Cup supports and methods of using same

A cup support having an upper side and a lower side and comprising:

• a. a head portion comprising:
• i. a head base wall extending within a plane and having an outer perimeter;
• and
• ii. an inner upstanding wall extending from the head base wall towards the upper side of the cup support at an angle to the plane of the head base wall so as to extend non-coplanar and non-parallel with the head base wall, wherein the inner upstanding wall defines an aperture comprising an aperture opening configured to receive, in a direction from the upper side to the lower side of the cup support, a specimen cup for collection of a stream of liquid;
• b. a handle portion extending from the head portion and comprising a handle base wall extending within a plane and having an outer perimeter;
• and
• c. an outer upstanding wall, a portion of which extending from the head base wall towards the upper side of the cup support and at an angle to the plane of the head base wall so as to extend non-coplanar and non-parallel with the head base wall, wherein the outer upstanding wall extends around at least a portion of the outer perimeter of the head base wall,
• wherein the outer upstanding wall and the inner upstanding wall are laterally separated by the head base wall such that the head base wall, the inner upstanding wall, and the outer upstanding wall collectively define a trough adapted to contain a portion of the stream of liquid that impinges on the head portion.
