Nicotine Pouches Formats

When people talk about nicotine pouches, they usually mention formats like mini or slim. Most of the time, they’re talking about how big the pouch is and how it feels under your lip, not how strong it is. The size affects comfort, how noticeable it is, and how fast the nicotine and flavour kick in.

The confusing bit is that brands don’t all use the same rules. One brand’s “slim” might be another brand’s “regular”. That’s why looking at the actual pouch weight tells you more than the name on the tin.

If you really want to understand pouch formats, ignore the name and look at:

• Pouch weight
• Moisture (dry vs moist)
• Nicotine per pouch

In short:

• Mini = lighter, slower, more discreet
• Slim = balanced, longer-lasting, most popular
• Wet = Faster feeling
• Dry = Slower absorption

Even though names vary, most pouches fall into three rough groups:

Slim sits in the middle, which is why most brands focus on it. Minis are for people who want something subtle. Large pouches exist, but they’re much less common now.

A small number of pouches have other names, like petite (French for mini), super slim, ultra slim, extra large etc. 99% of pouches are slim/standard or mini.

Once you look at real product data, something becomes clear: weight matters more than format names.

Slim nicotine pouches mostly sit between 0.5g and 0.7g. Mini nicotine pouches are usually below 0.5g. That’s true across brands, even if they use different wording.

In all the products on our site, there are:

• 1,483 slim/standard products
• 170 mini products
• c. 50 of any different type
  

That tells you everything about what the market prefers.
Here’s what the real numbers look like when you group them by weight. You can see how slim pouches are tightly grouped, while minis are spread out more.

Why Formats Still Feel Confusing

Even though weights line up, brands don’t usually tell you the pouch weight clearly. Instead, they use names like mini, slim, or regular based on their own range.

So a pouch that’s 0.5g might be called a mini by one brand and a slim by another. That’s why formats feel inconsistent, even when the products are basically the same.

Most modern pouches in Europe use a wet formula, as research shows that users tend to prefer a moister, softer pouch. Wet pouches release nicotine more quickly, giving a faster impact. Dry pouches, such as those from ZYN, are still available and offer a cleaner, slower, and longer-lasting release.

p.s. Recently brands have started renaming wet pouches to moist pouches. We're not sure how we feel about this, but it's happening!
