The syringe that’s gentle, precise, and totally TTC-friendly.

The InsemiAid is a specialist fertility syringe designed specifically for at-home insemination. InsemiAid is not a generic medical syringe, and not the kind you'd find at a pharmacy. It's 13cm long, holds 10ml, has a smooth rounded tip, and is completely needle-free. Designed by people who've been through the at-home insemination process themselves, it's the syringe at the core of every kit we sell and available as a standalone for those topping up or using their own protocol. Shipped across South Africa in 2–3 business days.

Why the tip shape is more important than you'd think - Standard oral syringes - the kind you'd get at a pharmacy have a hard, pointed tip that makes at-home insemination genuinely uncomfortable. The InsemiAid has a smooth, rounded tip specifically shaped for vaginal use, making insertion easier, less intrusive, and significantly more comfortable. The 13cm length is also intentional: long enough to place the semen close to the cervix where it has the best chance of reaching the egg, but not so long that it causes discomfort or goes further than an ICI syringe should.

Is this the same as an IUI syringe? No and this is worth understanding before you buy. An IUI (intrauterine insemination) syringe is a clinical tool used by medical professionals to pass through the cervix and deposit sperm directly into the uterus. It's longer, much thinner, and not designed for self-use at home. The InsemiAid is an ICI (intracervical insemination) syringe that deposits semen at the opening of the cervix, not through it. This is the correct approach for at-home use and is what Taryn and Kat used to conceive. If a clinic has recommended IUI specifically, that procedure needs to be carried out by a medical professional, it's not something done at home with a standard syringe."

What size syringe should I use for home insemination? 10ml is the right capacity. The average semen sample is between 1.5ml and 5ml; a smaller syringe risks losing part of the sample, and anything over 10ml is unnecessarily large. The 13cm length is similarly deliberate: long enough to comfortably reach the cervix, manageable for self-use. This is why generic pharmacy syringes which are typically shorter oral medication syringes aren't ideal for insemination, even though they're the same volume.

Why you’ll love it:
✓ Rounded tip for comfort and ease
✓ 13cm length for optimal placement
✓ 10ml capacity - just the right size
✓ Individually wrapped + sterile tip cover
✓ Made from medical-grade polyethylene (PE)

Each insemination attempt uses one syringe. If you plan to inseminate on two consecutive days around your LH surge (which we recommend), you'll use two per cycle. The pack of 5 covers approximately 2–3 cycles; the pack of 10 is better value for 4–5 cycles or longer journeys.

How to Use the Hapū Insemination Syringe

Whether it’s your first time trying at-home insemination or you're already familiar with the process, this step-by-step guide will help you feel confident and prepared. Our syringe was designed with comfort and control in mind.

1

Prepare Your Supplies

Before you begin, make sure you have everything you need in a clean, quiet space:

  1. 1 individually wrapped Hapū Insemination Syringe

    A sterile specimen cup or collection container

    Optional: a towel, pillow (for hip elevation), and a Softdisc or reusable disc to help retain semen

Wash your hands thoroughly before starting.

2

Collect the Semen Sample

  1. Have your donor or partner ejaculate into a clean specimen cup.

    Allow the sample to sit at room temperature for 15–30 minutes to liquefy — this makes it easier to draw into the syringe.

3

Open the Syringe

  1. Carefully peel open the syringe packaging, avoiding contact with the tip.

    Remove the protective tip cover just before use to maintain sterility.

4

Load the Syringe

  1. Gently draw the semen into the syringe by pulling back the plunger.

    Try to avoid bubbles — a slow, steady draw works best.

    Once loaded, keep the syringe tip upright and avoid contact with surfaces.

5

Get Into Position

  1. Lie down in a comfortable position with your hips slightly elevated (a cushion under your lower back works well).

    You may want to place a towel underneath for extra comfort.

6

Inseminate

  1. Gently insert the rounded syringe tip into the vaginal canal until it feels comfortably placed (the 13cm length is designed to reach near the cervix).

    Slowly and steadily press the plunger to release the semen.

    Remove the syringe gently and remain lying down for 15–30 minutes to encourage sperm movement toward the cervix.

7

Insert a Disc (Optional)

For added support and to minimise leakage, you can insert a Softdisc or reusable disc to help hold the semen closer to the cervix post-insemination.

Aftercare

  1. Dispose of the syringe responsibly after a single use.

    Relax, hydrate, and take care of yourself — you’ve done something amazing for your journey 💗

Important Notes

  1. Our syringes are designed for single use only.

    Always ensure sterility by keeping the syringe sealed until ready to use.

    If you have any concerns or questions about insemination timing, technique, or fertility in general, consult a medical professional or fertility specialist.

Frequently asked questions

Can I buy an insemination syringe at Clicks, Dischem, or Watson's?

You can buy generic oral syringes at most pharmacies, but they're not designed for insemination because the tips are pointed, the length is often too short, and there's no guidance on what to do with them. The InsemiAid is a specialist insemination applicator available exclusively online, shipped directly to you across South Africa. It's the syringe included in all our kits, and available separately for those who need to restock or are building their own insemination method.

What is the difference between an IUI syringe and an at-home insemination syringe?

An IUI (intrauterine insemination) syringe is a clinical instrument used by fertility professionals to pass through the cervix. It is not for home use. The InsemiAid is an ICI (intracervical insemination) syringe used to place semen at the cervical opening, which is the correct and safe approach for at-home insemination. If you've been told you need IUI, that procedure requires a clinic.

Does this syringe have a needle?

No. The InsemiAid is completely needle-free. It has a smooth, rounded tip designed for vaginal use - nothing sharp.

What size syringe is best for home insemination?

10ml with a length of around 13cm. The 10ml capacity is right for any semen sample volume, and 13cm is long enough to comfortably reach the cervix without going further than necessary. Smaller pharmacy syringes are typically too short and have pointed tips, which makes them uncomfortable and less effective.

How many syringes do I need per insemination cycle?

One per insemination attempt. We recommend inseminating on the day of your LH surge and again the following day, so two per cycle is ideal. The pack of 5 covers 2–3 cycles; the pack of 10 is better value for longer journeys.

Can I use this syringe on my own without a partner?

Yes. The InsemiAid is designed for self-use, the ergonomic shape and length make it manageable to use alone. Single women and same-sex couples doing self insemination with a donor use this syringe regularly.

Is the syringe method of insemination effective?

The syringe method of placing semen near the cervix using a round-tipped syringe is the primary method used in at-home artificial insemination and is what Taryn and Kat both used to conceive. It's sometimes called ICI (intracervical insemination) and is considered a sound first-line approach before escalating to clinical procedures.
