It’s no secret that healthcare workers are always in demand, and working extremely long hours is not uncommon. So it’s no surprise if you often find yourself needing new quality scrubs tops or scrubs sets that don’t break the bank.
Here at Jaanuu, we’ve heard that call from medical professionals, and that’s why we offer some of the best value scrubs options on the market, making your shopping experience for med couture as easy and enjoyable as possible.
Remember, when shopping for medical uniforms or any work-specific apparel, you should consider a few things before making your purchase: fit, function, durability and value.
Fit
When you think “best fit” scrubs, what comes to mind? Do they sit comfortably? Are they unisex scrubs? Is this uniform so baggy it won’t fit under lab coats, or will it look professional within your workplace environment? When judging a quality set of scrubs, you’ll want to aim for something form-fitting but nothing too tight. If they’re too snug, they’ll be uncomfortable to wear during long shifts.
Functionality
Suppose you’re looking for the best scrubs for nursing or the best scrubs for doctors. You’ll want your uniform to be functional to a T for the healthcare environment. Functionality features can include:
- Pockets
- Pockets for cell phones
- D-rings or hidden clasps to clip your badge
- Fabric with an antimicrobial finish to keep away contaminants
- Moisture-wicking fabric with quick-drying properties
- Side vents in your uniform or a V-neck top to keep yourself cool
- A drawstring or an elastic waist for the pants to provide extra comfort and flexibility
Durability
If you’re looking for the best nursing scrubs that are budget-friendly, durability should also be at the top of your list. After all, how long your scrubs will last under repeated wear and tear will determine how much you spend on them. No point in buying scrubs on a budget when they aren’t high-quality and wind up wearing out quickly, making you buy replacements over and over again.
Value
When you compare the fit, function and durability against the scrub’s upfront price, how much are you saving now and in the long run? Will the most comfortable scrubs be the least expensive? With that in mind, we’ve put together a list of quality scrubs for the premium, budget-conscious healthcare worker to help you replenish your workwear.
Our top 6 best value scrubs for women
For women’s uniforms, we’ve picked our best value scrubs for tops, ranging from innovative spandex blends to mock wrap alternatives:
- Our Women’s Relaxed 3-Pocket Top. This option comes with a notched V-neck scrub top, a chest pocket, 2 patch pockets, side vents, and a hidden badge hem loop. Unlike a more general fabric like rayon, this top’s 4-way stretch FUSEryx™ fabric features an antimicrobial finish. The top is resistant to wrinkles and fading, allowing you to toss it in the washer and dryer easily time and again.
- Our 3/4 Sleeve V-Neck Top. Sometimes you’ll want a scrub that is a little more form-fitting, or perhaps longer sleeves during the cold winter months. With a notched crew neck and 3 pockets in total, this scrub top is made of our supersoft SPINryx™ knit fabric with an antimicrobial finish. Like the first option, it can be machine-washed and tumble-dried.
- Our Women’s 4-Pocket V-Neck Top. With this particular SPINryx™ knit option, you’ll get a relaxed fit, bottom side vents and 4 pockets in total. Additional perks include a standard antimicrobial finish that’s machine-washable.
If you’re in need of some women’s scrub pants, our top choices are:
- Our Essential 5-Pocket Jogger. As the name suggests, this is a jogger scrub option where you can’t go wrong. These joggers feature a mid-rise waistline and a relaxed fit that ends in a tapered leg. They also have an elastic waistband and cuffs, as well as 4-way stretch scrub fabric, with 5 pockets in total.
- Our 8-Pocket Slim Cargo Pant. This is another budget-friendly option, and one with extra pockets, which makes it even better. These cargo scrub pants have a mid-rise waistband and 8 pockets, some of which are cargo pockets. They’re also constructed of antimicrobial-finished FUSEryx™ fabric and are wrinkle and fade-resistant.
- You also have the Essential Drawstring Pant. With 5 pockets, including several back pockets, a durable woven fabric and a relaxed fit, these 4-way stretch pants will get you through the day and survive frequent machine washes, too.
Our top 6 best value scrubs for men

Remember, when shopping for medical uniforms, you should always keep a few core features in mind: fit, function, durability and, of course, cost.
