SUBBING in 24hrs: is 94.2F warm enough?

[socofan13]

hey, i was just wondering if 94.2 is acceptable, i would obviously like it a bit warmer, but i need to travel light, as i am getting a physical also. right now, its between my legs under my scrotum (in the location N2 described) held in by 2 pair of tighty whities and long underwear. is there any way i could make it warmer? i would like to avoid using heat pads as they are unreliable (IMO, i live in wisconsin, and use them quite often). also, if 94.2 is NOT warm enough, what should be the minimum to shoot for? any input would be great, thanks!

Are you using a premixed synthetic sample? If so, it can be microwaved for up to 10 sec.
As far as human samples, I dont recommend using a mic because human urine is bio-hazardous and should not be in an area where food and utensils are involved. Instead, hot water can be used to heat the sample.

A vehicle heater is also a good alternative.

The acceptable temp range is 90-100F. Shoot for 96-98F to minimize hassles.

I don't know where your getting your heat pads but you can go in any store and get therma care heat pads or any heat pad for that matter and put it in the first pair of tighty whities as insurance. 94.2 is acceptable but I like to turn in a sample at least 97 degrees. Use a heat pad as insurance.

You can have it on the sample at least 60 minutes before the test and you will know if it's working or not. It can't hurt to have it but it can hurt not to have it. Also I have done the rubbing your finger on your jeans and placing it gently on the strip but use a heat pad and you shouldn't need anything else. Good luck...:thumbsup:

i'll go pick up a heat pad and see how that works! and ill make sure to update with how it goes, thanks guys.

ps. its real urine i'm using

Thats good because too cold is a real problem but if your sample is too warm you can swirl it in the cup and blow on it carefully and quietly of course and each swirl and blow will drop the temp about 1 degree. Your only difference is your using real urine so I wouldn't nuke it unless it was a emergency. Heres some info that never failed me at quest. Good luck and make us proud...:thumbsup:

QF is the bomb and temp is Your only problem. If You read anywhere here You will see success after success. Good luck and just relax. Below is what has worked over and over for Me....

They will not observe unless You give them reason too, but they will be right on top of that bathroom door so do not use the squirt top on QF as it can and will make a sucking noise.

They will check temp big-time so if too warm swirl and blow Gently. Each swirl and blow will drop about 1 degree.

If too cool I have rubbed My finger on My pants and made it hot and held it over the temp strip on the container. Do not push on the strip!!! Just cover it with Your warm finger.

I have never seen a Quest employee put the sample anywhere near there nose to smell it and it would be crazy or possibly against there company policy I would hope.

QF is just enough to reach the legal line they can request. I come out and before they say anything I say this is all I could go, and they always say thats great. I even act embarrassed sometimes.

If You practice with QF and act like a normal person You will find them to be nice People.

They have there job and You have Yours.

Good luck and Please post the good news when You get it.

The bottle temp strip will be enough to monitor temperature and with practice You will see.

No pockets!!!!! Some places make You empty them out.

just microwave the bottle and don't waste the pad now. Put it between Your legs, (I shove it right in the pouch in My fruit of the looms and under the boys). You can watch the temp with no pad for now. You need it the day of the test.

Keep the heat pad away from Your skin. After You empty the bottle it's easier to put it right back in the same place or in your pocket but if You do put it in your underware don't put the heat pad against Your twins because with the empty bottle You will roast Your nuts on the drive home. (If Your male)

If they smell it and don't like it insist they taste it...:rasta:

You will be fine....Practice, Practice and relax, Good Luck...:thumbsup:

good advice thanks, was debating on pouring or squeezing (so it sounds like I'm pissing) but I think I'll go with pouring after reading that.

Great, I'm glad you pulled something out of my post because I reread your post and realized your situation was a little different but it was too late to edit. Good luck and update us when you get the good news...:thumbsup:

I don't like the squeeze tip that comes with sample. It makes too much noise. I just use the regular cap and pour it out.
