Scrubs man, the sizing of them... After I got the exciting news that I got the job, I read over the package that came with it. I was required to wear scrubs and thankfully had the freedom to wear any colour or print I liked.  I live in a small town and hit up our areas version of whale-mart, as I knew they sold scrubs. It’s a wasteland there. NO cargo-style pants for sale. Only the stretchy-sweatpants kind. It was mostly unisex, very few women’s cuts. Somehow, there was 5 pairs of 4XL pants, an endless supply of 3XL and various other abomination sizes.  I thought I was in the clear when I found a small set. Something in the back of my head told me to try it on. Good thing I did. The pant legs were dragging on the floor. The waist of the pants we’re hanging halfway down my hips, even if I drew the string. The top was way too lose and I looked like a shapeless blob. I’m aware scrubs are suppose to have a looser fit, this set just has way too much loose material. I asked the store employee for the clothing section if they carried any smaller sizes and got the dirtiest look ever. It was so funny  From what people say online, you’re suppose to size down in scrubs. I wear a size 2-4, so I’d be wearing a xs or xxs (???) in scrubs! I went online to one store, and the xxs has a 28 waist! This is a women’s set. Not unisex. I’m not even going to attempt unisex. Thank goodness I finally found 2 xs sets of scrubs, and they were on clearance! 30 dollars a set and they fit perfectly. I can move around in them and there’s not too much wasted material. Seeing as you need to size down in scrubs, I’m struggling to comprehend how we have 5XL sized nurses. Are they triage nurses that barely move? Or just not doing their jobs properly so they’re lazy? Oh god. Not sure how people smaller than me buy scrubs. My bmi is only 20.5
