Using it

05What is a buccal pouch?

A small pouch that sits between your gum and your upper lip. “Buccal” just means the inside of the cheek and lip — the tissue there is thin and richly supplied with blood, so what the pouch releases is absorbed directly rather than swallowed.

That is the whole reason the format works. A drink has to go down, through your stomach, before any of it reaches you. A buccal pouch skips that, which is what lets it release steadily across 25 minutes instead of arriving in one hit — and why it needs no water and no free hand.

It is the same delivery route as a nicotine pouch, and none of the contents. Full detail on the science page.

06How do I use one?
  • Put it between your gum and upper lip, flat side against the gum.
  • Leave it there for the 25-minute window. You will feel a light tingle to start.
  • Take it out when the window closes and bin it. Do not flush it.

Do not chew it and do not swallow it. Start with one and add a second only when the session is genuinely longer or hotter. You do not need water at any point.

07How long does one last?

25 minutes. Take it out when the window closes.

08What does it feel like?

A light tingle and clear flavor up front, easing off as the window runs down. The caffeine arrives gradually, not in one hit.

09When should I use one?

A few minutes before the hard part, or partway through a long session.

10How much caffeine is in it?

40mg per pouch. At three pouches, 120mg. Check with a clinician first if you are:

  • Sensitive to caffeine
  • Pregnant or nursing
  • Under 18
  • Taking medication
11How many can I use in a day?

Use 1–3 per session, scaled to how long and how hard you are going — that is the design, not a workaround.

The ceiling is 6 pouches in 24 hours, which is 240 mg of caffeine. Do not exceed it. Add a pouch when the session runs longer or hotter — not to feel more.

12Do I swallow it?

No. It stays under your lip for the window, then comes out. Do not chew it either — the pouch is meant to stay intact.

Ordering & shipping

13When does it ship?

Fall 2026, and the first batch is limited. The launch list orders first. Full detail on shipping and returns.

14Where do you ship, and can I send it back?

The US at launch. Shipping is calculated at checkout from the weight of your order and where it is going, and you see it before you pay. You have 30 days to return an unopened tin for a full refund on the tins — return postage is yours to pay.
