How to Use a Nicotine Pouch Properly (2025 Guide by ZULUTIN)

2025-07-21

What Is a Nicotine Pouch? 

A nicotine pouch is a modern, smoke-free oral product designed for adult tobacco users. Instead of burning or spitting, you simply place a small pouch—filled with nicotine, flavorings, and plant-based fibers—between your gum and upper lip. Brands like ZULUTIN offer a range of flavors and strengths to fit different preferences.

1. Prepare Before You Use 

  • Check Your Age: Nicotine products are only for adults 21 and older in the U.S.

  • Wash Your Hands: Always start with clean hands to prevent germs from entering your mouth.

  • Pick the Right Strength: If you’re new to nicotine pouches, ZULUTIN recommends starting with a lower strength, such as 3mg or 6mg, and adjusting based on your comfort and experience.

2. How to Place the Pouch Correctly 
How to place nicotine pouch correctly

  • Lift Your Upper Lip: Use your finger to gently lift your upper lip.

  • Insert the Pouch: Place the nicotine pouch (for example, a ZULUTIN 6mg or 12mg pouch) between your gum and your upper lip, off to the side for comfort.

  • Flatten and Settle: Press gently with your finger or tongue to ensure it sits comfortably and stays in place.

  • Do NOT Chew or Suck: Let the pouch rest. Chewing or sucking is not necessary and can reduce comfort.

3. How Long Should You Use a Nicotine Pouch? 

  • Typical Duration: Most users keep the pouch in for 20 to 40 minutes. Premium brands like ZULUTIN are designed for optimal release within 30 minutes.

  • Mild Tingling Is Normal: It’s common to feel a slight tingling sensation for the first couple of minutes. This usually fades as your mouth gets used to the pouch.

  • End Early if Uncomfortable: If you feel irritation or discomfort, remove the pouch immediately and rinse your mouth with water.

4. Safety Tips & Dos and Don’ts 

Dos Don’ts
Use only one pouch at a time Never use more than one at once
Store unused pouches in a cool, dry place Don’t swallow, chew, or suck the pouch
Remove pouch after use and dispose in trash Don’t use while sleeping, driving, or drinking alcohol

5. How to Dispose of Used Pouches

  • Dispose Responsibly: Always throw used pouches in the trash. Do not flush down the toilet.
