For starters, I'd have to admit I haven't ordered from anyone but Lydia's. When I placed my first order, it came so fast, the prices were great, and with a little guidance on sizing, everything FIT!! So, why fix something that isn't broke, right?? I've placed 2 orders. So far my favorite is the Pro-Soft scrubs. They are SOOOOO comfortable. And, the kind that I wear has the lower cargo pocket on the side of the leg. That's the best place for me!! I can keep my phone and my chapstick in there and don't have to take it out IF I get the chance to sit down. I can even leave it in there when I head to the gym!! My husband has often made comments regarding my "going to work in my PJ's" and I told him he was just jealous! The bright colorful prints make me the happiest and the "Nemo" scrub top is by FAR the favorite of the kids, especially when I drop my daughter off at daycare (she's 2) they all flock over to me to see NEMO!! My least faovite scrubs so far is the Cherokee "Flex-I-bles" but that's because they are too big (second order I placed). I couldn't return them as I washed them before I wore them. I am trying to find them a new home as I hate to waste things. Once I do, I'll order those in a smaller size. Perhaps 2 sizes smaller if the gym works out for me :-)! Thanks all, Pam

I agree with Pam, the Pro Soft are comfy plus they are so cheap! I also like the cargo pants, have you tried the Koi brand? They are very cute and fit awesome. Did you ever leave your chapstick in the pocket of your cargos and then wash them? I keep mine in there too and it went through the wash...not good. I always seem to mess my laundry up one way or another. Good luck at the gym Pam! Once you get to your smaller size splurge on the Koi cargo pants!

I like the Dickies flare pant. They fit good and look very stylin'. Dickies always has great colors and I think the sizing is really consistent. The chapstick in the laundry is funny because I have done that too! The worst was when I washed my son's khaki pants with Hershey kisses in the pockets. My white labcoat was in the wash with it!! Talk about a mess!

That's funny you mentioned washing the chapstick. I just spent $4.99 on one of those "Burt's Bee's" tinted gloss sticks and well.. I used it ONE TIME and washed it!! UGH!! It's all over EVERYTHING. I'm going to try the KOI brand scrubs next I think. I need a different look. Thanks for the info!
