Pockets: how many do you need
3 min read ยท Scrubberry

Pockets are the quiet hero of a scrub set. Too few and you juggle. Too many and you lose things.
Here is how to decide.
List what you carry
Write down what goes in your pockets in a normal shift. Pens, scissors, a notepad, a phone.
That is your number.
What we offer
The Men's V-Neck Scrub Top has pockets. The Men's Zip Front Scrub Jacket is a zip-front layer, so check its page for pocket details.
The Classic and Slim Fit sets have pockets on the top and pants, and the Jogger set lists a pocket on the top.
Mix to suit
Wear a pocket-rich top with plain pants, or the other way around.
Browse the tops and bottoms collection.
Set up your pockets
Give each pocket one job. Put pens in one, a notepad in another and keep a small item such as a hair tie in a third. After a few days your hand will go to the right place without thinking. Avoid overloading one side, since a heavy pocket can pull on the top.
If you need more room, add a jacket and check its page for pockets. Keep the load balanced and empty your pockets at the end of each shift. Check them again before you wash. Choose a top with the number of pockets that fits your list, and enjoy having a place for everything.
