We Make Scrubs. Here's What We Believe.

We Make Scrubs. Here's What We Believe.

Why Our Scrubs Are $68 (And FIGS Are $96)

We get this question a lot: "Are your scrubs cheaper because the quality is worse?"

Short answer: no.

Long answer: We sent both Eipnare and FIGS to the same textile lab in early 2026. Both came back as poly-rayon-spandex blends within 1% of each other on every fiber. The fabric construction is nearly identical.

So why the gap?

Three reasons:

1. We don't have a $40 million ad budget.
2. We sell direct from our manufacturer. No wholesale markup, no department store cut.
3. We don't do limited color drops. Scarcity is a pricing tactic, not a quality feature.

That's the whole answer. We could charge $96. We choose not to.


What we focused on instead

When we designed Eipnare, we had one rule: build the scrub we'd want to wear if we were on the floor for 12 hours. That meant making three things non-negotiable.

Six necklines, not one or two. Most brands give you a V-neck and call it a day. We make Classic V-Neck, Mandarin Collar, Notch Neck, Henley, Polo Zip, and Split V-Neck. Necklines are personal — a mandarin collar that feels stylish on one person feels suffocating on another. You shouldn't have to switch brands to find the one that works for you.

24 colors that stay in stock. Not 48 colors that sell out in three days. If you wreck a top in week two, the same Slate Blue should still be available in month eight. We restock continuously instead of doing seasonal drops.

Real four-way stretch. Our spandex content sits at 4% — enough to actually move with you when you're squatting next to a hospital bed. Anything under 3% is just marketing.


What customers are saying

A nurse on TikTok (@katswofford, 335K views) compared us directly to FIGS:

"It reminds me of FIGS but stretchier. Very buttery, soft, lightweight, breathable."

She wasn't sponsored. We didn't know about the video until weeks later.

You can read more reviews on our product pages — we publish all of them, including the critical ones.


Where we're not as good (yet)

We're not going to pretend we're the best at everything.

Brand recognition. FIGS has been around since 2013 and built serious cultural cachet. We launched recently. If walking into the unit in a recognizable brand matters to you, that's a real reason to choose them.

Mobile experience. FIGS has a polished app. Our site works well on phones, but it's not as smooth.

Resale market. There isn't an active secondary market for Eipnare on Poshmark yet. FIGS has one. If reselling matters to you, factor that in.

We're working on all three. We'll get there. But we'd rather tell you what we're not great at than oversell it.


How to start without committing $300

Buy one set first. Try the Classic V-Neck Jogger in whatever color you reach for most.

Wear it for two weeks. Wash it the way you actually wash scrubs. If it doesn't hold up to your standards, send it back — we accept worn returns within 30 days, no questions.

If it does hold up, the next three sets cost you the same $68 each, no surprise pricing.

Total cost for a four-set rotation: $272. That's about $11 a month over an 18-24 month wear life. Cheaper than your coffee.


Quick fit notes

If you're between sizes, size down on tops, true-to-size on bottoms. Our knit fabrics have more give than the woven ones — if you've never worn knit scrubs before, expect them to feel more like activewear.

The Six-Pocket Jogger fits taller frames better than the standard Jogger. Both come in petite and tall.

If you have questions before ordering, email us. A real person answers within a business day.


We make scrubs. We try to make them well, price them honestly, and tell the truth about what we do and don't do. That's the whole pitch.
