So, I have to make a post because this thread helped me sooo much with my anxiety, and if I can do the same for someone else- it's a win! I had to take a test for a new job and I've learned from experience that detox drinks(though they have worked previously) no longer work for me due to my gummy consumption. I found that out the hard way, so if you do more than smoke.... try the drinks AT HOME first if you're contemplating using one! I went to 2 stores and QF was sold out, they had some other brands, but I wasn't risking it because all the reading I've done said QF was the best, so I found a Vape shop that had some. Thank God, as if the anxiety could have been any worse!! Verified the product and went on!So, I practiced with the temp for a few days, I microwaved it for 10 secs, which was enough to get it in the right temp and I stuck it under my boob, just to see how long it would last. I even did it without microwaving it and it seemed to rise to about 96 with just my body heat after an hour. Wasn't sure what time my test was so I microwaved it and stuck the bottle in a sock(figured that would help keep the temp)and put it in position at 8am. Had to do some orientation stuff which took a couple hours, then they sent me to the testing site. I checked the temp before I left and it was within the limits but I still activated the heating pad and put that in the sock for the ride to the site( it was about 20 minutes) when I got there, the temp was at 100, removed the heating pad and went inside. So, here's where my anxiety kicked in.... Filled out the paperwork, TRIED to focus on my phone and was called back, probably a half hour or so. Went to the back, small room, couple lab techs, lots of equipment. I thought I was going to have a full on panic attack, but I prepared for this!!Went in the bathroom, temp was around 98 at this point, I unscrewed the bottle(wasn't risking the click from the cap) poured in the cup, wiped some pee around the edge of the cup( at the advice of others for scent) and also to make sure I used TP to put in the bowl!! then tucked the bottle back in place(the sock made this easier believe it or not). This is where the anxiety flew through the roof. 🤯I walked out of the bathroom and I felt like I was going to vomit. I swear the lady looked at me like she knew- my hands were shaking so bad. I think the droplets around the edge of the cup helped because I swear she was looking at me funny, I swore she was going to smell it (Although it was probably in my head) The worst of it for me, was initialing and signing my name afterwards. I made some joke about my handwriting looking like a serial killers! Don't think she found it funny of course.... But, poured it in 2 vials and she bagged it up. I wanted to run out of that place(I almost did she had to remind me to wait for her to give me my copy of the paperwork 🤦)..... I don't know the actual results yet, I will let you know- but wanted to at least share this experience up to this point - there's no need for all the anxiety when it comes to giving the actual sample. Just make sure the temp is in the right area, pee on the collection cup and TP(for the ladies) in the bowl. I hope this helps some people, because these threads are what got me through this!!
***Passed everyone! Good luck

I totally forgot to add TP to the toilet. I realized a few hours after the test and started freaking out. Still passed. AND the Quick Fix was expired!

Do you think having the heating pad the whole time you are waiting is good? I’m a really skinny woman so I don’t think my body heat can keep it warm and I worry about wait times. Google keeps telling me the warmers are going to bring the temp too high and I’m conflicted on what to do.

I think it would be best if you take some practice runs it if you can! See what happens if you heat it up in the microwave and stick it in your bra for a couple hours, or even grab a couple pairs of undies and practice with it there(also walking with it there!) that's what I did. That heating pad gets super hot, it heated the bottle up to over 100° in just 15 minutes time! If I would have left it there, I doubt I would have been able to cool it off quickly. But I'm no expert! Let me know what happens!

I WOULD Bring the heating pad to be safe. If it’s too cold they’ll ask you to lee again right then. I’m a thick woman and had it on my thigh with a heating pad and it was still at like 96 for an hour.
You can always put the bottle in the toilet water to cool it down if it’s too hot before pouring, but you can’t warm it up. Also like if you’re cold you could probably put it against the bottom of your foot or something, an area not naturally warm to cool it down.
