All the Flavours with None of the Burn
As exciting as Stingfree’s protective layer might be, it’s not enough as a standalone. Naturally, most people also expect their pouches to taste great.
The good news is that Stingfree ticks that box, with flavours like:
- Stingfree Strong Blue Mint. Refreshing and minty, with a slight sweetness. Who says mint has to be all about the burn? These pouches contain 6.6mg of nicotine each.
- Stingfree Ocean Mint Strong. These pouches are also minty, but they’re more potent. They boast a eucalyptus and menthol fusion alongside 11 mg of nicotine.
- Stingfree Maltese Lemon. No nicotine pouch collection is complete without a citrus option, and in the case of Stingfree, Maltese Lemon fills that role. It has a tart yet sweet flavour and 4.4mg of nicotine per pouch.
- Stingfree Swedish Cola. This is one for anyone who has a sweet tooth. Emulating the classic beverage of fizzy cola, it’s fresh and delicious, with 6.6mg of nicotine per pouch.
- Stingfree California Peach. Fresh and fruity, Peach is all about a sweet experience inspired by the popular fruit. Pouches contain 4.4mg of nicotine each.
- Stingfree Caribbean Mango. A second fruity option, Mango has a ripe, tasty, and exotic flavour. Each pouch contains 5.5mg of nicotine.
What’s Different about Stingfree Pouches?
The defining feature of Stingfree pouches lies in their name. They’re literally free from stinging (that “burn” many people experience when using pouches), thanks to a unique design that minimises contact with the gum and friction.
Explaining Stingfree’s Protective Layer
Gum irritation is a common complaint of pouch users. As pouches rub against gum tissues, ingredients that regulate pH and provide flavour can cause a burning sensation.
But Stingfree pouches show there’s an alternative. The manufacturers use a protective layer (“PROTEX”) to provide a barrier between the pouch and the gum.
Does it Really Work?
Stingfree says its innovative layer is patented and developed in Sweden, and has even been approved by Swedish dentists (through a study that investigated how switching to Stingfree impacted oral health for a test group).
But rest assured that this protective layer doesn’t affect the ability of the pouches to release nicotine and flavour and create a satisfying experience. The protective layer is extremely thin, and all flavours and nicotine can still pass through the unprotected side of the pouch to be absorbed and activated.
In fact, Stingfree says that the pouches may be even longer-lasting than regular pouches.
FAQs
How to Use Stingfree Pouches?
Although Stingfree pouches are unique for the protective layer they all have, the way they’re used is almost exactly the same as any other nicotine pouch — just pop them out of the can and under the upper lip. The only difference is that the protective layer (the blue side) should face the gums and teeth, and not be placed against the lip.
Are Stingfree Pouches Good for Oral Health?
There is some evidence that the protective layer used in Stingfree pouches has a beneficial impact on oral health compared to regular nicotine pouches. However, they still carry all the usual risks associated with nicotine.
How Fast do Stingfree Pouches Hit?
Stingfree pouches have moist contents, which help them to release nicotine and flavour fast. This creates a more intense experience.
How Many Pouches are in a Stingfree Can?
One Stingfree can contains 20 pouches.
Who Makes Stingfree?
Stingfree pouches are made by Stingfree AB in Sweden, the home of Swedish snus and nicotine pouches. But while they respect this cultural heritage, the protective layer shows a commitment to innovation.
How Big are Stingfree Pouches?
Stingfree pouches all have a slim format. This works out as a weight of 0.55g per pouch, which adds to the maximum comfort the protective layer already offers.
