The myth of “Poppers in the fridge”

We are always asked how to store Poppers properly at home and whether the fridge is the best place to store Poppers. To anticipate it right away. No, the fridge is not the right place to store Poppers.

Why the refrigerator is unsuitable

Storing Poppers in the fridge is not healthy for you or anyone else and is also very impractical. Poppers are chemicals. I have never seen anyone keep their nitro thinner, methylated spirits or brush cleaner in the refrigerator next to their salad, vegetables and milk. In addition, other people might confuse the poppers bottle with a drink shot such as “Gaudi Max” or “Kleiner Feigling”. This can be fatal at a party, for example. The fridge is also not really discreet, as your girlfriend, mom or flatmates also use the fridge.

What is the best way to store my Poppers?

Poppers need to be cool and dark. That’s why we always see Poppers in the fridge. We distinguish between new/unopened bottles and bottles that have already been opened.

You can easily store new and unopened bottles at room temperature in your cupboard or drawer, e.g. together with your sex toys. Poppers can be kept unopened at room temperature in the dark for several months. Poppers are also stored at room or cellar temperature after manufacture, during transportation, in wholesale and retail.

The situation is different once the bottles have been opened, as the poppers substance slowly begins to decompose in combination with the room air. Once opened, Poppers stored at room temperature can be used for about a month without any problems. It goes without saying that once opened, Poppers should not be stored next to a radiator or in direct sunlight. Once opened, we recommend storing bottles in a ZIP bag or Tupperware in a dark place in a cupboard or drawer. The best place, however, is the basement. It’s dark and cool there, but not too cool. (approx. 12 to 15 degrees). Your opened Poppers will stay fresh for about a month in a ZIP bag or Tupperware in the cellar or at room temperature.

If you store your Poppers too cool (e.g. in the fridge or freezer), you need to plan their use carefully. Poppers only work really well at room temperature. This clearly speaks against the refrigerator.
