Shopping Online for Men’s Scrubs Uniforms

Steps in Shopping Online for Men’s Scrubs Uniforms

Most men do not like to shop around for clothing items. With a few exceptions, men would go to their regular clothing store and choose the style and brand that they are used to wearing. Most of the time, men would prefer not to leave the house and do their clothes shopping online. However, when it comes to uniforms, men should be more careful in choosing the right men’s Cherokee scrubs since they will most likely wear these for eight to twelve hours per shift. 

So if you’re planning to buy scrubs uniform for men from online stores, here are the steps that you should follow.

Take Your Body Measurements. When purchasing any type of clothing in online stores, you first need to know your body measurements. You can do this by taking a tape measure and measuring the fullest part of your chest, your shoulder line, natural waistline, hips, and inseam. You may need assistance in helping you take your body measurements, especially for the shoulder line and inseams. You should write down your measurements so that you can easily refer to them whenever you shop for clothing.

Choose Your Preferred Size. Once you have your measurements with you, you can now shop online for your scrubs uniform. Different online stores may have various size charts, so it is essential to compare their tables with your body measurements and choose the size based on your measurements. If you prefer a snugger fit, choose a size that perfectly fits your measures.

On the other hand, if you want to have a roomier fit, you can choose a size that is a couple of centimeters larger than your actual size. Remember, though that you will be wearing your scrubs most of the time, so you should focus more on the comfort that you will get in choosing the right size for you.

Choose the Fabric Blend. Men hate to iron clothes. Fortunately, there are men’s Cherokee scrubs that have great fabric blend combinations that would not require any more ironing. There are four main types of fabrics used for scrubs uniforms, namely: cotton, polyester, spandex, and rayon. Among the four, cotton is the only naturally occurring fabric, while the rest are synthetic. A purely cotton-made scrubs will quickly shrink after each wash while a purely synthetic scrubs will not feel well on the skin.

The best iron-free fabric blends would be more on the 65/35 mix of synthetic (polyester and spandex), and cotton blend because these scrubs will be wrinkle-free and are more durable. When you choose men’s scrubs that have a great fabric blend, you can easily maintain your scrubs.

Choose the Right Cut. Men, like women, have different body types. You should choose a scrubs uniform that will suit your body type to make you appear more aesthetically pleasing to the eyes. Choose a scrubs cut that will make you look slimmer and more energetic. Avoid choosing a universal or unisex scrubs uniform. Men’s scrubs should have different angles and lines to conform to the broader shoulders of men as compared to women.

Choose the Right Neckline. The neckline of your scrubs is also an important consideration that you should take. If you are on the heavy side, choose scrubs with a V-neckline so that your body will appear longer and leaner. Nobody wants to see man-cleavage, so refrain from getting V-necks that go below the armpit lines.   

Even if you’re shopping online for your scrubs uniform, you must remember to take the necessary steps to have the right uniform for you.

Perfect Balance World for fitness routines at home

Now, with gyms and yoga studios closed, more people than ever are doing their fitness routines at home, and what easier exercise to perform in a small space than yoga? Many of us are trying yoga for the first time, and Perfect Balance World yoga clothing is here to help get us in that perfect pose.

 

Perfect Balance World is different from other brands because it’s pieces have friction landmarks in the fabric. These “landmarks” help the yogi get a proper grip on the floor and their own body. This enhanced grip allows yogis to keep their center of gravity resting in the ideal, balanced position, and to do it with less strain and struggle to achieve better, longer poses as a result from the added control  from Perfect Balance World.

Perfect Balance World’s yoga Tops and Leggings also:

  • 1)   Create “Muscle Memory” by showing the yogi the Perfect placement of hands, arms and legs
  • 2)    The Leggings are soft, silky, stretchable and made from non-slip material
  • 3)    The pieces have the Patented friction “Landmark” design for use with every yoga pose

To keep yogis going in their workout routine (or to introduce new yogis to yoga), Perfect Balance World is offering a 30 minute workout, available to download with any purchase. They also offer “how-to” videos on their site (see video below).

3 Reasons Seniors Should Consider Supplemental Dental Coverage

Original Medicare does not cover most dental care, dental procedures, dental devices or cleanings, fillings, tooth extractions and other related services.

If this news has you thinking that you may as well skip supplemental dental coverage, you might want to reconsider. Whether your teeth are vivid white and you’ve only ever had a couple of cavities, or you are currently dealing with some oral health issues, there are a number of valid reasons to invest in dental coverage.

Oral Health Can Decline with Age

Oral health problems in older adults are pretty common, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For instance, about 68 percent of seniors aged 65 and up have gum disease, and nearly one in five adults 65 or older has lost all of his or her teeth. Prescription and over the counter medications can also lead to dry mouth, which in turn can increase the chances of getting cavities. Even if your teeth and gums are in terrific shape right now, it’s wise to keep these statistics in mind and have some type of dental insurance in place that will enable you to continue to see a dentist and get the care you need.

Dental Care is Expensive

The cost of dental care can depend on what area of the country you live in and what tooth needs treating. Granted, you might find room in your retirement budget for a couple of routine cleanings every year. But do you have an extra $1,000 burning a hole in your pocket? If the answer is “no,” please know that this can be the average cost for a root canal in some areas. If you need a root canal in a molar, it will probably be more in the range of $1,300. If your dentist decides you need a crown after the root canal procedure, you can expect to shell out anywhere from $300 to $3,000 more. By investing in supplemental dental coverage, you can rest assured that these procedures will be paid for by your policy instead of your nest egg.

Budget-Friendly Options Exist

Even though Original Medicare does not cover dental insurance on its own, dental care is still available for those who are eligible for Medicare. For instance, Anthem offers Medicare dental insurance plans with oral care coverage built right in. The Medicare-approved insurance company also has dental insurance packages that can be added in separately to your existing Medicare plan. This way, you can plan for your regular care like routine cleanings and X-rays as well as any unexpected issues that may pop up with your teeth and gums. For more information, Anthem’s website has in-depth details about its various dental coverage plans.

Your Oral Health is Important

The health of your teeth and gums is too important to ignore, and taking care of those pearly whites can also be very expensive without insurance. Fortunately, there is really no reason to skip supplemental dental coverage and put the health of your mouth and budget at risk. Staying proactive about dental care may prevent other, more serious, issues from coming up later on. With a Medicare dental insurance plan, you can feel a sense of relief that your care will be well covered.
