First off....I don't work for the company or own any stock. I still haven't taken my test but I've practiced about 10 times already. I just want to pass and after searching I see a lot of questions about how to use it. So...

1) Make sure it works. Load it up with some water, pop in a set of batteries, close it up and strap it on or leave it somewhere. Check the temperature periodically to be sure it is maintaining +/- 98 degrees. Note how long it maintains the temp so you have an idea of how long it will work on test day.

2) Always start with HOT water. It sucks the batteries down if you start with anything less than 98 degree water and you will need to change them prior to heading out for your test. I wait until I can see steam coming from the tap and then I load it up.

3) Make sure you have enough fluid. If it is strapped to your leg with the hose pointing up (towards your belly button), I've noticed that you really need to have over two ounces of fluid in the bag to get a full 2 ounces out. I usually use 2.5 ounces of water to be sure I can give a full cup and have a little extra to let flow into the toilet for a nice authentic sounding drop. Squeeze your thighs together to get as much liquid out as possible.

3) Ace Bandage! I find the best place to put it is right between your legs, very close to your crotch. A good ace bandage will hold it in place and help maintain the temperature longer. Be sure to fold the end of the bandage under a preceding fold so it doesn't come undone. I'm a small guy..5'7", 148lbs. If placed properly, you don't need baggy pants. Practice moving a little forward (toward front of your thigh) or a little backward (toward the back of your thigh) until you find the right position. If placed properly, a good pair of boxer-briefs or boxer shorts will cover everything up. Try different pants (I suggest being well dressed the day of your test) and see what works.

4) Don't over tighten the cap. I've read a lot of horror stories about people having to bite off the cap because they couldn't get it off. The key is to put it on but not too tight. Just screw it on with a minimum amount of force...it won't come off.

5) Pinch the tube. When at the test facility, pinch the tube behind the screw valve, remove valve and then let it rip! I usually put the cap in my mouth or pocket so I don't have to worry about dropping it. Whatever is in it comes flying out..sounds just like your peeing! If you don't pinch the tube, be sure to have the tip in the cup before you remove the cap. That can be tricky.

6) Practice, Practice, Practice. Wear it around, go to the store with it strapped on. Get used to the uncomfortable feeling. Make sure you can walk regularly. You really just need to pretend like there is nothing there and go about your business. Invest in batteries and make sure you know how long it will hold temp. Practice peeing with it. Practice talking the lid off...PRACTICE!

...hope this helps. It's an expensive piece of equipment but it works very well if you know how to use it. Good luck!
