Did anyone try holding in stream rather than dipping in cup? I am just trying to avoid the extra hassle of the cup if possible.

I did and it didn't seem to matterMuch one way or another. If I got a positive sometimes I would redo with the cup but for the most part stream seemed to work just fine. Good luck!

Yes and it works fine, slight splatter issue but as long as your careful you'll be fine

The area to pee on is super small. And the rest of the area isn't protected by plastic so you really have to dip them. I keep a small, small jar in my purse for when I'm at work and a larger jar at home. They work fantastic. And because they are so cheap you don't worry about how much you test. Also, don't test first thing. Test between 10am and 2 pm.

I tried once and had a splatter issue. Then had a dye run on the test line so I've dipped since then.

Just received mine today, after reading the reviews I was expecting a leaker. The blue fill cup will seat into place with pressure. I turned it upside down with the blue rim on my counter, pressed and jiggled. I heard it snap into place. No leaks between the blue and base. I did notice, however, if you put more water in the fill cup ( ie, fill it up twice) That is more water than the base will hold and it wants to seep a little at the other joint. This shouldn't be a problem now that I know. I won't put so much water in the top.

I have the same issue. I use one cup more than the other 3 and after one month of usage the metal handle popped off. I tried to put it back but it would not stay on. I'm trying to contact the seller but I don't know how to?

Ive never seen one but I really haven't searched for one. I do occasionally reuse a used cup...demo of how to do this is on YouTube

Yes, it still has a "dribble" problem when you pour. I haven't really figured out why, other than some mornings it dribbles and others it doesn't. Might have something to do with how fast I need that first cup. I just keep a paper towel handy. I would still buy another one. I really like the idea behind not having to worry about a warming unit being left on.

I also had the same problem. You could try but you may not get the full effect. I started placing my tea bag in the cup and allowing the hot water brew it that way. I let it steep for one more minute or your desired look and strength..good luck

There is no cup.. You don't need a cup.. you can put it right in the stream. A Dixie cup would work too though.

You need to "prep" the insert by pinching it open a few times. I also needed to make the slit bigger by carefully slicing it with a knife. I still can't tighten down the cap or it won't flow at ALL. I either have to leave the insert out or I keep the cap loosened, which my daughter can open if she is interested. I personally didn't like these sip caps, I know some have had success, but for me... I wouldn't buy again.

You can control the pressure... if it is too tight release it and slowly suck until you see the skin contacts the metal tip of the cup. If the cup does not hold is because the skin surface is irregular (arms and legs) treated with a smaller cup, also if you use the cups directly on the skin they will slip, so I advise first putting on the skin some cream or oil, so the cup is kept in good contact without slipping off. ;)

I advise dipping. It is difficult to get just the absorbent part in the stream. These are very small strips and do not have a large area and protective plastic cover like the more expensive pregnancy tests.

yeah if you shake them up side down they will leak but my kids dont shake there cups upside down so i didnt see that as an issue for me. but any sippy cup will do that. there really is no such thing as a 100 percent free leak cup i wish there was.

Wondering... how quickly do you feel the water should come to a boil? Peeked this morning as was a little surprised to see some coffee had already appeared in the top portion eventhough there was not a full rolling boil going on below. Wondered if I had the stove setting a little too low. Thoughts?

Call Aroma thay will mail it to you. I lost the little clear plastic cup that catches the water & I ordered another one from Aroma for about $700 & got it in the mail in 4 days.

No cup is necessary. It is a test strip intended to be held in the urine stream. It is not intended to be dipped into a cup. According to the directions, it is only to be held in the stream for 1 to 2 seconds, so dipping it in a cup would not give you a correct reading. We use this because we live in a remote area of Montana and my 90-year-old mother lived with us and was somewhat of a hypochondriac thinking we needed to take her to the Dr. for tests far more often than needed. Her Dr. took these tests as quite accurate and if it gave a negative told us not to bring her town. It saved us a lot of false alarms. I hope this helps.

Sorry. I did not keep the unit long enough to answer. I believe you add as much water as cups you want.

We use the default option with no complaints. Perhaps it's the coffee you're using? Or try brewing a larger size cup for a more dilute brew.
