So, as some has hinted in the past, you really shouldn't put your portions dead centre up top. It never really bothered me, but the other day I noticed that my upper lip frenulum (the little web-thingy that connects your lips to your gums) is essentially gone. There are two small nubs, one on my gum, the other behind my lip. I suppose the friction from the portion finally did it in, so now they're disconnected. Doesn't really make me feel bad in any way, but if you're keen on keeping that attached, put your portions a wee bit to the side.

Ouch. -
Well, you know what they say: if you've still got your upper-lip frenulum, you're not a real snusophile.
Okay, they don't say that. AFAIK.
Snus. It's a delight, a friend, and even a surgeon:

Bump!
I noticed mine has mostly disappeared recently.
It's just like my bottom lip one disappeared from dip.
Soon, I will be able to los dead center without splitting the pris.
I really don't see a downside to this. Is there one?

The frenulum's purpose:
The frenulum starts out as a thick, stiff, cord-like structure, whos purpose is to guide the mouth structures during initial formation inside the womb.
So in other words, its just to make sure sh*t gets put in the right place when forming.
After birth, there's really no use for it. Orthodontists regularly remove it in patients, because it pulls up on the gums, causing gum recession in some patients, and impeding procedures aimed at closing a front tooth gap with braces, etc etc...
Did that make sense?Comment

Cool! Thanks.

Interesting how within hours of reading this thread, a friend told me how her son took a bad fall from their couch and separated 'that stringy thing' from his upper gum. I interrupted and said, the 'frenulum?' They were shocked that I knew what it was called. All thanks to you guys!!!Comment

Not sure. It took me about 8 months of solid snusing to really notice that my frenulum is almost gone. I snus los top right and top left, but the end is always touching the frenulum and probably wearing it away by friction and salting. Probably won't really be gone for another 6 months.
The one one my bottom lip disappeared in two months from dipping dead center. I do not dip anymore.

I think I don't care for American dip anymore. I used to dip regularly years ago, but I don't think I was a dip head like many people are that love it....

I quit fully from smoking I believe 8-9 years ago. I used to post more often when I was making my transition and have never gone back to cigarettes.... -
Thunder Frosted Slim White Dry has a strong flavor of spearmint and a long-lasting taste. It has a mild tobacco flavor and the nicotine level is very high.
The slim format gives a discreet chewing experience and the white and dry portions provide a low drip, low shipping ...22-07-20, 06:36 PM -
Our strongest product - as strong as it gets - stronger than Oden's Extreme and at the same level as Thunder X snus and Siberia snus...so be careful!
Thunder X Chewing Bags with a flavor of mint and menthol will definitely give you a hit! White dry portions for low drip and long lasting release. ...17-07-20, 11:51 AM
