Your plate idea sounds like a good one!
Actually, they teach in school that you are to instruct the patient to do it on a piece of clean newspaper, then dump it in the container. Make sure you don't accidentally urinate on it! Urine contamination will result in sample rejection - and then you have to do it again.
If you are having liquid stools, you should be able to get it into the jars. If the openings are small, use a clean small bucket or bowl, then transfer to the container.
I know it sounds gross but fishing it out of the toilet is unacceptable! It's hard to go into the little cup, too. Good luck!
Remember to refrigerate (or put in a cooler on ice if it grosses you out to keep it in the fridge) if you will be longer than 2 hours until you can take it to the dr. office or lab.
hahahhahhahaa
They didn't give you a Hat? Usually if they want a stool test they will give you a U shaped hat and gloves and after you finish you put on the gloves and grab it out and put it in the bottles
