Sit on the toilet with your legs spread apart. Use two fingers to spread open your labia.

Use a second wipe to clean over the opening where urine comes out (urethra), just above the opening of the vagina.
To collect the urine sample:
Keeping your labia spread open, urinate a small amount into the toilet bowl, then stop the flow of urine.
Hold the urine cup a few inches (or a few centimeters) from the urethra and urinate until the cup is about half full.
