LumiScrubs
LumiScrubs
LumiScrubs uses the same 72% polyester / 21% rayon / 7% spandex four-way-stretch blend FIGS publishes for its FIONx fabric — a shared spec, not a shared company — at a lower set price (~$65). Every style is scored in a public testing database, and orders carry a 90-day guarantee. The honest trade-offs: sizing stops at 3XL with no petite or tall yet, and the tops carry fewer pockets.
Mandala
Mandala
Mandala is the lowest-priced of the group by a wide margin — a set lands near $50 — with pocket-heavy joggers (9), a wide size run (XXS–5XL with maternity), and radical price transparency on every product page.
