You may be able to find them at a medical supply store. They are used in
hospitals and nursing homes to check for in/out checks of fluids. The cups
slip onto the toilet, you sit and let nature happen. I don't know if they
are sterile enough for urine collection for UTI's. I would take one in,
shake it at the docs office and let them know it would also be helpful for
elderly patients. UTI's suck, I'm sorry you've been getting them.
