What are the most comfortable scrubs for plus size nurses?

I always wear the Walmart scrubs. I am plus size also. I like them.

Mandala. Very comfortable and not too expensive.

Cherokee Workwear. They wear like iron, run true to size, and if you wash and dry them inside out they don't fade like other scrubs. I've had some everyday scrubs for over 5 years and some of the holiday scrubs I bought are over 10 years old. For folks who like stretchy fabrics, they might not be their cup of tea...but if you're looking for the best bang for your buck they are the ones I'd choose.

I wear butter soft. They are super comfy to me. I get them from uniform advantage online because I wear skirts. I also get tops that are fake wrap and they are extra long. That way I don't feel like my top is always riding up and are real roomy.

I would order mine online from a few companies with a large selection of brands. My "go-to" was UniformAdvantage.com

Lots to choose from, including holiday-themed, etc, and very reasonably priced. Good choice of sizes, styles, fabrics, and name brands such as Gray's and Cherokee, as well as their own 'bargain' brand, which was pretty comfy as well. Pretty quick delivery and never had to return anything or have missing items.

When I retired 18 months ago, including holiday ones, I had about 25 sets that I had 'collected' over time! Took them up to work and asked if anyone was interested ... they went FAST! One top even "disappeared" from someone's arm at one point, and the reaction was pretty funny! A little "faux" tug-of-war ensued, LOL! Since I was going to be moving, I didn't want to take the time to sell them, and my unit was pretty tight-knit, so I felt better about donating them to "my girls"! They really appreciated them too! After all, as you well know, scrubs can get Expensive!

I am also a plus-size nurse and Cherokee is the best.

Plus sized scrubs would be my recommendation.

Make sure the fabric has some percent of Spandex or something similar. This will allow for stretching and bending.

Wonder works for me the jogger sets because I’m short but comfortable good stretch and don’t wear out as fast
