First I would like to thank Chick Advisor for this amazing product testing opportunity!
I was so excited about testing this product that I did it the same evening that it arrived. I was concerned about 2hrs with these strips on -- what if the phone rang or someone came to the door? The last time I whitened my teeth I used the bleaching trays and you couldn't open your mouth to talk or anything! These strips were amazing and yes, someone did come to the door but luckily didn't notice anything. They are so comfortable and talking is not a problem which is nice because trying to find 2hrs of uninterrupted time in my house is impossible!
As for the product, I did experience some teeth sensitivity for about 18hrs after using but it went away and was absolutely worth it when I saw the result. Although I didn't have any stains on my teeth the results were noticeable in their brightness! I LOVED this product so much I lent one set of strips to my Uncle who had very badly stained teeth and then OMG what a difference - wish I'd taken a photo to post because the results were unbelievable and in only one treatment!
I have told everyone I know about this product and again would like to thank Chick Advisor for this opportunity!!!
Everytime I go to the grocery store, I eye the Crest Whitestripes ... $54.00 is a lot to pay for something that I dont know how effective it will be. Then I was accepted as a tester !! My lucky day !!! I will say that I will no longer, just eye it .. but I will be putting it in my grocery cart !!! I cant not believe the difference, after just one use.
It was Monday night, and I decided tonight is the night to try these out. I excitingly read the instructions, 3 times (I didnt want to screw this up!!) got the package opened, had my mirror ready and I was sitting at my kitchen table... I was a little confused where the longer strip went ... instructions are not too clear on that part. Finally figured it out and I applied them with ease. The next two hours flew by as I was watching some shows from the previous week that I had missed.
When I removed them ... I was INSTANTLY impressed ... Now, I have always had nice straight white teeth. Since hitting my 30's they seem to get less white each year. I could immediately see a difference, see that brightness once again. I must have looked in a mirror and grinned about 150 times that night !!!
Also, I found my teeth feeling so smooth and refreshed. Now here it is, a few days later and that feeling is still there. I find this absolutely amazing.
This is a product I will start to use, sure the price is a little steep .. but its well worth it in my books. I am so impressed with this product, I have been complimented on my pearly whites forever, and with Crest Whitestripes I will continue to get those compliments.
Yes ladies, I know, your probably thinking "2 hours" Really? Well 2 hours without that ice cream is well worth it!!! Yes, my teeth were a bit sensitive after taking them off but that went away after the day. This product actually made my teeth 2 shades whiter!!! Love this! and you only have to do it once every 3 months!
I tried the whitestips last night, I must start off with saying that its the first time I have ever used whitening strips before. As a first timer I found it a bit awkward. They arent the most comfortable. The instructions were abit lacking, it didnt say anything about drinking while the strips were on, so I was afraid to drink incase it wrecked the effect. I also think that the product would be much better if there was some flavour to it, considering that it is a crest product, it may have been more comfortable if there was a mint flavour or something along those lines.
I found the product to be rather effective. My teeth are definetly whiter and I will continue to use the strips in the future!
I received Crest 3D White Whitestrips 2-Hour Express strips and I was really excited to try them. I have tried white strips in the past and I was pleased with the results. You get four packages of strips (top and bottom strips are included in one package) which ends up being a years supply because you use 1 package (two strips) once every 3 months. The strips stay on your teeth for 2 hours, hence the name. So basically you get whiter teeth four times a year for 8 hours in total. Not too shabby, huh?
I first noticed that the strips were thicker. I appreciated this because the older version strips were thin and felt a little flimsy on my teeth. When I applied these strips they felt secure on my teeth.
As I mentioned, you keep the strips on for 2 hours. I found doing the old strips twice a day for 30 minutes each was a big commitment. This way, you slap the strips on when you're bumming around the house and get it over with. Although, the 2 hours did drag.
As soon as the 2 hours were up, I jumped up and almost ran to the bathroom. When I went to take them off, they didn't slide off easily. You have to tug on them a bit. I didn't mind this because at least I knew the strips were really on my teeth well.
I wasn't too sure what to do when the strips were off. They leave some residue on your teeth and they did not cover that in the instructions. I wet my toothbrush a little and lightly buffed the gel like whitening stuff off. No harm, no foul.
I noticed that my teeth were considerable whiter. More than just a couple shades which made me really happy.
I didn't experience any pain during or after having the whitening strips on which is odd because I have sensitive teeth. I have heard of people experiencing pain after the whitening process so I'm glad I didn't.
At around $75 for one box (with a years supply of whitening strips), they are expensive. But I think white teeth help with ones confidence and it is something that people notice.
I plan on maintaining my new white smile with the Crest 3D white toothpaste, mouthwash and toothbrush.
The aesthetics of the packaging are eye catching but more than half of the package is basically unused so I definitely think the packaging could be smaller.
All together, a definite buy!
Let me just start off my review of these strips by saying these are ones that will finally stay on my teeth! I've had problems with whitestrips before; something about them made them impossible to stay on my teeth. These ones have an advanced grip, and they stayed on my teeth for the full two hours - no adjusting!
I dislike the foaming and I always think I'm going to end up swallowing some of the peroxide, but I was brave enough to try swallowing (since having the strips in does create a lot of saliva) and didn't taste any of the gel. Bonus! I guess that's more proof the seal works!
My teeth are slightly whiter, but I may need to do another strip on my upper/lower in a few months to see how much whiter my teeth will get. I do still have some slight yellowing, but for two hours, that's pretty darn good! If I smile with my teeth clenched, you don't see any of the yellow. I guess that's the effect we're looking for. I'm happy with it! The only yellow I can see that might need more work is the yellowing close to my gumline. These strips are meant to sit right at your gumline which is where I had them. I won't say it did nothing to my gumline, because it did - it whitened it a little, but not to a true white. They're just lighter than they were before.
The packaging is a little big for what actually comes in the box, but there are two compartments so the instructions won't be lost within the strips. There are four treatments in one box, so you're good for a full year! You're meant to use these once every three months if you want, but no more than that. So far, my teeth are not sensitive. That's a good sign! If you already have sensitive teeth, be careful using peroxide... hot and cold may become painful for a few days. If your teeth are normal and non-sensitive like mine, I don't have a problem with sensitivity right now, so you probably won't either. The instructions are great and very easy to follow. They give you tips to put them on so that there's a better grip, and assistance for taking the strips off. When I took mine off, they were stuck on my teeth very well. I did have to tug a little, but they came out pretty easy.
In my pictures I posted for this review, you'd be able to tell which one's the before and which one's the after. You'll notice white spots on my teeth in the after photo; Crest says this is normal and it will go away within a few hours. So, don't worry!
Overall, this worked better than any other strip I've used and I'd definitely buy it again. The pack lasts me a year? Yes please!
For some reason, my pictures didn't post... sorry about that! I hope my explanation above was enough.
I was very excited to be chosen to review this product and anxiously awaited its arrival. Once it arrived I almost immediately put the set of strips on.
They were very easy to apply, the gel is quite sticky and it definitely helped because they did not budge at all and made cleaning and doing every day tasks really easy! Unlike the regular white strips, which slip and slide on and off your teeth during the duration of the whitening process.
After the two hours I took them off and I could notice a difference in my teeth. They were at least one shade whiter and it felt great! I am not someone who smokes or has very yellow teeth but this definitely gave me a nice boost in my smile and I am proud to flaunt my bright smile now!
After a couple of hours after taking the strips off I did notice some medium amount of sensitivity, which is normal and should go away within a couple of days at most.
I would definitely reccomend this product to everyone and they give a nice and quick boost in my smile. Surely this is a product I will keep repurchasing!
Smile on!
I was more than excited to be picked to review the Crest 3D White Whitestrips 2-hour Express and waited in anticipation for my package to arrive! Yesterday the day had finally come and a rather hairy (facial) creepy possible drunk delivery man knocked (if you would call falling into my door knocking) on my door and delivered my review package! Without a pen and me weary of him I shut my door grabbed a pen ran back and signed for my package.
I was quite busy yesterday and by the time it was delivered I had only 1.5 hours before picking up my children from school so that wasn't the best time to test it out! Of course after school became dinner and then dessert along with baths and bedtime stories. Before I knew it it was 11:00pm and I was beat. I decided I would wait until today to put them to the test!
After dropping of my children at school I came home to my comfy office where I work from home and popped on the strips! 2 hours on while working easy peasy. There were a few times during the 2 hours I was surprised with a little ZING! like if you bit on some aluminium foil but no irritation while wearing them.
My 2 hours was up and I was FREE to pull those suckers off! Now I am a smoker so my teeth before (I use Crest 3D white and ProHealth Toothpaste currently) were on the yellow side. When I peeled off the strips I could see a difference :D Now my teeth are not Hollywood white nor did I expect them to be but the improvement is amazing and I cannot wait to see what they will look like in the coming weeks now that they are whiter and continuing on with my Crest 3D toothpaste. As well in 3 months I will use the strips again and I am sure my teeth will only continue to get whiter!
There is a small downfall to the strips but not everyone will experience this of course as I have friends in the review who didn't. After taking the strips off (it's been about 3 hours off now) I am having slight-medium sensitivity! Especially while eating or drinking I get that ZING! every now and then but the pamphlet says it's normal for some to experience this and that it will go away and is not harmful so I am sure it is just temporary.
All in all these strips get 10 fingers up from me and I am sure once my better half sees my new pearly whites he will add another 10 fingers up!
I suggest anyone who wants a quick white fix on their teeth to head out and pick up a box once every 3 months for 2 hours beats the daily strips any day!
Okay a tiny update I am about 7 hours post strips and I must say the sensitivity has gotten worse I some what want to rip my teeth out of my mouth ... ok its not THAT bad but I have taken an IB profen and it isn't really helping. It is quite annoying and I am not sure what to do to get it to stop lol! It is sensitive even though I am not eating or drinking anything. Even though I truly enjoy the results the after effects for me personally are out weighing the results. I would rather have less than white teeth I know beauty is pain but I am a baby :P
