LOL I have used those too and while they do work, they made my teeth SUPER sensitive... it was temporary, but it was bothering me so much, I couldn't finish the package.

Yep, Crest Professional White Strips--the ones from the dentist. They're the only thing I've found that worked. That gel stuff you get at Rite Aid didn't do anything.

Best would be to go to your dentist and have him/her make you molds and give you a take home kit.
I did this and in two weeks, my teeth were significantly whiter and it lasts for two-three years. At that point, unless you've had MAJOR work done on your teeth, all you'd have to do it purchase another whitening kit if you decided to want to bleach again.
The trays and kit cost me $225. A replacement bleach kit costs $35.
If you think about how much you'd spend on over the counter things in the span of 2-3 years, this is TOTALLY worth it and there is NO gum irritation.
Just my two cents.

im using the whitestrips right now (whitestrips premium to be exact) and i have to do it every other day or so, because it ends up irritating my sensitive teethers. but i know it works, my best friend uses them and her teeth are so freaking white
if you have the money to do BriteSmile or go to the dentist, i'd do it, but i know most people can't spend that much. or maybe its just me that cant ahaha.

as far as the brands you can get from like walmart, the crest white strips are AWESOME. they taste nasty, yes, theyre uncomfortable, yes, and it does tingle pretty strongly, but if youre faithful and use it properly it WILL work magnificently. i used the premium and u put them on in the morning and at night. kind of a pain but it IS worth it, i promise. definitely worth a shot!

I Rembrandt 2 hour white. I prefer kits w/ trays becaus the strips seem to slideoff.

Chrest Whitening strips. They're not that nasty and I experienced sensitivity the first two days but got used to it.

how is this for sensitive teeth? I'm thinking about doing this, but my teeth are super-sensitive and I'd like to hear from someone who's actually used it, not just my dentist. TIA!

The Crest Whitestrips Premium didn't do anything for me. I should have gotten my money back.

I just finished my third day using Whitestrips Premium Plus (the 10 day kit) and my teeth are seriously hurting .. that's why I'm awake in fact! I'm salivating quite a bit too. I think I might have to take a break tomorrow! On the plus side, I can already tell that my teeth are whiter and my boyfriend noticed and asked me about it today. I hadn't told him I was using the strips so the fact that he noticed is incredible haha
