your first nursing job after graduating from university is such a fun and exciting time. But it also can be so incredibly scary and nerve racking. We want to help get rid of at least some of those nerves for you. We designed our scrubs in hopes that they can help healthcare workers look and feel their best all day (and night) while at work, whether it’s your first-ever shift or your thousandth shift.  Choosing a pair of scrubs that will make you feel the most comfortable and confident, can have a surprisingly positive influence on the way you feel throughout your shift and even the way you perform. At Scrub Lab, we understand that everyone has different styles and colours that make you feel your best. We have multiple styles of scrub tops and scrub pants for both men and women to choose from. Whether you prefer a tailored fit pant, a more relaxed jogger fit pant, or if you prefer a v-neck top or a crew neck top, we truly have it all!  Another important decision to make when it comes to your first pair of scrubs is what colour you want to wear for your very first day. A lot of people love our core colours which include a lot of neutral colours and a selection of blues. If you want to blend in more or simply prefer these colours, our core range is definitely the place for you. However, if you feel more confident in brighter colours we always have different limited edition colours which often include pinks, purples, reds/maroons, greens, and other colour options. You can take a look at our current limited-edition colours here.  Hopefully, we’ve been able to help make you feel at least a little less nervous and more excited about your upcoming first day!

At Scrub Lab, we do our best to make our scrubs easy for you to purchase, but we understand it can be confusing to know which collection you should purchase from!  Our Core range As expected, Our main collection is perfect for all healthcare workers no matter what industry you’re in. This collection is all made from our SLTech fabric, which we believe is game-changing for healthcare workers. Scrub Lab started with nurses in mind and developing the perfect scrubs that are not only comfortable and practical but also stylish! Over the years, we have taken the time to refine our designs and make sure that we have scrubs that are perfect for everyone, in all areas of healthcare. Our base collection is made up of 4 women's scrub pant options and 3 women’s scrub top options of completely different styles to make sure there is a perfect option for you. For men, we also have many options, consisting of 2 different pants and 4 different tops. Shop this collection today! Our vet range We recently brought out our vet collection which we created with vets in mind, but is still a great choice for a range of healthcare workers. The vet collection is made from our specialised SLVTech fabric. This fabric is very similar to our base fabric, however, it has been reformulated with vets in mind. In addition to all of the great features in our base fabric, this new fabric is also anti-static meaning any hair or fur from your patients will fall straight off with the swipe of your hand. This fabric is also liquid-resistant which means any water, or other fluids you may get on you throughout your day.  While we have called this our ‘vet range’ and it is perfect for those in the veterinary industry, it’s also a great option for nurses, and people in all areas of healthcare. You can shop our vet range for men and women today. Our tailored range Our final collection (for now) is our tailored range, This is our smallest range and as of right now we only have women's scrubs available in this range. These scrubs are, as the name suggests, a more tailored fit and the top features a mandarin stand collar with back pleats and an asymmetrical button fastening. These scrubs are made from the same ultra-soft and stretchy fabric as our core range so you can trust that these scrubs will be just as comfortable, even though they are a more tailored fit.  This collection was designed for those working in the dental and beauty industries, however, they are just as perfect for anyone who needs scrubs despite the industry you’re in. You can shop our tailored range here!

Comfortable AND fashionable scrubs for nurses? Groundbreaking. No, but actually. One of the most important skills you learn as a nurse – yes more important than finding an IV pole or not missing your first cannula– is learning how to multitask. Whether if you’re in a busy ED or working the dreaded the night shift, multitasking is a skill that takes great practice and finesse. We can all agree that comfortable and well-fitting scrubs make all the difference. It all comes down to what you wear, that has an impact the way you feel and in turn, affects the way you act and perform. You’ve heard the phrase ‘dress for success’ but we say that success is embracing your best self. The perfect fit does exist. So what are you waiting for? Reach for a set of scrubs that can make you feel empowered, confident, and most importantly YOU.  Here’s what to consider when it comes to choosing the perfect pair. How to Choose High Quality Scrub Pants Not only are your days long, but you also have to wear many different hats and do a range of different things during your shift. You’re the ultimate multitasker that practically lives in your uniform. When trying to find the best scrub pants, you’ll want to choose high quality scrubs. This comes down to the material which should have plenty of stretch, be super soft and odour-wicking, while also incorporating function, form and style. Be on the look out for scrubs that are microbial, wrinkle resistant, super-soft and provide four ways stretch for supreme comfort. There’s nothing better than being comfortable so that you’re ready for whatever your day throws at you. Scrub Pant Styles Joggers in Women’s and Men’s Scrub Pant Joggers are versatile to the highest degree. They will often have elasticised or cuffed ankles and feature a tapered cut/ fit that becomes slimmer down the leg. They are constructed with mobility and comfort in mind. Whether you’re on the grind or on the clock, joggers are always on – comfort never takes a break, even when you do. Shop Lucy Shop Howard Straight Leg Women’s and Men’s Scrub Pant For all those ‘I don’t know what to wear days’ there's the straight leg scrub pants that have pockets in all the right places. Never be without extra medical tape when your patient accidentally pulls out their cannula. Let your pants do all the talking when you pull out extra meds, hand sanitiser or a sneaky snack. You'll be ‘ready for any situation’! Shop Edith Shop Victor Some Factors to Consider When Choosing Nurse Scrubs Pants Fit and Proportion Balance isn’t something you find, but something you create. When finding the ultimate nurse pants, you should consider how you want them to fit. Maybe you like looking like you have legs for days, or maybe you love how your favourite pants give you an hourglass figure. Try and replicate these styles with your scrub pants. But bear in mind that not all scrubs have the sizing, so it's always wise to consult the size guide.  Size From runways to Tiktoks to insta feeds, oversized clothes are everywhere. However, when you’re looking for scrub pants, make sure they’re the right size. As a nurse you’re going to be constantly on the move. You don’t want oversized or baggy pants to get in the way. Our scrubs are more on the fitted side, so if you're looking for a looser fit - we would recommend to size up. Being comfortable and confident is our mission, and we feel that scrub pants that fit well just hits differently.   Style and Design When it comes to style and design, listen to your heart desire. It's all about YOU, and what YOU want! For those that love a matching set, we have a range of nurse scrub pants that come in our core and limited edition drops.  Fabric Fabric is the core of any good scrubs. It contributes to the comfort, durability, and maintenance of your scrubs. Comfy fabric means that your scrubs can move the way you need it to. Scrubs need to be washed regularly as well, so a good fabric will be durable enough to last week to week washes. But always remember to follow the washing instructions to ensure you get the most out of your scrubs. Pockets It’s the number of pockets for us. A high number of pockets on your nurse scrub pants makes multitasking look easy, breezy and beautiful. But a word of warning: when choosing your ideal number of pockets, think about function over number. Colour Is colour really the new black? Shake up your options by trying new shades to switch up your style. Get a shade that gives ‘look at me now’ energy to help energise you during your shift. Level up on your scrub game with a colour that makes you look fab, while also serving confidence - all day, every day.  Make your moment at Scrub Lab Your scrubs say a lot about you. Whether you love form-fitting, on trend joggers or a clean-cut and classic straight pants, our collection of scrub pants will help you get through your jam-packed days and tough nights. Pick your fave or try a new style today by shopping online. Let us know which team you prefer, whether it's Team Joggers, Straight or Skinny Leg Pants and leave us a comment at @scrublab__

Be a Smarty Pants: Things You Need to Know Before Buying Scrub Pants This is a love letter to good scrub pants. Good scrub pants are like that one nurse that you can always count on for any shift and makes your day a little easier, something you can rely on whatever your day throws at you. As they say, keep your heads, heels and standards high. This is also true for finding the perfect pair of scrub pants. For us, we think that scrub pants should start with good side pockets. Whoever made pants without functional side pockets was seriously kidding themselves. When you’re looking for your ultimate go-to pants, colour is important too. Ceil, Navy and Black scrub pants are some of the common colours that nurses gravitate towards when they start their roles. It is best to check with your workplace what colour they prefer, but these safe colours are your go-to for any shift. Obviously, quality is a must (duh!). You don’t want to spend money on cheap scrubs that will fade easily after a single wash. Here is our take on what things you should look for before buying scrub pants. Never Lower Your Standards: Choose High-Quality Materials for Scrub Pants According to a US study, a 12-hour shift will get you moving an average of 4 miles. In kilometres, this is just under 6.5km, and that doesn’t even include all the moving and reaching you do on the job. Being a healthcare worker is not just a tough job, but also needs extreme stamina and endurance. Nurses are on their feet almost their entire shift. Find scrubs that are made with frontliners in mind. What does this mean? Make sure your scrubs pants have side pockets you can actually use. Good scrub pockets are like Mary Poppins’ magical bag, just endless possibilities. We asked one of our medical besties what was in her pockets, and she found gloves, three different kinds of pens, alcohol wipes, lip balm, scissors, tape, a stethoscope, and the list goes on. You also want them to be the right length and fit, so they’re not dragging on the floor and you don’t want to be caught off guard when you’re bending over (somethings can’t be unseen). Find scrubs that are made from strong materials that are spun for maximum durability, to ensure it meets the highest level of quality. Without maximum durability standards, your scrubs will be prone to tears after only a few washes. Let’s be real, we are not about buying scrubs every single week. High quality materials last longer and can even have other features, like including antimicrobial technology to inhibit the growth of microorganisms in fabric and provide anti-odour protection. A Match Made in Heaven: Other Things to Consider When Finding the Right Scrub Pants Style Scrubs only started becoming a thing in the 90s. Even though everyone was really excited to stop wearing oversized dresses, scrub pants were still uncomfortable and felt quite heavy. Nowadays, scrubs are made to mirror modern cuts and can even feel like PJs – but finding the right scrub pants for you comes down to your own personal style. Finding your personal style can often be confusing and overwhelming… And honestly, who has the time to sit down and think about all the clothes you like to wear? When you don’t know what your style is, that’s when we end up with a closet full of clothes that we don’t like wearing. Look at the clothes you love to wear and note down similarities. Think about if you prefer straight legged jeans or if you live in athleisure joggers. This is a good place to start to find scrubs that suit your style. Colour Colour is a great place to experiment with your style and personality. At Scrub Lab, each of our colours from lilac to black are hand picked and custom dyed – we’re not fans of buying colours off the shelf! Size Finding the right size is the key for staying comfortable all day. You’ll want to make sure your pants aren’t too loose and that they drag on the floor or can get easily caught on hospital equipment. Similarly, make sure you can raise your arms in your scrub top without being restricted. If you work in a particularly cold workplace, make sure you’ve got enough room underneath your top for under scrubs. Find What Complements You: The Best Scrub Pants for Your Body Type Just like a life partner, you want your scrubs to help you be the best version of yourself. Here are a few important things you should know to find scrubs that fit perfectly, so you can flaunt what you’ve got! These are our tips for using the handy Scrub Lab size guide to find your perfect fit. Waist and Inseam Measure the waistband of the pants from the inside to find your waist size. You can also measure around your exposed waist where the waistband would usually rest. Our scrub pants come with drawstrings so you can be as snatched as you want… or give yourself a bit more breathing room if someone’s brought baked goods to the breakroom. Your inseam is the measurement from the top of the inner leg pant seam to the opening at the bottom of your pant leg. Our scrubs lengths come in regular, tall, and petite/short to help you get a fit that is perfect for you! Rise Low-rise, mid-rise, and high-rise are usually words we hear get thrown around when we’re talking about jeans. Despite what the Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants says, there’s not one style of pant that can suit everyone. Finding the right pair can come down to personal preference or how much you want it to complement your figure. Low-Rise: We’ll blame the revival of Y2K for the return of low-rise pants. This hip-hugging style looks best on people with a shorter torso who are wanting to balance their body. Mid-Rise: Mid rise sits just above the hips, and some of the most figure-friendly cuts. It is a very versatile that can suit a wide range of people and body types. High-Rise: These pants sit at your true waist and hips or completely covering your belly button. High rise pants create longer lines by creating the illusion of longer legs. If you have an hourglass or pear shape, it can even accentuate your curves. Cuts Straight Cut: Straight cut has a narrow leg but does not flare at the ankle. If you’ve got a pear or hourglass shape, this cut can emphasise your shape! Skinny Leg Cut: With the increase in popularity of the 70s and disco flare pants, skinny leg cuts have become more divisive nowadays. We think skinny leg cuts are great because they suit a range of shapes, from pear, hourglass to apple and athletic. Joggers: Joggers flatter a straight figure, or people that want to draw attention to their hips and thighs. The tapered leg style will emphasise the angle of your body from your hips to your ankles. If you have more of a pear shape, opt for a high rise fit to give you more shape. For those that need extra leg room and a defined waist, our styles will be your best friend and go to for your workday. Find your perfect pair of scrub pants at Scrub Lab As long as you feel like your pants support you and you feel fabulous in them, that’s all that matters! When finding the pair for you, think about your own standards. Maybe scrubs pants with a large number of side pockets are most important, or maybe it’s not the number of pockets but the type of pockets. Whatever you’re looking for, explore the latest styles at Scrub Lab. From Ceil Blue to Black, our scrub tops and pants come in a range of colours so you can express your personality at work. We think, if you find a style you love, grab one in every colour. Who says dressing fun is only for the weekend?

Nurses didn’t just start wearing scrubs out of nowhere… Let’s take it back to the 1980s. Nursing students undertaking their training in the 80s remember wearing a pinstriped dress with white stockings and shoes, topped with a brown cape. Others remember a buttoned-down uniform and wearing caps. Some remember pale, yellow-coloured dresses with red pins that looked a lot liked scrambled eggs and sauce. Whatever the uniform, nurses wore them with pride, but little could be said about its comfort. Let’s just say these uniforms did not understand the assignment.   Not to be dramatic or anything, but it’s mind-blowing what good scrubs can do. Not only are they super comfortable, but they can help you work the best you can. Here’s the tea on why healthcare professionals are obsessed with scrubs.    Who wears the pants? It’s surprising to think that we’ve only been using new and improved medical scrubs in Australia since the 1990s. It wasn’t until the 1990s when female nurses successfully advocated for pants to be a part of their uniform. Trousers were not just more functional, but more practical in a hospital and clinical environment where their work was physically strenuous.   This change to medical uniforms came about to reflect the changing needs of women in Australia. This change mirrored the importance of team when it comes to patient focus. When you wear comfortable, functional scrubs, you can give patients the best care you can, keeping patient experience at the centre.   Both nurses and doctors work side by side to care for patients and so, they both wear scrubs. It’s less about your job title and more about providing excellent care as a team. There’s more of a level playing field when it comes to healthcare professionals. Every single healthcare professional has an equal part to play!   Since the adoption of scrubs, very few clinical staff members choose to wear a skirt or dress. Not only are scrubs practical, but they’re also easier to wash and are much more comfortable. Talk about a glow up!   Why industries are turning to medical scrubs more than ever Knowing the who’s who in healthcare   When healthcare professionals wear scrubs, it is easier to identify medical personnel. Often different departments use different colours, such as emergency care, general or ICU so it’s easier to find the right healthcare worker when you need one. Scrub uniforms are helpful when patients need to find a nurse, as well.   Just as other industries are proud of their uniforms, healthcare uniforms should be worn as a hard-earned badge of honour - you deserve it bestie!    Teamwork makes the dream work  When everyone wears medical scrubs, it shows that you’re a united team. Uniforms show that every single person on the team is important and has a role to play. When you wear a uniform, you are a part of a unit that can celebrate their hard work together.   Easy to clean   When you start out with high quality scrubs from the get-go, they will have more life in them. Look for scrubs that use the highest-grade materials, with maximum durability so you can clean them over and over again without having to worry about wear and tear. Scrubs need to be easily cleaned to help protect healthcare workers and patients and to keep bacteria at bay.   Staying fresh and sanitary   Look for scrubs that are treated with antimicrobial technology so that the fibres and fabrics can last longer. The right fabrics can even inhibit the growth of micro-organisms to provide anti-odour protection so that scrubs can stay fresh. Look for SILVADUR technology when finding durable and lasting scrubs.   Uniforms make our lives easier  Did you know that the average adult makes approximately 3,500 decisions a day? There’s a reason why people like Karl Lagerfeld and Steve Jobs opted for a uniform. Uniforms can help simplify your pre-work routine, so you save that energy and brain power for when you need it... at work!   Be in the comfort zone  Not only are scrubs comfortable, but they’re also functional and practical for anything that work throws at you. Your work will probably have you moving around a lot, so you want to make sure that your scrubs aren’t too tight or loose so that nothing gets in your way … or in your patient’s way.   Which scrubs are right for you? To figure out which scrubs are right for you, think about what your non-negotiables are when it comes to scrubs. You want to make sure your scrubs not only last a marathon, but also a sprint.   Made for movement: Look for scrubs with four-way stretch and that are ridiculously soft.   Pockets galore: Think about how many pockets you actually need. It depends on your comfort level and work habits. Will having a chest pocket actually weigh you down, or will having back pockets actually feel too bulky? It’s not about having 5 pockets or 12 pockets, but about how functional they are!   Plenty of Legroom: Make sure your scrubs don’t get in the way of your movements. Comfort is important, especially when you’re doing long shifts or going from AM to PM or vice versa.   Listen, we got you! We have a breakdown of scrub pants here to help you find the best fit for you. Read our handy guide to find the pants that are right for you. Healthcare workers are at the heart of why we make medical uniforms in Australia.
