    What do you use to collect urine? Opk

    So I bought some IC OPKs and the instructions said to collect urine in a sterile container and then to dip the test stick in that. So.... what do you guys use? Do you buy a urine cup from the chemist? A disposable plastic cup? Old takeaway containers ? How do you sterilise them? Do enlighten me!

    I'd just grab a cup, glass or old jar from the kitchen. I never bothered to sterilise, just make sure they were clean.

    A disposable plastic cup sounds good, if you have any.

    I have used MSU jar from hospital or a disposable plastic cup.

    Thanks guys! I found a small plastic cup that I now officially made the "pee cup".

    Thanks for the tips!

    I use one of the sample containers that pathology places give you for a urine test. We had an extra one so it became my pee cup. I just wash it with anti-bacterial soap and hot water between each use.
