It seems these strips are being discontinued. Too bad because they are the best I've used. Not messy like the other brand. Fresher, cleaner feeling after use than the other brand. They dissolve in place and don't slip around and require repositioning like the other major brand.

I don't know if this box was sit in the sun or what...I had to go thru 4 strips to get a usable ONE. It meled and embedded to the packaging..I never had this problem before when I buy it from CVS...My store was out of it..why I bought this from online.

I was looking for a way to whiten my teeth and was willing to spend a bit but these are relatively inexpensive. The directions tell you to whiten two times daily until all of the strips run out. I'll start by saying they are relatively easy to put on (as long as you don't put the wrong side against your teeth, then you have to throw the strip out because it gets all sticky). Now I don't have sensitive gums, I don't have a problem with food or hot or cold bothering my teeth. But I never got through an entire week of wearing these (you're supposed to wear them for two). Probably around day 4 or 5 when I put the strips on my gums were on fire. After you put the strip on and it gets a little wet you can scrape it off of your gums so it's just touching your teeth, but this didn't seem to help. I've tried finishing the box several times since I started, but still never able to get through all of the strips. All in all I think they are cheap and easy to use, but they burn like hell.

This was the first whitening product that I didn't have to quit using due to sensitivity issues. It has whitened my teeth and I am happy with the results. Yes, it does irritate gums but it also says not to put them on your gums. It doesn't take long to be careful and put the strips where they need to go. I am happy with this product and will buy it again.

I bought these white strips in order to brighten up my smile. My teeth are getting whiter with use (been using for a week about now) as the product promises, but there are a few problems that make these white strips a pain to deal with at times.

When first using the product, I found it difficult to put on the strips exactly where they needed to go, especially on my bottom row of teeth. If I did end up applying the strips wrong it was a pain to try and get them off of the teeth and try again with a different strip.

The times I did get the strips on in the right place, I had very bad gum pain and irritation. It was a burning sensation wherever a significant portion of the strip met my gums. This sensation only got worse with more use and caused me to ultimately stop using the product completely. My gums were also weaken by the product and, with the most gentle of brushing, my gums would bleed. I know this gum sensitivity was caused by the product because after ceasing use of the strips, my gums returned to normal health fairly quickly.

If you do happen to not experience the horrible pain and irritation of the gums the strips can cause, I would recommend spitting out the by-product made by the strips. Although you can swallow them, it irritated my throat. The by-product is also very messy and it is probobly better to brush your teeth after the strips dissolve. This does not make the strips good to use on-the-go, unlike the package states.

The one good thing about this product is that I did notice whiter teeth after use for about a week. However, I stopped using the product because of all the problems it caused. My recommendation would be to not buy this product and either try another do-it-yourself teeth whitening product or see your dentist and get your teeth whitened professionally. It may cost more, but I'm sure it will be less of a pain that these strips were for me.
