Listerine Whitening-Instant Dissolving Whitening Strips, 56 Strips (Short Dated)

Ok here is the breakdown. I've used the crest whitening strips for years now...and I've always hated the inconvenience of putting them in my mouth, leaving them in for 10 minutes while letting my mouth fill with saliva, and almost getting to the point of gagging before I spit the whole thing out. I also wasn't able to speak while I had to crest strips in.

I got a free sample of these from Walmart and then ordered a pack from Amazon. Honestly I can see why people put them on wrong because the instructions are a bit vague and a friend has told me that when he puts the strip on while looking in the mirror that the notch on the strip may seem like it's on the wrong side.

Well your right side is your right side regardless of what it looks like in the mirror. Your right hand may appear to be your left if you're looking at it from the perspective of the person in the mirror. So before putting them on backwards then complaining that they stick to your hands first...Read more

Pros:

-Comes with 56 strips.
-Individually wrapped, easy to apply and don't fall off.
-Works pretty well so far.


Cons:

-Initially some tooth/gum related pain.
-Some of the packages can be annoying to open.

I decided to try the Listerine Whitening strips, since they looked like a tempting new product, plus they were more competitively priced. I'm not sure what the hydrogen peroxide contents of these are, but initially I did have some of the associated tooth/gum pain. It felt like pain associated with a cavity, but worse. So I stopped treatment, and did the treatment a little slower. The pain only happened once, and I've since upped the treatment back two twice a day without problems.

The strips are individually wrapped, and are easy to apply. Make sure you follow the directions though! The cleaning material is only on one side of the strip, so make sure you align the notch correctly when applying...Read more

I was very skeptical when I first tried this product. I have tried many on the market and none of them really seem to do the job. I received 2 strips in the mail to try so I figured what the heck. They were very easy to put on and very comfortable once they were on. I could carry on a conversation very easily, no foaming or anything. After about 5 minutes they were dissolved but they dissolve down and leave a sticky goo in your mouth. You definitely need to rinse so I dont recommend using these if you are in a position where you cant rinse. I brushed after mine dissolved so I could get all that residue off. Checked out my teeth in the mirror after I finished brushing and wow!! I was impressed. Now, they werent snow white but I also only used them one time and there was a noticeable difference. I cant wait to go buy some of these and whiten my teeth even more.
