For an uncircumcised male providing a clean-catch urine sample, it's important to retract the foreskin (not just slightly, but fully to expose the meatus), clean the meatus in a circular motion to ensure thorough cleaning, use each towelette only once to avoid contamination, and void a small amount into the toilet before collecting the sample to flush away contaminants from the urethra. Pulling the foreskin over the meatus (B) would reintroduce potential contaminants, so it is not recommended.
