Poppers (alkyl nitrites) are liquid aromas often used for relaxation and enhancement during intimate or social moments. While widely enjoyed, they should always be used safely and responsibly. Follow these guidelines to reduce risks and ensure the best experience.

⚠️ 1. General Safety

For external use only – poppers are not for ingestion or injection.Swallowing poppers can be dangerous and may cause serious health issues or death.
Do not inhale directly from the bottle.Instead, open the bottle and let the aroma diffuse naturally in the air or waft gently toward your nose.
Keep away from eyes, mouth, and skin.Poppers are chemical liquids that can cause burns or irritation.
Never mix with other substances – especially alcohol, erectile dysfunction medication (like Viagra or Cialis), or recreational drugs.Mixing can dangerously lower blood pressure and lead to fainting or cardiac complications.

❤️ 2. Using Poppers Responsibly

Start slow. Take a small whiff and wait to feel the effects before repeating.
Use in moderation. Overuse can cause headaches, dizziness, or temporary loss of consciousness.
Keep sessions short. Avoid prolonged exposure in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces.
Stay hydrated and allow your body time to recover between uses.
Know your limits – everyone reacts differently.

💨 3. Environment & Storage

Ventilate your space. Use poppers in a room with fresh air flow.
Keep the cap tightly closed when not in use to prevent spillage or evaporation.
Store upright in a cool, dark place – heat or sunlight can weaken the formula or make the bottle unstable.
Keep away from flames, sparks, or heat sources.Poppers are highly flammable.
Dispose of responsibly. Rinse the empty bottle and recycle where facilities allow.

🚫 4. Health Considerations

Avoid poppers if you have:
- Heart or blood pressure issues
- Breathing difficulties or anaemia
- Glaucoma (eye pressure condition)
If you experience chest pain, breathing problems, blurred vision, or fainting, stop use immediately and seek medical advice.
Do not drive or operate machinery while under the influence.

🧤 5. Handling & Accidents

If spilled on skin: wash immediately with soap and water.
If splashed in eyes: rinse thoroughly with clean water and seek medical help.
If swallowed: do not induce vomiting — call emergency services immediately and show the product label.

🤝 6. Respect & Consent

Poppers can enhance connection and relaxation — but always ensure any experience involving them is consensual, safe, and respectful for everyone involved.

🔒 7. Legal Reminder

Poppers are sold as room aromas or novelty products and not for human consumption under UK law.Always follow label instructions and purchase only from reputable, verified sellers.
