Scrubs Size Guide Pakistan: How to Measure & Find Your Perfect Fit
Buying scrubs online means you can’t try them on first — and the most common reason for a replacement isn’t the fabric or the color, it’s guessing the size. This guide walks you through exactly how to measure yourself at home in under two minutes, plus the full Medyss size chart so you can match your numbers to the right size with confidence.
Why Scrub Sizing in Pakistan Can Be Confusing
Every brand cuts differently, and “your usual size” in shalwar kameez or shirts doesn’t translate directly to scrubs. Scrub sets are designed for movement — reaching, bending, standing for 12-hour shifts — so the fit is roomier through the shoulders and chest than regular clothing, with practical room in the trouser for layering or quick movement.
Medyss scrubs are made from stretchable, wrinkle-free poly spandex, which gives you a little extra flexibility if you’re between two sizes — but getting your base measurements right still makes the biggest difference in how the scrubs feel after hour six of a shift.
How to Measure Yourself for Scrubs (3 Measurements, 2 Minutes)
You’ll need a soft tape measure and a friend if possible — it’s easier than measuring yourself.
Chest Measurement
Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, under your arms and across your shoulder blades. Keep the tape level and snug but not tight. Measure over a light t-shirt for a realistic fit.
Waist Measurement
Measure around your natural waistline — usually just above your belly button, where your body naturally bends. Don’t pull the tape tight; let it sit comfortably.
Length / Height Check
For tops, measure from the top of your shoulder to where you want the shirt to fall (hip or just below). For trousers, measure from your waist to your ankle. This helps you check the “Length” row in the chart below matches where you want the hem to sit.
Quick tip: Write your numbers down in inches — our chart below is in inches to match standard scrub sizing.

How to Use This Chart
Match your chest measurement to the shirt chart first — this is the most important fit point for comfort and movement. Then match your waist measurement to the trouser chart. If your chest and waist fall into different size columns, go with the larger size for the shirt, since a tight shirt across the shoulders is the most common comfort complaint during long shifts.
Between Two Sizes? Here’s How to Decide
- Choose the larger size if you do a lot of bending, reaching, or wear scrubs over an undershirt — the stretchable fabric will still keep the fit clean, not baggy.
- Choose the smaller size if you prefer a slim, tailored look and plan to wear scrubs as your outer layer without anything underneath.
- If you’re unsure, chest and waist measurements are more reliable than your usual clothing size — always go by the numbers in the chart above.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size should a male doctor with a 40-inch chest order?
Based on the Medyss men’s chart, a 40-inch chest falls closest to size S — check the shoulder and length measurements too if you prefer a longer or shorter fit.
Do Medyss scrubs run true to size?
Our scrubs are designed to fit true to the measurements in the chart above. If your size doesn’t fit as expected, we offer free replacements — just reach out to us on WhatsApp and we’ll sort it out.
Can I get my Medyss scrubs altered after purchase?
Yes — since scrubs are made from stretchable fabric, minor alterations to length or waist can usually be done by a local tailor without affecting the fit elsewhere.
What’s the difference between men’s and women’s scrub sizing?
Women’s scrubs are cut with a closer fit through the waist and shorter shoulder/sleeve measurements, while men’s scrubs are cut broader through the chest and shoulders. Always use the chart for your category rather than converting from regular clothing sizes.
What if I order the wrong size?
No issue — contact us on WhatsApp and we’ll replace your order with the correct size, free of charge.
How many scrub sets should I own?
Most healthcare professionals on 12-hour shifts find 3–5 sets ideal, so you always have a clean set ready while others are in the wash.
