Crest 3D Whitestrips 2 Hour Express

YOU GUYS ARE ALL PUSSIES AND NEED TO STFU. theses work great and there painless

Recommended by lexi

Oh, the agony! I did not brush my teeth before I applied the strips as directed. I left them on for exactly 2 hours and felt one momentary shooting pain while the strips were on. A few hours after removing them however, my teeth began to ache and I have never had sensitivity in my teeth before using this product. After enduring 10 hours of aching, sore teeth, I made myself a vodka and 7-up hoping to dull the pain. I've had two now and I feel somewhat better even though my teeth still hurt!!! The worst part of all of this is I do not notice that they whitened my teeth at all. I guess you could say I'm a little down in the mouth......

Very minimal whitening noted. some sensitivity though.

I used one application of the 2 hour express strips after being a long-time user of the normal Crest white strips. Although being slightly inconvenient due to having to wait for a day when I had 2 hours to spend doing nothing really, I finally got to use them and experienced no pain problems. They did work wonderfully- I have very white teeth to begin with and I even noticed a difference. As one other review stated, occasionally a sharp pain in one tooth that hurts a bit, but is not the least bit unbearable and lasts about 5 seconds. No pain afterwards, I always rinse my mouth to get the residue off my teeth though. I would definitely recommend these to anyone!

I bought these with low expectations, but decided to give them a try anyways. I had them on for exactly two hours. They weren't painful while they were on, just annoying. The results were pretty good, a noticeable difference. My teeth looked even better the next day. I had no pain after they were off what so ever, and I have fairly sensitive teethgjk. Overall pretty satisfied and will do another treatment in 3 months.

Horrible product! I am in so much pain and I can't sleep now. I was fine until about 4 hours after I took the strips off. Now I can barely breath let alone have a drink of water without wanting to cry!

I used 2 Hour Express Whitening strips last night and while I had them in there wasnt any pain and seemed rather easy to use. I was excited to see the results because I had never had much luck with the ones you had to use for 30 mins for 7 days. After taking the strips off I could instantly see the results and other the little bit of goo left on my teeth which I just rinsed off with a little bit of water I was still impressed with the results. I didnt feel any pain til I woke up this morning and I have to say I am not enjoying the constant pain Im feeling. I am going to try and take some pain meds and hope that works. Still not sure if I want to deal with this kind of pain if I decide to do it again. I have a high tolerance for pain but this is annoying and in my opinion ridiculous, even though I am still impressed with the results.

Yea so i had these strips on from 140pm to 340pm and i was impressed with my smile.
when i was wearing them i felt fine, however, when i took the strips off there was a thick "goo" on my teeth but after a while it wore away.
i took a mid after-noon name and woke up to slight aching in my teeth, i brushed them with sensodine or and it seemed to make the pain tolerable.
my not so intelligent friend who "borrowed" these from wal mart used like three sets in 36 hours and as far as i know she is going through some pain, i dont believe in karma but i though i would try to find reviews to make sure it wasnt just us.
but the sensodine worked pretty well so try that if you have some.
i also have a piece of stride 2.0 sugerfree gum in my mouth and it helps get my mind off the slight ache.
if anyone has fully gotten over the pain lemme know how long that took.
hope this helps

Questions, i had them on for about 30 mins, and they hurt so i took them off, will this effect me??

Not Recommended by Shelby

Worst pain I have ever felt. Did not hurt at all while I had them on, took them off after exactly 2hrs and 10 minutes later the pain was so bad I was doubling over in Target thinking I was going to throw up. Do not buy!! I wish I would've read reviews before I did..8hrs later I'm still in pain, listerine total care mouth wash does make is better, but its still hurts so bad. I've taken a ton of ibprofen I'm hoping it will subside very soon.

Crest White Strips 2 hour work ok....but hurt your teeth the next day. I used them as directed and the next day my teeth were sore. My husband used them also and he has really sensitive teeth. He had to take them off early b/c there were 'shocking' pains going through his teeth.
All in all i would NOT try them again and i do not plan on using the rest of the supply.

Recommended by Krista

Most of these reviews to me seem ridiculous. The most pain I had ever from using these was some gum pain while using them. I had one instance of a "sharp" pain go through my tooth that caught me off guard like someone else had said, but that was it. This isn't "the worst pain of my life" or the "worst product ever." People who are saying that I imagine have the pain tolerance of a baby. I would say there are many things more painful than the crest whitestrips. I'll even provide a few examples of these things: Mosquito bites are more painful. Black flies can inflict more damage. Stubbing your toe probably hurts more and lasts longer. This one time I accidentally bit my own lip. If you can deal with ANY pain whatesoever, then don't even worry about these strips.

Recommended by Dan

I have had the strips on for about an hour now. Right Now I feel No Pain... But after reading all of your reviews, I have to admit I am not looking forward to the pain everyone is talking about. LOL. We will see what happens.

Hi Everyone,

So, I was just on the phone with my Mom nervously telling her about the amount of pain I am in after trying these Crest two hour white strips for the first time. I happen to google the product and just read all of these reviews. I am having the most horrible sharp pains in my teeth that come out of nowhere and take my breath away. It's awful. I'm not sure what to do about this, but I am headed out to buy total care mouth wash to see if that will help and minimize this aching, shooting pain I am having in my teeth. I would NOT recommend this product to anyway. It's simply not worth the suffering. Crest, I suggest you do something to change this product. Look at these negative reviews you are getting. It's time for an improvement.
Pain Pain go away come again...never!

DO NOT USE THESE. The pain didn't start until about three hours after i took off the strips. The pain is so annoying and painful the only thing I can relate it to is nails on a chalkboard constantly....I will not being sleeping tonight.

Product works really well at whitening and brightening teeth. My results were very noticible. THEN..... came the pain!! About 6 hours after I used them little shots of pain started, turned into constant ache and now I'm sitting with my lips pressed shut because even air hitting my teeth brings is God awful pain! I'm very vein about my teeth and I don't think I can use the other three packets over the year-I seriously can't fathom doing this to myself ever again. I'm not even going to give the rest away-I don't wish this pain on anyone! I'm going to do the return process tomorrow morning. I've been googling for an hour how to get rid of this pain that is getting worse and worse and have found nothing. I need a sleeping pill to make it through the night because pain pills sure didn't do anything!

Recommended by amy

Worked, but not worth the intense pain. I've taken every OTC pain pill and nothing works. Strips did whiten, and pain did not start until hours after I took them off. I would not recommend these to anyone due to pain.

Recommended by Holli

I can attest to the fact that these things hurt like FUCKING HELL!

BUT!...

After trying Aleve, I turned to Listerine Total Care, and I immidietly yelled "THANK GOD!!" it got rid of most of the pain instantly, until it was a dull ache, nothing to cry over. I continued to swish it regularly for about 1 hour and now my teeth are perfectly fine! I can even eat!!!

I would buy the product again, because they DID whiten, and well, with photo shoots, I need a good smile!

MY TEETH HURT!!!!! I put the 2 hour whitening strips on for exactly 2 hours. Ive had them off for 3 hours and my teeth hurt so bad. While the strips were on I felt one sharp pain jump through one tooth. It caught me so off guard I dropped the drink in my hand. Now they are off and I regret this all the way! Yes my teeth appear to be whiter...or maybe just shinnier (we will see) but, the pain is so not worth it. I cant sleep at this point. UGH

Not Recommended by leslie

WOW--I have a high pain tolerance; however, these strips cause a TON of sensitivity! I used them yesterday afternoon and was in pain last night. I woke up this morning STILL in pain. I must admit, though, that my teeth definitely look whiter! Although, I'm not sure if the after-effects are worth it!

Recommended by Richard

Not worth the pain at all..... I never Fred whiting strips before but I thought about giving this a shot.... Never again.... I am returning the product first thing tomorrow and sticking with the old fashioned toothbrush and toothpaste method...

I bought this product 4 months ago. I did the first whitening before going on vacation. I had no pain at all, but i followed the instructions exactly. And i have sensitive teeth to begin with so I was worried. But no pain. I had very mild teeth whitening results. It was noticeable but barely. A few weeks ago I did the second application, turned out same as the first, very mild results and no pain or discomfort. I left them on the full 2 hours, had planned to remove them early the first time due to reviews about pain, but actually got busy and had them on just over two hours. Second time I had them on exactly 2 hours. They don't work that great as far as results go, but they were easy to use and pain free for me. I did not brush or dry my teeth before applying, and I made sure I did not get it over the gum line. Ok product if you don't mind mild results.

WOST PRODUCT I EVER USED!
Worst pain i ever experienced, sharp, shooting pains that will not go away at all. Took one of my vicodins and no relief i feel like going to the hospital. No results

Hardly any whitening results. While I had them on there was random shooting pain in one tooth at a time.. Excruciating pain. It's been 7 hours since I took them off and I've been feeling shooting pain off and on all day. So ready for it to stop. I will be returning the product. Not any where near worth it or satisfactory.

I was very excited to try this product because one of my friends recommended this product to me and said it had great results. I put them on at night and after the first 30 mins I started getting sharp pains in my teeth. I ignored the pain because my friend had told me there is a slight discomfort with this product but nothing to painful. I took the product off after the 2hrs and brushed my teeth and they were a little sensitive. An hour after I took the strips off I started feeling an excruciating pain in my teeth. The whole night I was having trouble sleeping because of the pain. It is nearly 10hrs later and my teeth still hurt. I do not recommend this product! My teeth looked whiter after using the crest 3D tooth paste than with this product and to top it off I've been crying off and on because of the horrible pain in my teeth. NEVER AGAIN!

What a complete waste of money and 2 hours of my life! Do not buy this product people. I thought it was too good to be true and I was right, this product does not work at all not even a little bit. I saw no change in my teeth color. What a big disappointment:( Even after reading about the excruciating pain that many people had to go through because of this, I took a chance even though it kind of freaked me out a little. I was definately scared but when I did it, it wasn't all that bad like many people had made it out to be. It definately hurted a little here and there. Felt like a sharp painful tingling around the gums but everybody reacts differently, that's just what I experienced. You may or may not feel that much pain depending on how sensitive your teeths are but I can guarantee you it's nothing pleasant. You'll definately experience some sort of pain when using this product. I wouldn't recommend it especially if you have very sensitive teeth because it's not worth the pain. It doesn't work!

I have used Crest Whitestrips in the past, but yesterday afternoon, I purchased and applied the 2 Hour Express strips. My teeth looked somewhat more white after removing the strips, and I felt moderately satisfied. However, a few hours later, I experienced the worst pain that I have possibly EVER felt. My mouth was in such EXCRUCIATING pain (and still is...) that I did not sleep a minute last night!! The pain I experienced from these strips was SO NOT WORTH the time or money. I plan to return my remaining three treatments and get my money back. I would not ever recommend this product to someone. Ever.

I am in so much pain pulling all my teeth put seems to be an excellent option at this point. the pain started about 4 hours after I removed the strips and it has not let up hours later. the simple task of breathing is so painful because every time air hits my teeth I feel like my headbis going to explode. eating and drinking are completely out of the question. oh and btw my teeth are the exact same color.

HOLY PAIN!!!!!!!!!!!! I never write reviews but buyers beware. Its been 16 sleepless hours since using these torturuous strips and the pain is still intense. Called my doctor to see if anything could be done and was told to just wait it out. NEVER AGAIN. Save your money and have your dentist do it. This is one heck of a price to pay for vanity.

Holy mother fing goodness gracious- I am trying to refrain from using cure words, but holy shit the aftermath of these strips is PAINFUL!!!!! I took a percocet pain pill- and the pain is as strong as ever- I am sure that I will not be able to sleep tonight.

This product may not have the same affect on others, but I strongly recommend never finding out if you do- the potential pain you could be in is insanity!!!!!!! I am right there with the guy who said he wants to smash his head through a window, and the woman who wants to go to the hospital to be sedated!

Yes my teeth are whiter, but it is NOT worth the pain I am in- NEVER EVER again will I use this. I prefer yellow teeth thank you very much!

OMG I am going to pass out from this pain!

I don't typically write reviews on products. But, after reading these posts I decided to. I purchased these strips because like many people, I wanted instant gratification. My teeth are already white but I wanted to brighten them. So . . . I put the whitestrips on at 7:30pm yesterday. I started wondering if they would actually work well. I decided to read some reviews and found these. I was horrified by what I was reading and seriously considered taking them off only 5 minutes in. I opted to leave them on. At the one hour mark I was waiting for pain of some sort (based on what I read). None to speak of...so at 9:30pm I took them off. I experienced NO PAIN. My teeth were absolutely brighter and whiter (no spots). I went to bed around 11pm still no pain. I woke up this morning perfectly fine. I had a frozen banana with breakfast and had no sensitivity or pain. I would highly recommend this product and I will use it again.

I applied the 3d crest whitening strips 2 hour express at 11pm and actually fell asleep with them in, I took them off 5 hours later and I noticed a difference in my teeth immediately. I was very surprised but very pleased as well. They did not make my teeth hurt afterwards at all, there was a little tingling when I first put them on but it was not painful. They went in easily and stayed in place which is what I liked the best. I was very satisfied with this product, but I will warn that you must place thr strips exactly where you want them because they will not move once you put them on your teeth, until you want to take them off.

Horrible product! I tried these because I'm getting married in a few months... bad idea... I was in the worst pain I've been in for a long time... I had the strips in for the full 2 hours and the pain didn't go away for nearly two days. I would never recommend this product to anyone.

There was only a little pain while the strips were actaully off but oh wait, IT COMES LATER!
i'm up right now and i cant even sleep, my teeth hurt so bad. im hoping this goes away very soon because i cant even talk. never before have my teeth hurt this bad.
and after the 2 hours, my teeth were not whiter.
this is by far....a horrible product.

I've had sensitivity to whitening products before, so I expected some moderate discomfort from this 2 hour version. As I just had a "mommy makeover" lipsuction/ tummy tuck, I thought it would be a good time to put my percocet to good use. A little prescription should help with a lot of pain, right?
OUCH. The strips were very easy to put on, they stayed on nicely. There was no pain while they were attached. They were difficult but not impossible to remove. And then, the pain begins.
My teeth are definitely whiter. But there is not enough percocet in the world to counter the pain involved- I haven't been able to eat or drink for hours now. And I just had maor plastic surgery, for goodness sakes!
I'm hoping this pain is gone by tomorrow. The rest of the whitening packet sure will be.

Recommended by Beth

I applied the 3d white strips before i read any of the reviews on here. About an hour after I had them on i found this webpage. After reading these reviews i was expecting for no results and to be in a lot of pain. The people on here must have left the gel on their teeth and not brushed after taking out the white strips because there is no pain at all and I have noticeably whiter teeth than i had yesterday. Of course it does make your teeth a little more sensitive but that is nothing to wine about.

Recommended by Chael

I tried these last night right before I went to bed so that I could actually fall asleep without being in pain (based on what I read here). I actually didn't wake up at all during the night, but when I did wake up this morning my teeth were a little sore. After I got up and started moving around my whole mouth began to ache. It has gotten better as the day goes on, and I personally don't think it's nearly as bad as some people are writing on here, but there definitely is some pain.

I did notice some positive results though. Would I do it again? Yes. One or two days of bearable pain is worth having whiter teeth, especially considering the relatively cheap cost of this product (compared to professional whitening).

I never review product myself but I must say I was looking forward to trying this product as I have just gotten my braces off. About an hour in, I got a sharp pain in my teeth but decided to go through the rest of the time. It's been about 5 minutes with them off and I am getting sharp pains. I hope they do not last long. Results were minimal as well. I will not be using this again.

Recommended by anonymous

Well, I just got these today. I have had successful results with advanced vivid white strips and haven't taken them in a few months. Saw this on tv and figured I give it a try. Well during the 2 hr and 4 minutes. I felt no pain. Right afterwards, OMG. it hurts so bad. Spontaneous bolts of pain on the front teeth. What's worse is, there is NOO beauty for the sacrifice. I have a few white spots on the edges of my teeth but that's all. Not really noticeable but defiantly not worth it. Worst Whitening strips at all.

I recently bought this product and I have to say It was a big let down!

I used the product and I did not see any noticeable change in whiteness/brightness!

I take great care of my teeth, but I am a heavy tea/coffee drinker and so my teeth can get a little dull at times. Usually I use the normal Professional Effects from crest regularly, but decided to give these a try for once. It sounded appealing to only wear them for 2 hours once every 3 months. But just as it sounded too good to be true, it was.

I experienced very slight if any discomfort while wearing them, and aside from having a little trouble peeling them off, the application and removal went fine. However there was barely a change in color or brightness!

Several hours later there was some slight sensitivity, but nothing that was truly painful and disrupting of my normal activities, and it was gone the next morning.

I'll be sending in my receipt and box for a refund, as the product was not the least bit satisfying.

To stack it up, here is the good and bad.
Pros:Thicker gel and plastic allowed the strips to stay tightly to the teeth.
Cons:Very minimal whitening effect, caused slight sensitivity, waste of money.

In my opinion, you are much better off waiting 3 days for results using the normal professional effects, and they are far less likely to cause sensitivity. With this product you are paying just as much for barely, if any, results. I did not buy it expecting radiant pearly whites, but I had hoped to see at least some improvement. This of course was not the case.

They work pretty well but my teeth are hurting really bad right now. They didn't hurt when i first used them but the second time (3 months later) is not feeling very great. I'm trying not to think about it so they don't hurt worse but eating and drinking are painful tasks. Will not use them again. Hope the pain ends soon.
