Believe it or not, I have never dipped a pee stick before. I always just actually pee on it. But I recently bought a bunch of Wondfo tests and will need to dip them when the time comes.
My question: What sort of container do you use? Do you buy something brand new, to be used specifically for dipping a test? Or do you find a suitable container around the house, wash it, and use that?
TIA for your help!

Very creative and discreet !

That's actually a really good idea. Hmm...I may need to find/buy one for this. Sounded weird at first, but it's sort of brilliant.
ME TOO LOL!!!!!
You must be a pee ninja. Seriously. How is that even possible without getting pee all over your hand?
Or am I just peeing challenged? It's all I can do to keep it in the dixie cup.

Thanks ladies! You guys have some really good suggestions. I definitely can do the Dixie cup; I actually have some of those now. Don't know why I didn't think of that.
I also like the old measuring cup idea.
. .
I use an espresso cup that has never been used for anything, ever, other than me peeing in it. Add me to team klassy.
A measuring cup is genius!
I currently use a solo cup but this is a much better idea.
This for me, except I don't even dry it, just rinse it well under hot water and let it dry under the sink.

All ALers welcome!
I keep thinking about the pee being everywhere! I pee in a plastic Tupperware dish and I still get it all over me! I do love this Dixie cup thing. I will be grabbing some from Walmart for sure.
Thisis exactly what I use. I wash it and store it in our bathroom so it doesn't get accidentally used in the kitchen. Lol
The first month I used DH's only shot glass in the house. He didn't like that too much and still grimaces when he uses it to make a drink.
I saw some small disposable containers at my mom's house the last time we visited and took a few of them to use. DH is happy about that.
I also use a designated shot glass.
I agree... Seriously a genius idea. Having a handle would be great bc while I'm getting better with the Dixie cups, I over peeing on my hand.

I use the top off a can of shaving cream--works for me. Add me to team Klassy.
ETA: Once the top was used for pee, it went nowhere near the sharing cream and I do wash the cap after each use.
Me too!
