Scrubs for nurses in Kottayam and Alappuzha
Kottayam and Alappuzha are home to a great many nurses: staff in hospitals and clinics, students in nursing colleges, and nurses preparing to work abroad. If you are one of them, buying a good set of scrubs should not mean a trip to a city shop and guessing at sizes on a crowded counter.
We do not have a shop in Kottayam or Alappuzha. Instead, we stitch at our unit in Konni and courier your order to you. Here is how that works, and what to think about when choosing.
How ordering works from Kottayam and Alappuzha
- Pick your set on our website, choose colour and size, and tap “Order on WhatsApp”.
- We reply with the total, including the delivery charge for your address, and our UPI details.
- Pay by UPI. Orders are prepaid.
- Your order is dispatched by courier on our next dispatch day, Monday or Thursday.
- Track it on the track page with your order ID.
That is the same process for Changanassery, Pala, Vaikom, Cherthala, Kayamkulam, Haripad or anywhere else in the two districts.
Scrubs for a wet, humid climate
Both districts are low-lying and humid, and Alappuzha’s backwaters mean damp air for much of the year. During the monsoon, clothes take a long time to dry. A few things help:
- Poly-cotton fabric. Our sets are poly-cotton, which dries faster than pure cotton and creases less, useful when you have to wear a set that dried overnight on a line indoors.
- Darker colours such as navy and wine hide water marks and small stains on a wet commute.
- More sets. With slow drying, three or four sets is more comfortable than two.
- Dry in moving air. A fan or a well-ventilated room helps; turn scrubs inside out so seams and pockets dry fully.
Choosing your set
- Women’s V-neck scrub set: shaped at the waist, three pockets on the top, drawstring pant with elastic back. Navy, teal, wine and ceil blue, sizes XS to 3XL.
- Men’s / unisex round-neck set: straighter and roomier, navy and grey, sizes S to 3XL. Women can wear it too, sized by chest.
- OT green set: for theatre postings, unisex, XS to 3XL.
- Tie-back scrub cap: free size, in matching colours.
If your hospital or college sets a uniform colour, follow it. Otherwise navy and ceil blue are safe, classic choices for ward work.
For nursing students
Students in Kottayam and Alappuzha often need scrubs before clinical postings and a lab coat for practicals. Check what your college specifies; colleges set their own uniform. If your whole class needs the same set, ask your college about an institution ordering page, where each student orders their own size and the batch arrives together at the college.
Nurses heading abroad
Many nurses from these districts move abroad. If you are preparing to go, a few good sets are useful for training, exams and your first weeks before your new employer issues a uniform. Pick versatile colours like navy, and check the size carefully since you may not be able to exchange later.
Get your size right
Courier orders are exchanged only for manufacturing defects, reported within 7 days with a photo. So measure chest, waist and hip, compare with the size chart, and choose the larger size if you are between two. You can also send measurements on WhatsApp for a suggestion.
Wrapping up
From Kottayam or Alappuzha, ordering is simple: choose on the website, confirm on WhatsApp, pay by UPI and receive by courier. Pick a fabric and number of sets that suit the damp climate. Start with the women’s V-neck scrub set or browse the full scrubs range.
