Shopping scrubs online can be tricky—especially when sizes vary by brand and style. If you’ve ever wondered “Will this fit me?” you’re not alone. This guide breaks down PH body type tips, exact measurements to take, and how our Basic+ Joggers compare with MAXX+ Tapered Pants so you can order with confidence.
🇵🇭 Section 1: PH Body Type Considerations
We designed our scrubs with Filipino body types in mind. Here are quick tips before you pick a size:
- Petite (≤155 cm): Consider sizes that prevent pooling at the ankles. Joggers help because of the cuff. Look for adjustable waistbands and check inseam length.
- Curvy: Prioritize hip and waist comfort. Choose styles with stretch and room in the seat and thighs (hello, All-Day). If between sizes, size up for movement.
- Tall (≥170 cm): Check rise and inseam. Straight cuts often give a longer line; joggers keep length neat with cuffs.
Pro tip: If your top and bottom measurements fall in different size ranges, consider mixing sizes (e.g., M top, L joggers) for a perfect set.
🧵 Section 2: How to Measure (Bust, Waist, Hips, Inseam)
Grab a soft tape measure. Wear fitted clothing (or measure over underwear) for accuracy.
- Bust/Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.
- Natural Waist: Measure the narrowest part of your torso (above the navel, below the ribcage). Relax—don’t suck in.
- Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips/seat.
- Inseam (Bottoms): Measure from the crotch down to the ankle bone (inside leg). For joggers, this can be slightly shorter because cuffs sit above the shoe.
Once you have your numbers, compare them to our official Size Guide. If your measurements straddle two sizes, use the body area that matters most for comfort (usually hips for bottoms, bust for tops).
👖 Section 3: Fit Comparison — Jogger vs Straight Cut
Basic+ Joggers
- Best for: Active shifts, petite bodies (cuffs prevent pooling), anyone who loves an athletic fit.

❓ Quick FAQ
What if I’m between sizes?
If you’re between sizes, choose based on comfort and intended fit:
- More fitted/streamlined look: pick the smaller size (especially for joggers with stretch).
- Relaxed, roomier feel or curvy hips: pick the larger size (especially for straight cuts).
If bust or hips are your widest area, prioritize that measurement. You can always tailor hems for length.
