How to Use Origin (The Hapū Helper)
Whether you're using Origin to support insemination or for leak-proof period protection, this step-by-step guide has you covered.
For Post-Insemination Support
jump to menstrual useComplete the Insemination Process
After inserting semen (using a syringe or during intercourse), stay lying down with your hips slightly elevated for 15–30 minutes. This allows sperm to move toward the cervix naturally.
Prepare the Disc
-
Wash your hands thoroughly.
Rinse the Origin disc with warm water and mild, unscented soap if it’s not freshly cleaned.
Hold the disc with the open side facing up, and pinch it in half to create a narrow shape for insertion.
Insert the Disc
-
While in a semi-reclined or squatting position, gently insert the pinched disc into the vaginal canal.
Push it back and down toward the tailbone, then tuck the front rim up behind your pubic bone.
It should feel snug and secure — no sharp edges or discomfort.
Wear the Disc
-
You can wear Origin for up to 12 hours.
It’s comfortable to sleep in and discreet enough for daily wear.
Avoid removing it too soon — keeping it in longer helps maintain semen contact near the cervix.
Remove the Disc
Wash your hands.
In a squatting position, hook your finger under the front rim and gently pull it out.
Tip: Removing over the toilet can help catch any mess.
Rinse and clean with mild soap or a cup wash. Store in a clean, dry container.
🩸 For Menstrual Use
Sterilise Before Every Use
-
Before your first period use, boil the Origin disc in water for 5 minutes. Let it cool and dry completely.
Fold and Insert
-
Pinch the disc in half and insert it into the vaginal canal, pushing it back and slightly downward.
Tuck the front rim behind your pubic bone.
Wear for Up to 12 Hours
-
Origin can be worn comfortably all day or overnight.
It collects menstrual flow, rather than absorbing it, and is ideal for heavy flow days.
Remove, Rinse, and Reuse
-
Hook your finger under the rim and pull it out gently.
Empty, rinse, and reinsert as needed.
At the end of your cycle, wash thoroughly and boil again before storing.
Helpful Tips
-
Try inserting in the shower or with one leg raised if you’re new to discs.
If it leaks, it may not be tucked behind the pubic bone — try reinserting.
Origin is not a contraceptive and doesn’t protect against STIs.
