Step by step: home artificial insemination
Some people can't use an internal disc and that's completely valid. Whether you have vaginismus, pelvic pain, sensory sensitivities, or simply prefer a more straightforward approach to at-home insemination, the No Disc Kit was built for you.
It's a complete self insemination kit for 9 full rounds, containing every core piece of artificial insemination equipment you need: insemination syringes, sterile specimen cups, ovulation strips, and pregnancy tests.
One of our customers with vaginismus used this kit and got a positive result on her first try. That's exactly the kind of journey this kit is designed to support.
What is an insemination disc, and do you need one?
A Softdisc (or conception disc) is a flexible device inserted internally after insemination to help hold sperm close to the cervix and reduce leakage. It's included as standard in our Dinky, Mezzo, and Stellar kits.
However, discs are not medically required for successful home insemination. Many people conceive without using one. Simply lying with hips elevated for 15–30 minutes after insemination achieves a similar effect. A disc is a helpful addition, not a necessity.
The No Disc Kit is built on that principle, a complete, effective at-home insemination kit that doesn't require any internal device beyond the insemination syringe itself.
How to support sperm retention without a disc
After insemination with the syringe, try these simple techniques to maximise your chances:
- Lie on your back with a cushion under your hips for 15–30 minutes
- Avoid standing or using the bathroom immediately after
- Relaxing and staying still is often enough as sperm are strong swimmers
Many people who conceive through at-home insemination never use a disc at all. The No Disc Kit gives you everything else that matters.
Is this a home IUI kit?
The No Disc Kit performs intracervical insemination (ICI) which is the at-home equivalent of what many search for as a "home IUI kit." True IUI requires a clinic and medical professional. ICI places sperm at the cervix using a round-tipped insemination syringe, and is safe to perform yourself at home.
- Designed for simplicity and ease
- Ideal for those who don’t need or want a Softdisc
- Pairs well with our Origin disc if you choose to add support later
About this insemination kit
Do I actually need a disc to conceive at home?
No. A disc can help hold the sample close to the cervix, but it isn't medically required, and many people conceive without ever using one. Lying down with your hips slightly raised for 15 to 30 minutes after insemination does much the same job. This kit is built around that.
Is this a home IUI kit?
Not exactly. This kit performs ICI, intracervical insemination, which places the sample at the cervix and is safe to do yourself at home. It's what many people are picturing when they search for a "home IUI kit." True IUI passes through the cervix and has to be done by a clinician.
Who is the No Disc Kit best for?
Anyone who can't or would rather not use an internal disc. That includes people with vaginismus, vulvodynia or pelvic floor pain, anyone who's found a disc hard to insert or wear, and people who simply prefer the most straightforward approach.
How many rounds does it cover?
Nine full rounds. It includes 9 round-tip syringes, 9 sterile collection cups, 50 LH ovulation strips and 10 hCG pregnancy tests, enough to track, inseminate and test across multiple cycles without running short.
Can I use it with a donor?
Yes, it works equally well with a known donor or with clinic donor sperm. The sterile cups allow for clean collection before insemination. If you're working through the donor side of things, our NZ donor agreements and legalities guide covers what to know.
What if I want a disc later?
You can add one anytime. Our Origin reusable conception disc pairs with this kit if you decide you'd like that extra support down the track, and the Stellar kit is the same 9-round setup with a disc included from the start.
