Crest Whitestrips

[cash78mere]

Anyone ever tried these? I bought them the other day (for $40!!!) and am hoping they work. My teeth are actually a good strong white, but I'm always hoping for even better!

They have a money back guarantee after 14 days. But that means nothing since no one ever does that and I think I already lost the receipt.

So anyway, positive experiences...negative experiences....?

(that is how my teeth will look in 14 days!)

i did them... they kinda work, but i really did not need them either so i dont know for sure. just remember to do them everyday or else you get backed up and it gets to be a pain in the ass to sit for a hour total with them in your mouth.

let me know how they work as i may try them out. I have been tempted to get them but i rarely go to the grocery store and when I do I have a basketfull already and adding another 40$ on to my already 200$ bill stresses me out (but of course i always have enough money to buy candles! )

My brother is also my dentist (luckily, I have few teeth problems and I get free bonding, lol). Last time I was in, I asked the hygenist about them. She said that bro gave samples to his staff (5 I think) to try out. She said it worked okay, but it was like having saran wrap on your teeth. If she had given a stronger recommendation, I might have gone to buy..

These things really work!

I am so happy with how white my teeth look! I can't tell you how many people have commented on them--people who didn't even know I was using the strips!

Just 2 complaints--1) the strips are not long enough so they only whiten the very front of your smile. i have been creative and am cutting the "extra" part of the strip to put on the sides

2) damn, they make your teeth sensitive! so sensitive that being out in the cold air hurts them! but i have sensitive teeth normally (can't ever use ice in a drink!) so this just makes it worse

I'm convinced!

Wow, so they do work? I dont really need them, but it would be fun to try them and see the difference. I tried Rembrant once but they didnt really work and i didnt use them like I was supposed to.

Okay well you have motivated me into going and buying them

I've threatened to use them before my wedding, but I've also heard this complaint. How long does that last?

Well, I have really sensitive teeth to begin with. But the hurt lasts less than a day. So what I have been doing is using them every other day. It gives my teeth a break.

The mother of the girl i tutor was staring at me yesterday. Finally she blurted out "your teeth are so white!". i almost fell to the floor! so i can deal with some sensitivity because people are actually noticing!! it's such a great feeling!

I bought them today! I am such a sucker for everything out there that people are trying to sell. Hopefully it will work for me.

I just dont like how you cant wear the top and bottom strips at the same time or atleast one after another. You have to use all the top strips before you can start the bottom ones!

Anyways, I will keep you guys updated on how they work for me.

bucutie2-

they say that because you can return them for a refund after using the tops if they don't work but ONLY if you still have all the bottom strips. once i saw they worked, i started wearing the tops and bottoms together and it works just fine.

here's a tip --the bottom strip still has half the "stuff" still on it. cut it into 2 rectangular pieces to put on the sides of your bottom teeth. that way the sides get white too! it doesn't stay in place that well unless you keep your mouth closed, but that's not that hard for 30 minutes (well, unless you like to talk a lot!). also, for the top strips--since the sides don't get whitened, start out one day putting the strips all the way to the left side of your mouth. then the next day put it on the right side. that way it evens out and your middle teeth are covered every day.

as you can see i am a whitestrip addict! i have my own little systems and everything!

happy whitening!

Hey can this be a product survey page? Has anyone tried the epil stop and spray or the abtronics? (I love infomercials and have been holding myself back from trying these products) Any info. would be helpful

if the hair is really thick, it won't work. A friend of mine tried it on his chest hair and it didn't work. But, I used it on my legs where there is thin hair and it worked ok. Grew back in two days.

[bucutie02]

cash78mere,
two questions....

1. When did you start to see the difference? I have a friend who also tried them and he said they didnt work for him so he returned the bottom strips for a refund.

2. When did your teeth start to get sensitive, or shall i say even more sensitive since you mentioned they are already sensitive as it is?

Thanks

Hopefully my teeth will look like this too

Karen,
There is a thread about infomercials in chit chat, it hasnt been recently active so you would have to do a search

I have sensitive teeth and I didn't have a problem with the crest strips. I definitely noticed a difference before the 14 days were up, but I hated that you had to start with the top teeth first because I did it religiously and then kinda got "bored" with it (aka lazy) and now my top teeth are whiter than my lower teeth. I really need to finish the box!
