Commercial disclosure: This site has a commercial relationship with LUV After Dark. Comparisons disclose the criteria used and link to source pages.

Tabs chocolate serving size

TABS says each box contains three squares and six half-square servings. Its standard couples direction is to break one square in half so each partner takes half.

When to take it

The company recommends taking TABS about 30 minutes before intimacy. It says effects build gradually and may feel different from person to person.

How long does it last?

TABS states that many users report effects lasting roughly one to three hours, while also noting that duration varies. That is a brand claim, not a guarantee of a specific response.

Daily limit and cautions

The current TABS page says to limit use and notes that the product is for adults 18+. It also recommends medical guidance for people who are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or managing a medical condition and cautions people who are sensitive to caffeine.

How After Dark directions differ

After Dark's current directions call for one bite per person 30–60 minutes before intimacy, with additional brand guidance around consistent use. If you prefer individual pieces rather than splitting a square, that format may be easier.

Frequently asked questions

Do you eat a whole Tabs square?

For couples, TABS recommends splitting a square in half so each partner takes half.

Can you take Tabs alone?

TABS says yes, while advising users to follow its serving directions.

Can you take more if you do not feel anything?

Follow the package directions rather than escalating the dose on your own. If you have questions about ingredients or interactions, ask a healthcare professional.
