    I have been using for 2+ years and have no issues with such. Been too long to remember if I ever did at the beginning.

    But yes, I am betting your issues have to do with it being new to you. So much salt in the snus, just takes a bit for your body to fully adjust to it.

      If you are getting soreness on the part where your gum meets your canine tooth, you can fold one corner of the portion back to avoid contact with that area. As a side effect it makes it harder to see when you smile.

      You can also fold them in half and avoid most all contact with the edges of your gums if you want.

            I've been using nothing but los all week, pretty heavy. The upper part of my lips are wrinkly, and yes a spot that I don't use often became a little sore, nothing major. I've been snusing for about a year and I think it's because it's a new spot. No big deal. I just switched to the other side of my lip :wink:

              I get sore gums every so often when I overdo the snus. It goes away after a short while.

                  that works for me. i am also thinking about trying some los but i have heard some things about what in the snus world is called a mud slide, so i am a bit not sure about trying it lol

                    My gums burn every once in a while, especially when I'm using high-nicotine los. This may sound masochistic, but I enjoy the burn!

                          I'm just breaking balls.

                          I agree it's mostly due to the salt.

                          Move it around to different spots each new snus.

                          Drink plenty of fluids. It too will pass.

                              Make sure to keep drinking something. Mostly water, but iced tea goes great with "straight" flavor snus lime general, ettan, grov etc. It'll go away with time. Just cut down a bit, switch sides and keep some liquid by you.
