Step by step: home artificial insemination
Created by two women who conceived using the at-home insemination method themselves, everything in this kit was carefully crafted through real experience and thoughtful design. Whether you're exploring your options or easing into your TTC journey, The Dinky kit is a gentle, supportive kit to begin with.
Is this an IUI kit? You'll often see at-home insemination kits labelled as "IUI kits" online, but true IUI (intrauterine insemination) must be performed by a medical professional, as it involves placing sperm directly into the uterus. What The Dinky offers is intracervical insemination (ICI), also called intravaginal insemination (IVI), which places sperm at the entrance to the cervix and is safe to do yourself at home. ICI is the most common method used in at-home artificial insemination kits worldwide and it's exactly what Kat and I used during our own journey.

About the dinky kit
Can I use this kit for self insemination at home?
Yes, The Dinky is specifically designed as a self insemination kit. Everything you need for three rounds of at-home insemination is included.
Is home insemination the same as IUI?
Not exactly. Clinical IUI (intrauterine insemination) is performed by a doctor. Home insemination using The Dinky is intracervical insemination (ICI) - a safe, effective method you can do yourself. Many people search for an "IUI kit at home" and ICI is the at-home equivalent.
What is a turkey baster method?
The "turkey baster method" is a common informal name for at-home insemination. The Dinky replaces the turkey baster with a proper round-tipped insemination syringe, making the process cleaner, more precise, and more comfortable.
Where can I buy an insemination kit?
Right here! Hapū Helpers is an Australian-based store that ships to most countries around the world. No need to search "insemination kit near me" as we ship directly to your door. Also at $50.66 AUD, The Dinky is one of the most affordable conception kits available in the world.
How many cycles does it take?
Everyone's journey is different. The Dinky covers up to three insemination rounds (typically 1 cycle), which is a great starting point. Many customers conceive within their first few attempts.
Can same-sex couples or solo parents use this kit?
Absolutely. The Dinky was created by a same-sex couple (Taryn & Kat) and is used by LGBTQ+ couples, solo parents by choice, and couples of all kinds.
Does an at-home insemination kit work?
Yes, at-home insemination kits are effective when used correctly, especially when timed around ovulation. Success depends on factors like timing, sperm quality, and overall fertility, but many people use them as a simple, at-home option on their TTC journey.
Is at-home insemination safe?
At-home insemination is generally safe when using sterile, single-use equipment and following proper instructions. It’s a simple, low-risk option for many people, especially when done carefully and with good hygiene practices. You can check out the processes involved here - AI processes and methods
A note about this kit
"This insemination kit is what we wished existed when we started. Three rounds. Everything you need. None of the things you don't. We made it because we believe getting helpful supplies when trying to conceive at home shouldn't be as complicated as TTC itself."
