How to Use Nicotine Pouches — Step-by-Step Guide
Learn how to use nicotine pouches correctly: placement, timing, disposal and tips for the best experience.
Using a nicotine pouch is simple, but a few small details can make the experience much better. Whether you are trying them for the first time or switching from another nicotine product, this step-by-step guide covers everything you need to know.
Step 1: Choose your strength
Start with a lower strength if you are new to nicotine pouches. Our strength guide explains the difference between light, normal, strong, extra strong, hyper strong and extreme pouches.
Step 2: Place the pouch
Take one pouch from the can and place it under your upper lip, between the lip and the gum. It does not matter which side. The pouch should sit comfortably and not move around when you talk or smile.
Step 3: Let it release
Leave the pouch in place for 20 to 40 minutes. You will feel a tingling sensation as the nicotine and flavour begin to release. The flavour may fade before the nicotine effect does — that is normal.
Step 4: Dispose responsibly
Remove the pouch when you are finished and throw it in a bin. Do not swallow it. Many cans come with a small disposal compartment in the lid for used pouches when you are on the go.
Tips for the best experience
- Do not chew or suck the pouch — it is designed to release nicotine through contact with your gum.
- Drink water before and after using a pouch to keep your mouth comfortable.
- Rotate the placement slightly each time to avoid irritation in one spot.
- Start with a light or normal pouch and adjust based on how you feel.
