The breakdown
Each brand, fairly
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 (~$78). 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, free shipping starts at $79 rather than $50, and the tops carry fewer pockets.
FIGS
FIGS
FIGS offers the widest size range here (XXS–6XL) with petite and tall lengths, pocket-heavy pants, and the largest color selection. Its tops are the priciest in this group at $42, and a typical set runs about $94.
Jaanuu
Jaanuu
Jaanuu is the most fashion-forward of the group, with a tailored silhouette and good size inclusivity (XXS–3X with petite and tall). It is the most expensive set here (around $100), and the fit runs snug — many reviewers suggest sizing up.
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.
How we compare
How to read this
We score LumiScrubs styles ourselves in a public testing database — the same six metrics we use across our dental, vet, and med-spa guides. We did not run those tests on FIGS, Jaanuu, or Mandala; their numbers here are read straight from each brand’s official product pages on June 3, 2026. We update this page when prices or size runs change.
Questions shoppers ask
LumiScrubs vs FIGS vs Jaanuu vs Mandala — FAQ
Is LumiScrubs the same as FIGS?
No — LumiScrubs is an independent brand. Our flagship fabric uses the same 72% polyester / 21% rayon / 7% spandex four-way-stretch spec FIGS publishes for FIONx, which is why the hand-feel is similar. That is a shared spec, not a shared company, and a typical set runs about $16 lower.
Which brand is cheapest?
Mandala — a top near $20 and joggers near $30, so a set lands around $50. LumiScrubs sits in the middle (~$78 a set), with FIGS (~$94) and Jaanuu (~$100) above.
Which has the most pockets?
For pants, FIGS leads (up to 11 on the Yola) with Mandala close behind (9 on its joggers). For tops, Jaanuu’s 4-pocket Kass is the most generous. LumiScrubs tops carry 1–2 pockets.
Does LumiScrubs offer petite and tall?
Not yet. FIGS, Jaanuu, and Mandala all offer petite and tall inseams; LumiScrubs currently runs XS–3XL in a single length.
