Tips for Collecting a Urine Specimen Without a Mess

This topic is all about finding ways to collect a urine specimen without making a mess. Here are some helpful tips and insights shared by others:

1. For women, there are special urinals designed to reduce spills. These are different from those made for men and can be found online, at local pharmacies like CVS or Rite Aid, or you can ask your urologist or primary-care physician for one.

2. If you have a urostomy, it's a good idea to talk to your urologist or stoma nurse. They can provide you with collection devices or instructions that are specifically suited to your needs.

3. A general tip to keep in mind is "aim small, miss small." This means using the smallest target possible to help improve your accuracy and reduce the chance of spills.
