Your Guide to Poppers
So that we can all better understand the growing popularity of poppers — what they are, what they’re used for, and why. With a bit of insight, we can ultimately make informed, responsible choices.
Originally, poppers were first used in the 1870s as a medical treatment for angina and chest pain. They were stored in small, tear-shaped glass vials that had to be broken open to release the formula — making a popping sound as the glass shattered. Maybe that’s where the name “poppers” came from?
When the aroma was released, the fumes helped relax the arteries and veins, lowering blood pressure and relieving chest pains.
Here comes the science bit…
At My Amazing Poppers, you'll see three main types:
Isopropyl Nitrite – A great option for beginners; mild and manageable.
Pentyl Nitrite – A well-balanced all-rounder, strong strength.
Amyl Nitrite – Strong, intense and long-lasting.
Some blends include two nitrites for a longer-lasting effect.
Safety first, always:
Because poppers lower blood pressure and increase blood flow to the brain, please follow these important guidelines:
Not for sale to anyone under 18
Do not use if you have a heart condition
Avoid if you’re taking erectile dysfunction medication
Keep away from pets and children
Not for human consumption
Highly flammable – keep away from open flames
Never inhale directly from the bottle
How to use:
Open carefully and allow the aroma to circulate the room. Store in a cool, dry place — a fridge works great if it’s safe to do so. Once opened, the liquid loses potency quickly if left exposed.
Common side effects:
Dizziness, nausea, and headache. If you feel unwell, please seek medical advice.
Poppers are legal to buy in the UK when sold as room odourisers or leather cleaners — not for human use. Personal use is not a criminal offence.
FYI: Poppers may be detectable in urine for up to 72 hours after use.

A little history…
Poppers made a big impact in the late 60s through the 80s, especially in club culture and the gay community.
BOOM! Fast forward to today…
In today’s beautifully diverse world, poppers are enjoyed by consenting adults across all genders and orientations. Thanks to more open conversations around sex — supported by media, film, and online platforms — more people are exploring kinks, fantasies, and new ways to enhance intimacy.
Now the fun bit!
Used safely, poppers can be the underrated sex aid that boosts libido, enhances mental freedom, and intensifies physical sensations. They can help lower inhibitions, heighten arousal, and bring a stronger sense of connection and freedom in the moment. Many people find they become more relaxed, less self-conscious, and more in tune with their bodies and desires.
Poppers are especially popular during anal play, BDSM, fantasy scenarios, and deep oral experiences. But they’re not limited to any one kind of pleasure — they’re often used to explore toy play, whether solo or with a partner, and can enhance sensations in group play too. Known for relaxing the anal muscles, they also affect the throat and vulva, allowing for deeper penetration, experimenting with new positions, and embracing the growing trend of larger, more adventurous toys.
Whether you’re on your own, having intimate time with a partner, or enjoying something more playful and social, poppers can heighten the physical and mental pleasures that so many pleasure seekers crave.
And finally…
Remember: safety, consent, and boundaries.
Yes, I often repeat myself — but for good reason!
