In this Care+Wear healthwear apparel review, we’ll provide you with a thorough analysis of the brand—digging deep into bestsellers, customer reviews, news on promotions, and more—to help you decide if they’re worth checking out. 

Overview of Care+Wear

Care+Wear CEO Chaitenya Razdan noticed that while all hospital attire on the market served a purpose, it wasn’t flattering in any way. Many people in the world have to wear PICC line covers and hospital gowns constantly (if not every day), so why not make them feel good about what they’re wearing? 

Care+Wear came to life in 2014, built on a foundation of safety, style, dignity, and comfort. Their mission is to “help provide constructive healing solutions for everyone regardless of what they may be going through.” The healthware company models their prototypes after listening to patients, consulting with clinicians, and connecting with designers. 

Care+Wear wants to make sure their products actually work, along with being fashion-forward, empowering the patient and helping them live their life no matter what they are undergoing medically.

Now that you know a little more about the brand’s background, this Care+Wear healthwear apparel review will move on to its pros and cons. 

Highlights

• Care+Wear offers attractive healthwear that serves a range of medical functions (such as regular check-ups and insertions of tubes). 
• The brand has partnered with sports teams and designers to bring expressive attire to patients 
• 10% of profits for each product are directed to specific non-profit organizations or foundation partners (ex. Stand Up 2 Cancer) 
• The prices match the quality 
• Kids sizes are also available  
• 14-Day Limited Warranty covers any damage of the product
• The brand ships to most countries internationally, while offering free domestic delivery

Care+Wear’s attire brings comfort, as well as a sense of normalcy to patients. Their Dual Port-Access-shirts are both attractive and practical for hospital visits. The brand also makes accessories such as PICC line covers that come in vibrant colors, or that pay homage to various sports teams. Keep reading this Care+Wear healthwear apparel review to find out more. 

Care+Wear PICC Line Covers Review

PICC (Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter) Line Covers provide protection for insertion sites on a patient’s body. This Care+Wear healthwear apparel review will feature the brand’s best-selling covers, including waterproof, super soft, and branded versions. 

Care+Wear PICC Line Shower Cover Review 

Care+Wear’s PICC Line Shower Cover steps in to provide water resistance necessary to prevent infections and shield IV tubes. Made from flexible silicone and see-through, this PICC Line Shower Cover will keep you dry in the shower.

Although it is a reliable sleeve, Care+Wear does not recommend submerging your line cover for long periods of time, as it is not completely watertight. For those candlelit baths, some customers have suggested wrapping a layer of seran wrap on top of their PICC Line Shower Cover. The handy invention, which covers 10–17” biceps, can also be used to protect wounds and bandages.

Care+Wear’s PICC Line Shower Cover is currently sold out. Don’t worry, you can sign up for their email newsletter to be notified when it’s back on sale for $41.10 (down from its original price of $55). 

Care+Wear Classic Ultra Soft PICC Line Cover Review 

PICC lines twist and turn with the slightest move, and the last thing you want is to keep worrying about disturbance at all waking hours! The Classic Ultra Soft PICC Line Cover keeps things in place, providing a sense of safety when going about your day. 

If you’re used to sneaking peeks out of habit, the mesh window is an added convenience. 

Resembling a supportive sports band, this snug cover doesn’t draw unwanted attention. It comes in nine colors—including bright popping pink to classic black. Comfortable cotton and spandex antimicrobial fabric keeps bacteria away for 50 washes. 

Place an order for the hypoallergenic Classic Ultra Soft PICC Line Cover for $30. 

Care+Wear MLB Branded PICC Line Cover Review 

Rep your favorite baseball team while forgetting all about those tubes. The MLB Branded PICC Line Cover lets you show the world who you support, whether it’s the Detroit Tigers or the LA Dodgers! Featuring a see-through mesh window, this line cover lets air pass through to your dressing, keeping it cool and comfortable. 

Made from a blend of cotton and spandex with a polyester mesh, the MLB Branded PICC Line Cover is easy to wash, while antimicrobial fabric swings the germs away. Choose from 16 different National League teams, turn on the game, and cheer for your favorite players. Careful with that arm, of course. 

The MLB Branded PICC Line comes in seven different bicep sizes (from 7–9” to 17–19”), and is offered for $35. As a bonus, 10% of the profits go towards Stand Up 2 Cancer, in part of Care+Wear’s “give-back” program.

Care+Wear Women’s Dual Chest Port Access Shirt Review 

The Women’s Dual Chest Port Access Shirt looks like a cute pullover found in any department store—but it’s so much more than just that. Allowing access to the chest and port area, this top is ideal for chemotherapy or dialysis patients (specifically, those with a central line, a tunneled venous catheter, or implanted ports). 

These Care+Wear chemo port shirts are made from antimicrobial-treated cotton fabric to help banish unwelcome bacteria in sensitive areas. Soft and figure-friendly, this trendy top comes in seven colors, including coral, teal, blue, pink, or a classic black. Who says you have to sacrifice fashion in recovery? 

Ladies, if you fall in the range of XS-XXL, the Women’s Dual Chest Port Access Shirt is offered for $45.

Care+Wear Patient Gown by Parsons School of Design Review 

While hospital robes are functional, they are anything but friendly. The Patient Gown by Parsons School of Design was thoughtfully created to help you feel more relaxed in the  doctor’s office. It comes in a soothing blue monochrome, and minus the outdated prints that hospital-frequenters have come to dread. 

Plus, this full-coverage gown is reversible (for when your back needs to be exposed). This dignified take on the patient gown gives caregivers and other medical professionals proper access without having to undress you completely. 

It’s designed like a fitted robe, with color coded ties that make dressing easier. Made from a sturdy cotton and polyester blend, the Patient Gown by Parsons School of Design even has pockets. Functional features include four side snaps for IVs, and a front slit that makes telemetry and stethoscope access possible.

It’s available in sizes Small, Medium, and Large, and is on sale right now for $15 (normally $45). 

Care+Wear Antimicrobial Reusable Adult Face Mask (5-Pack) Review

We all need a reliable face covering these days, and the current recommendation for layers of fashion masks is 3-ply. The Antimicrobial Reusable Adult Face Mask (5-Pack) is 6-ply. That means you have six layers of antimicrobial protection, guarding against the viruses floating around. 

The Care+Wear antimicrobial face mask has a bendable nose wire and curved design that makes it a little easier for people with glasses (no more foggy windshields). The adjustable ear loops can be tightened or loosened with the slider. The best part is that these 5-packs come in 17 different shades and patterns, from essentials and classics, to pastels and waves. 

Despite having so many layers, these Care+Wear masks  are still suitable to wear all day. Brighten up your day with the Antimicrobial Reusable Adult Face Mask (5-Pack) for $25. 

Care+Wear Post Surgical Recovery Bra Review

There are many reasons why we may need chest surgery, but post-op can now be slightly more pleasant with the Post Surgical Recovery Bra. It was designed with the help of top plastic surgeons who know exactly what tender breasts need to recover the right way. 

This bra provides access points for JP drains, while featuring adjustable Velcro straps for ample support. This breathable recovery bra even contains lining packs to hold ice, when aches and pains are keeping you up at night. Not to mention, it is quite stylish! 

Made from a mix of nylon and spandex, this wire-free Post Surgical Recovery Bra is simple to throw on or take off during the healing process. It comes in sizes XS-XL in Black or Nude for $65. 

Care+Wear Men’s Everyday Essential Hoodie by Oscar de la Renta Review 

This men’s hoodie was designed by the team at Oscar de la Renta in honor of the late designer. Featuring low-key zippers on the right and left sides, this hoodie provides access to the chest and port area. 

It’s made from a soft jersey, antimicrobial wicking material that will keep you toasty when you need it, but sweat-free under the sun. This multipurpose shirt is both suited for a light jog or for regular check-ups. Featured thumb holes are more than just a chic feature, they also help keep sleeves in place during treatments. This can even be worn after treatment as well.

It comes in a midnight blue color that compliments most skin tones, in sizes S-XL. But, if pink is more up your alley, grab the women’s port shirt in a size up (the fit is unisex, anyways). 

The Men’s Everyday Essential Hoodie by Oscar de la Renta rings in at $95. 

Care+Wear Women’s Scrubs Review 

Among all of the ways that this brand tries to make a patient’s life easier are the products made for female medical staff, nurses, and doctors. Next in this Care+Wear healthware apparel review we will take you through some of the brand’s best-selling women’s scrubs.

Care+Wear Reviews: What Do Customers Think?

To give you a better picture of the brand, this Care+Wear healthware apparel review combed the web for customer discussions. Ahead, you’ll find insightful feedback sourced from the brand’s website, Amazon, and Live Better With. All of these come together to highlight some of Care+Wear’s defining features. 

The brand’s website (careandwear.com) proved to be the most diverse source of reviews, covering a wide spectrum of their products. All of which are rated highly:

• Classic Ultra Soft PICC Line Cover: 4.8/5 star rating from 47 buyers
• PICC Line Shower Cover: 4.7/5 stars as rated by 25 customers
• The Post Surgical Recovery Bra: 4.6/5 star rating from 8 shoppers
• The Patient Gown by Parsons School of Design: 4.8/5 star rating, given by 5 buyers
• Women’s Dual Access Chest Port: 4.9/5 stars awarded by 47 customers

The Women’s Dual Access Chest Port is celebrated by customers for being attractive and functional. Customers buzz over this top, reporting that “nurses love it.” One buyer who purchased this top as a gift wrote, “Mother was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. She absolutely loved this gift… She wears it to chemo every time.” 

The only warning regarding the fit of this top reads, “The shirt ended up being still a bit short on me even though I ordered an up size.” All in all, customers seem to really love this top, but if you’re tall, maybe consider a size up. 

The PICC Line Cover is rated 3.6/5 stars by 404 customers on Amazon. One of the great things about this line cover that some buyers point out is the mesh block that allows air to get to their insertion site while being able to peek at it every now and then to check for “leakage or infection.” It’s also finished with an antimicrobial treatment that makes wearers feel more secure. 

Speaking of feeling secure, one buyer wrote, “The slight compression provided enough support for my PICC line to stop hurting every time I moved my arm so that the site could continue healing.” 

Some customers who bought the PICC Line Cover on Amazon write that it stretches out, while others say “The material isn’t as “soft & stretchy“ as it is advertised.” One reviewer even says that it is so tight on her “very thin arm,” that it “was cutting off” her circulation. Others back up this opinion. This line cover is certainly functional and helpful, but if you’re worried about sizing, buy a size up, or refer to the size charts below in this Care+Wear hospital gowns review.

A Care+Wear healthwear apparel review on Live Better With writes of the importance of a hospital gown like this to those “who are already feeling vulnerable or uncomfortable.” The review notes that this garment gives doctors and nurses the ability to “have quick access to areas of your body for tests, procedures, and checkups” without having to whip “off your top or trousers at a moment’s notice,” instead, allowing wearers to stay partially dressed. 

There are no negatives to the Care+Wear healthwear apparel review on Live Better With, so we looked at a few minor complaints on the brand’s website. One mentioned that the gowns did not have sizing marked within them, which might be for at-home use, but can get confusing in a medical office. The other review noted that the fabric “could be softer.” 

From these customer reviews, this Care+Wear hospital healthwear apparel review concludes that customers are thankful for the brand’s functional products. The largest issue appears to be the fit, so use the sizing guide provided on the website when choosing the right shirt or robe for you. 

Is Care+Wear Worth It?

Care+Wear comes across as a compassionate company that cares about its customers. They know being sick or going through a medical procedure is isolating. They merge fashion with function, creating pieces that are easy to put on and expressive at the same time. 

Customers report that their customer service team is wonderful, returns are easy, and the products they offer just make sense for those with medical conditions. Care+Wear products are priced reasonably and they have a 14-Day Limited Warranty on all of their products. 

To this Care+Wear hospital healthwear apparel review, they seem to be a transparent brand, divulging where, and of what, their products are made. There were no red flags that popped up, and for that reason, as well as the many others outlined above, we believe their healthwear is certainly worth the buy.
