The Moments

The best underwear for nurses on long shifts

Whatever your body is going through. We've got you.

The best underwear for a long nursing shift is breathable, chafe-free, and stays put under scrubs without digging or rolling. Skanties are thin, activewear-like underwear with a breathable cotton panel and a wide waistband that stays comfortable across a twelve-hour shift.

What is second-skin comfort?

I'm a nurse and wear them under scrubs. They provide support and comfort all shift. Super comfortable and great quality.

Why Skanties suit this moment.

  • Stays put under scrubs

    Thin and smooth, so there is nothing to see and nothing to adjust.

  • Breathable through long shifts

    A genuinely sized cotton panel with a light silky outer.

  • No chafe, no roll

    The longer leg covers where it rubs and stays where you put it.

  • No waistband dig

    A wide soft band sits without pressure, so nothing bites or rolls down.

Good to know

Thin and cool by design, so they wear well as an everyday layer under scrubs. Two pairs in rotation keeps a fresh one ready for back-to-back shifts.
