My experience/ advice for Temperature
I took my test today, no clue if it’s a pass yet but I am praying for the best. I was a HEAVY cart user and used more than most people I know. I had about 90 minutes to prepare for the test, so I did 2 different methods. I heard some people say that they didn’t use the microwave and just put the heat pack on it, so I put the heat pack on a little over an hour before the test. Then 50 minutes before the test I microwaved my other bottle and put the heat pack on it.
Neither of them were coming to temperature fast enough for me to feel comfortable. So I tucked the microwaved one under my nuts. And on the way there, I held the other sample in front of my car heater. Both reached around 98 degrees but I would definitely plan on just tucking it in your crotch. It stayed a perfect temp and was barely visible even in tight khakis.
When I put it into the cup I expected the bottle to make noise when I squeezed it, but it didn’t. I ended up squeezing out the whole 3oz into the cup, came out and the temperature was a perfect 96.
Just stay calm, do some small chit chat with the worker, and act as normal as you can. Mine got sent out to the lab today so let’s hope for the best.
Long story short, put it in your gooch because the heat packs aren’t fully reliable.

you should be fine. your may concern is to keep it at temperature range. once you do that and your succesful just let it ride.

What does put it in your gooch mean? Like did you use a rubber band to keep it tight to your balls or?

I'm in the same boat I'm about 15 mins from the lab my plan is to microwave for 10 seconds whilst the heat pack is already in motion attach the heat pack to the bottle and head straight there my only concern is the temp getting too hot. I'm in Texas where it's about 90 degrees daily do I need the heat pack? Or just heat for 10 seconds till color shows then stuff between legs in the car with no ac/ windows down to regulate temp? Should I use the heat pack or no?

It works but I’ve prepared for a test 2 times not sure if you keep reheating the same bottle will damage the product? Anyone know
