Ok ladies, no nice way of asking this but for those lovely POAS tests, that require dipping rather than actual weeing on, how do you..errr...collect your wee? Smile

Anyone got any tried and tested techniques?

Jug.

And then save said just for when you get BFP and have to take sample to midwife. Obviously you transfer the piss into a sample bottle rather than carrying the jug itself. In case that was unclear.

Then use the jug to whip up pancake mix.

After a thorough wash in hot soapy water Grin

A wine glass for me. It's a plain one I rarely use. Unlikely to get used for a while after the BFP too!

I should add I'm not just fancy - a wine glass meant I was less likely to pee on my fingers plus some sticks are quite short so the liquid was easier to access IYSWIM

A pancake pee jug?! Delicious Grin

Love the wine glass idea, do you feel decadent? And is it one of those that you can fit a whole bottle of wine in? Wink

Plastic cups. Bought a 100-pack for a pound from my local supermarket, thinking it'll do for a while Grin And it has...
Probably not the most environmentally friendly, I agree, but it's hassle-free, which, for me, is the main criteria when it comes to anything ttc-related.

An old tea light holder. It went out in the recycling after it did its job.

The lid off a hairspray. Don't do what I did and forget to check for holes - I once used the lid off another spray and it went all over the floor...

I saved an empty yogurt pot. Had one living in the bathroom but DH kept throwing it away so I kept having to find another one. Don't think he know what its for. Hoping the next time I piss in a pot it's for a bfp.

I once used a (clean) mug, and nearly drank out of it afterwards

Lid off the Johnsons cotton bud pot. It goes in the drawer with the cheap opks, hpts, disposable breast pads, sanitary towels and soft cups lol.
