I've used these multiple times and each time I get teeth sensitivity. I usually use the half hour ones and I've taken to using them for only 20 minutes in the evening so the worst of the teeth sensitivity occurs while I'm sleeping, as it can sometimes be unbearable when awake. I don't normally have sensitive teeth at all, only when I use these strips. Good for a quick whitening though, I do notice a difference after one use.

Tips: If you have any sensitivity, use an enamel repair mouthwash like ACT to help rebuild enamel, and don't use the strips for the full recommended time. Also, if you use before bed you'll sleep through the worst of the sensitivity.
I bought the white stips on eBay after seeing reviews raving about how much whiter your teeth get.
I can agree that my teeth were noticeably whiter after 1 application. I did notice at first it was patchy, some parts of my teeth whiter than other parts. I would suggest applying a strip a night before an event rather than the day of an event.
I did however, like most, find that my teeth were sensitive for a day or 2 after applying a whitening strip. I just used Sensodine tooth paste and my teeth were fine.
If you have sensitive teeth I would steer clear of Crest 3d Vivid White Strips.
I don't think I'll be buying again in fear that my teeth will get more and more damaged and sensitive.
Tips: Use Sensodine after application
I went through a box of these and after doing so, my teeth are so much whiter, I drink a lot of coffee so if my whitening toothpaste starts failing me I will use these strips again for touch ups! I did have some sensitivity though in my bottom teeth, while the strip was on I had quite a bit of pain. Top teeth were fine though
A whiter smile can make a huge difference to someones appearance, and as someone with naturally yellowing teeth and daily coffee intake, I was already ordering these online whilst still reading the reviews. The product is packaged into separate pouches for each use, with two clear, thin, plastic strips. These are applied to the top and bottom rows of teeth, making sure to avoid the gums, tuck the extra plastic under the teeth and press firmly into the 'cracks' between teeth. They are then worn for 30 minutes. I found that I did need to get my mouth open and lips pulled back as increased saliva makes the strips slip. The first thing I noticed was the taste. The do have a slightly icky, chemical taste so I will now have a mint in my mouth whilst I use them to combat this.
The Crest 3D Vivid White Strips certainly do provide whiter teeth. I personally didn't experience any patchiness. I noticed a significant difference after 3 uses, and did 6 sessions in my first month of uses them. By this point I had begun to have some sensitivity and had achieved much whiter teeth so I stopped using them.
Nine months later my teeth were beginning to become discolored so I repurchased the whitening strips. This time I had sensitivity on the first use, so I only used them for 15 minutes, and then another 15 minutes a week later. This was enough to touch up my teeth. I had tried the '5 minute touch up' Crest strips however these wouldn't stay on my teeth as the plastic is too thin.
The Crest Whitening strips provide an easy and affordable solution to whiter teeth, however I would not recommend these to anyone with any previous history of sensitive teeth.
Tips: Place a mint in your mouth during use to prevent the chemical taste.
I came across these in the local pharmacy when living in Hong Kong. I've never tried any teeth whitening products before, and being a coffee addict and (ex) smoker I was keen to try these out. The simplicity of the product is what was most appealing to me (no mucking around with gels and moulds).
There are 2 clear strips per single use; a longer one for the top row of teeth, and a slightly shorter one for the bottom row of teeth. Application is really easy, you simply just peel the strips off and stick them on to your teeth. (I pressed the strip down over one tooth at a time to make sure that the front surface was covered properly and evenly). There is a bit of overhang, but just tuck this under the back side of your teeth.
They do stay on and in place until you peel them off after the 30min processing time. The product on the strips foams up a bit while you have them on. The taste isn't the nicest, but I didn't find it overly strong or unpleasant. I only noticed 'shocks' of pain while wearing the strips - I didn't have any lingering sensitivity at any other time. I used these every evening, after brushing my teeth just before bed. I had noticeable results after about a week, and after completing the full course exactly as advised, my teeth were most definitely white! I couldn't believe the difference when I saw photographs of me smiling.
It's been about a year since I did that first treatment, and I'm really glad that you can purchase these here in NZ (even though they are more than twice the price!), as it's time for a touch up.
Tips: Press the strip down over one tooth at a time, making sure you press it over the entire curve of the surface and into the gaps between each tooth. Use in conjunction with a whitening toothpaste. I used the Crest 3D Whitening paste at the same time.
I liked that these were easy to use and saw results quite fast. I found that they worked reasonably well for a short period of time but their effects soon wore off. I noticed my teeth were also feeling a lot more sensitive than normal.
My friend highly recommended this product and I saw that it was really effective on her. She gave me some of her strips and I was really excited to try it! She said she noticed the difference just after use, which made me more excited to try it. And I have never been so disappointed after trying this. I left it on my teeth for 10 minutes and my teeth and gums started to feel weird, like they are dissolving and I was feeling uncomfortable, and felt like it was stinging or hurting my mouth, I quickly took it off and notice my teeth was having some marks on it and it wasn't pearly white at all! I hate this product, it almost ruined my teeth even more.
I can't recommend this product enough! If you don't mind a little sensitivity after 3 uses then you will love this! I was very sceptical at first but I gave it a go anyway and wow after day 3 I could already see a huge difference! I am a coffee addict so my teeth are badly stained! After using this I just couldn't believe how much whiter my teeth are! 14 Days is enough to get the best results! After that once every 2 weeks is ok to maintain the whiteness.
Tips: If you are feeling sensitivity use a toothpaste for sensitive teeth.
I love these whitening strips, I saw results very quickly. These are defiantly the best whitening strips I have ever used. They are very easy to use,
I have always used Crest Whitestrips, and I have never had any problems before. When using the 3D strips, I expected the same outcome. I followed all instructions to a T-yet after taking the strips off, my gums began peeling. Super painful, super disappointing!
