Hygeinic way to insert snus?

[Burnsey]

Hey k3v, welcome back....I don't do loose snus often but I do need to wipe the fingers on something after a pinch, generally not my clothes.....

It's funny that you bumped this thread as I thought about it out of the blue the other day......our OCD original poster must have a difficult time with popcorn....canned nuts,etc.........

I place myself firmly in the opposite camp. One of my favourite past-times is pulling out snuff mortar and flicking it at people. Guess OP and I might not get along.

I usually wash my hands pretty often so I don't always worry about that unless I'm out and about or riding a city bus (I always feel contaminated after that, but I'm mildly OCD as well ) The way I like to have a portion is to take it out and fluff it up with my fingers, then roll it in half like a hot dog bun and pop it into my upper lip so it doesn't hang down. It will stay in place much better and drip less. As for any fear of germs you might have, you'll be happy to know that nicotine is quite antiseptic in its own right so any germs that might find their way onto your portion from hand contact will be killed right away. That and the pH of snus is rather inhospitable to bacterial growth.

As for your car, I usually rinse my fingertips off after putting in a pouch and you wont be able to do that in a car. Might I suggest wet wipes or even a damp washcloth? I detail cars now and then as a business and I don't think you have too much to worry about.

I will wash my hands if dirty/messy and soap/water is accessible but otherwise I just wipe hand on pant leg. Not very hygenic but gets off loose oil, dirt, crumbs..etc and it works for me.

if i happen to be at work and can't readily get to the bathroom, i'll wipe my hands on my dirty work pants. but i just don't want to ruin perfectly good pants with some sort of grease or oil from my hands, so i wear pretty beat up shit to work.

Right, and no napkin required when wearing long sleeves.....

OCD overload! I can't wipe my hands on my clothes, I just can't!!

But Skell, we haven't all got servants to wipe our fingers on :sorrow:

This only works with portions and is what i do when in a country where hygiene is an issue.

Get a packet of cocktail sticks or toothpicks. Get your snus can out your pocket - the outside of the can might be grubby but the aim is to not touch the inside of the can.

Get the cocktail stick out the pack only touching one end of it. Jab a snus portion with the other end of the stick. Whack it in your mouth. Move into place with your tongue. Put lid back on can. Job done. Enjoy!
