Do you pee into a Dixie cup and dip your strips? Or are you more environmentally conscious...did you use a reusable cup?

I bought little plastic containers back when I was making LO's food.. haha. I just took one and made it my pee cup. Store it under the kitchen sink!

I pee in a cup...they are the plastic 12 oz. ones. I guess I could use a reusable one. : /

I was totally not environmentally-friendly and peed in dixie cups. I know some bees that peed in the packages they come in....

I used a plastic cup, and then rinsed it out and kept it under the sink to reuse for the month. Then threw it away at the end, of course.

@FutureMrsMcK: Into the little pouch?? Wow! I'm impressed that people can aim their pee so well without peeing all over themselves! I don't think I'm that talented:(
I've used disposable cups (from little Dixie cups to big red solo party cups, lol) and reusable plastic containers. I'll pee in pretty much anything at this point=P

@mrs. bird: Yep, I remember some girls talking about it over on WB...they'd do it in the bathrooms at work, and didn't want to carry in a cup. I was duly impressed, as I have a hard enough time peeing in a cup!

I used to use a little reusable cup. I think it was a salad dressing cup from the grocery store salad bar. I also think I may have stolen it. Shhh, don't tell!

A dixie cup. This is probably going to sound gross but I was out of town and staying at a hotel so I grabbed a Tupperware container. I labeled it 'pee cup' so it would never be used for food again.

@sweetchic: I tried for those tiny Wondfo strips but always peed above the line!

@sweetchic: the instructions say to pee in a cup first. I imagine it's because there is a plastic covering on the front and back of the strip. The urine has to absorb into the cotton part that's inbetween, which would be harder by just peeing on it. But, if it works for you, then no reason not to keep doing it.
I pee in a dixie cup. I couldn't handle having a reusable one in case it ended up being used for food, like on the Big Bang Theory.

I just peed on the strip and it works every time

Reusable and kept under the sink--I used one of those half bottle sized spice bottles. It's still under the sink even though LO is already born--it got pushed to the back and it never occurred to me until now that it is still there!

I swiped an actual urine cup from work and used that. However, when our dog was having UTI problems as a puppy we used the little disposable plastic storage containers that I would get 4 for $1.

@Alivoo01: I use the same thing because I still have a stockpile of them from when I bought a box at Costco to make Jello Shots I rinse it when I'm done and keep it in the cabinet above the toilet.

I use the FRER and the Digitals, but i still find it MUCH tidier to use-rinse and reuse the little sample cups from my OB/GYN.

We received a promotional mug that I knew we wouldn't use so I have used that-- the handle is quite helpful! I keep it under my sink too.

@FutureMrsMcK: @mrs. bird: That’s what I did!!! Peed into the little package! After a little practice it wasn’t as hard as it seems. The packages are so small that you’d think it was impossible. I got really good at it lol.

@autumnlove: I purchased a reusable pee cup haha it was from the internet test strips site. I hate it though. I will probably just buy dixie cups next cycle.
