I received my kit this week but haven't yet started to collect my samples.
As it's awkward, pooing onto your hand, would it still be a true sample if you were to take a smear from the toilet paper instead?
The kit we receive in France includes sheets of paper which go across the toilet bowl and are held in place when the seat is lowered. They sag a bit to give room for the turds. Still not perfect, but I would think that there is not a problem in collecting samples from toilet paper.
