I've seen mixed reviews of tooth whitening systems, but the price of this item made it easy for me to try (some systems are $100).
The first time was the hardest as I found myself drooling and had a hard time keeping the strips in for 30 minutes.
So, I started inserting the strips separately-- the upper strip for 30 min. then the lower strip for 30 min. The drooling improved considerably, and after a couple of days I was able to do both strips at once.
My teeth were noticeably whiter after 3 days, just as advertised, and I'm very very pleased with the results. |
It works!

I was skeptical about the product and went ahead and bought it. The first day was difficult, as I found myself drooling quite a bit. So, I started wearing the top and bottom strips separately, and that fixed the drooling problem. After a few days I was used to the strips and it was a very smooth process. I'm very pleased with the results.
In addition, the seller upgraded me with no additional cost. I chose to purchase strips that were about to expire, and when they arrived, I saw that the seller had sent me strips which had not yet expired.
All in all, I'm very satisfied with the product and with the seller. |

I have no idea what this product works like since I've never recieved it. And JFC has done nothing about it. When I called them they answered the phone "hello" as if I were calling a residence. Then he told me the tracking status was incorrect. So, I posted a grade on JFC service, they responded with an absolute lie, claiming that the tracking status shows delivered. It clearly states "Status: In transit." I suggest only buying things that are sold directly by amazon.

If you're 60, nobody is going to mistake you for 40....but not bad!

I'm an ex-dental hygienist who delved into the depths of people's mouths for about 20 years, so healthy teeth mean a lot to me--especially my own. When the in-office dental bleaching first came around, I wasn't interested in trying it because, at that time, I felt I really didn't need it. The cost to patients then was close to $500. Ten years later and no longer practicing dental hygiene, I was ready to try some of the home products that were on the market. I regularly used, and continue to use, a whitening toothpaste (which basically just removes superficial surface stains from coffee, etc.) Then I tried the Night Effects "paint on" liquid. Besides being gooey and sort of a pain to use (not to mention looking like Cletus the Slack Jawed Yokel when I went to bed--not an attractive look, ladies) I really didn't see a noticeable whitening. It's been a couple of years since that attempt, so I was ready to try this product. But I have to tell you that I found it for about half the going price from a seller on that well-known online auction site (which shall remain nameless, but you know the one.) You can also go on the Crest website right now (May 2006) and get a coupon for $7.00 off if you want to buy it at a drugstore or supermarket.
I found these strips easy to apply, but someone with large hands or not a lot of dexterity might have a bit of difficulty. That could be overcome with a little practice. They do "stick" quite well to your teeth, but you can also maneuver them around easily if you need to reposition them during the treatment. I haven't experienced much sensitivity after using them, and I do back-to-back treatments, which is okay if you don't want to space them out over the course of the day. You can even skip a day if your teeth are especially sensitive. I did the upper strips alone first; that way you can lighten the lowers gradually to match the upper better. Most people aren't as concerned about the whiteness of their lower teeth because the uppers are more visible when smiling. I don't think you'll get "blue-white" teeth like Ed McMahon, but who wants that anyway? Especially if you're over 50, because let's face facts--there are a lot of other things that give away your age faster than less-than-white teeth! (Now if they came out with Age Defying Face Strips--the face lift in a box--I'll take one!) Seriously, the Renewal Whitestrips did lighten up my teeth quite nicely and got rid of the grayish look they had taken on over the years and also some yellowish areas where the enamel had become thinned. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the product and would use them again when my teeth, inevitably, begin to look dull. (Oh, and I'm going to turn 60 next year, so I guess I can be an official "baby boomer" spokesperson for this product!) |
Seeing results after only 3 days!!!

Well, I won't reveal my age here, and I don't know if my teeth were yellowed enough to NEED 20 years taken off them, but I will say I - and others around me - am seeing results after only 3 days with this system.
I received a free sample package through BzzAgent, a company that creates "buzz" about products through word of mouth. However, I am a natural skeptic... I guess I believed these products were just out there to prey on vulnerable smokers who are self-conscious from all us non-smokers picking on them.
As a non-smoker who nevertheless loves dark-coloured drinks (coke, root beer, tea, coffee), I've never used any kind of whitening product, except toothpastes which didn't work.
From the Crest Whitestrips commercials, I thought the strips would be something almost invisible that you could wear while at work, on the subway or wherever. Not quite!
For what it's worth, they sort of look and feel like bandaids on your teeth; slippery bandaids that wiggle around if you try to do anything more stressful than write Amazon reviews. :-)
BUT let's put this into perspective: you use them twice a day (1/2 hr each time) for ten days and you're DONE for a good long while (how long depends on your personal eating/drinking/smoking habits). You can even use one strip for 1/2 an hour, then start your second strip right away afterwards... to get it all over with even faster.
The first evening I tried Whitestrips Renewal, I put them in to watch TV, and I don't think I had them in quite right because they kept slipping around. Also, I didn't rinse my fingers and the peroxide made my fingertips turn white and sting. However, a quick rinse took care of that. DO NOT get this stuff in your eyes, on your clothing or any other delicate surface. It's powerful stuff!
Anyway, I was cursing the strips until I realized that I would just have to not speak for half an hour while I had them in. Maybe other people can manage it, but talking doesn't work for me with the strips in. Since then, it's been a breeze each time.
SO... I guess the caveats are that you should set aside time to do this, during TV-watching or web-surfing downtime (as a bonus, you may lose weight from not snacking for that half-hour!), and not expect to be out doing errands with the strips on like the people in commercials seem to be able to do.
Anyway, if you want to turn back the clock by a few years and turn up the compliments, the Whitestrips Renewal system seems like a great way to go - at a fraction of the cost of professional dental whitening! |
