Poppers hangover

When you hear the word "hangover," do you only think of the occasional night spent drinking heavily? Then maybe you haven't experienced a poppers hangover yet, have you? But let me tell you: It can be just as unpleasant.

Of course, the actual effect of poppers usually only lasts a few minutes. Your heart rate increases, you feel your inhibitions drop, and a reduced perception of pain makes even the more unusual sex practices a little more relaxed.

But what happens afterward? Ideally, inhaling poppers won't cause any after-effects. However, the symptoms collectively referred to as the "poppers hangover" cannot be completely ruled out.

This makes it all the more important to know what to do in such a situation. And that's exactly where this article comes in! We'll tell you how you can ideally feel better quickly after a night full of passion, sex, and desire.

Avoid a Poppers hangover with the right intensity

If you've never used poppers before, you should start with a low intensity and then gradually increase the intensity—if you want to.

In this context, pay attention to the values ​​stated in the product descriptions. Smaller sizes for beginners are an ideal choice. Reputable online shops operate very transparently and leave no questions unanswered. If in doubt, simply contact customer support. However, keep in mind that poppers affect everyone differently. Ultimately, you'll inevitably experience a certain degree of uncertainty when you try sniffing for the first time.

It's best not to inhale poppers alone, especially the first time, but with another gay man who's already "in the know." They can then look after you a bit. Sure, it can be fun to snort during a wild gang bang. However, the risk of things getting out of hand is higher. First, find out how your body reacts and what intensity works best for you!

The day after sex: When the poppers hangover bothers you

First of all: Of course, there's no guarantee that you'll develop a poppers hangover. Perhaps you'll feel perfectly fit?

However, your body may still be busy breaking down the substance, which can make you feel like you've been hit by a bus.

If poppers consumption is causing you so much trouble, you shouldn't plan anything but spend the day at home in bed. Where yesterday may have been a total nightmare, now it's time to chill out. Give your body the time it needs to wind down.

The following tips will also help you fight your poppers hangover:

1. Drink plenty of (non-alcoholic) fluids.
   Before and after inhaling poppers, you should always drink plenty of fluids (and please, non-alcoholic ones). Alcohol only increases the risk of developing a poppers hangover. It can also help to have a light snack before consuming poppers. Avoid large meals. Your body has enough to deal with the aromas. You don't need to put additional strain on it.
2. Only inhale your poppers in well-ventilated rooms.
   Rooms where poppers are inhaled should always have sufficient oxygen. This significantly reduces the risk of developing a poppers hangover. Besides, you'll feel hot shortly after inhaling anyway, so it's even better if you can look forward to a cool breeze.
3. Please don’t overdo it!
   Do you love sex with your favorite poppers? Understandable. However, you should definitely not overdo it! Never use two poppers in a row. Some recommend using the flavors no more than twice a week. Ultimately, however, it depends on each individual's tolerance of their poppers. Instead of experimenting—for example, in search of an even more intense experience—it's far more sensible to rely on high-quality equipment, such as masks, when necessary.
