Anyone ever used these? (For those who haven't heard of them, they are thin strips with a gel containing, among other things, hydrogen peroxide, meant to whiten teeth).
I bought some the other day to see what they were like after hearing a friend mention them, and they are a ***** to use. They advertise them as something you can use at home, at the office or on the go - you need only apply them twice a day, for 30 minutes at a time. For some reason, I don't imagine many people going into public while wearing these things.
First off, they are a devil to put on. I find it best to dry the teeth first, apply the upper strip first, and then the lower. After that, don't plan on talking or doing much besides sitting, trying not to spit or move your tongue for 30 minutes. Just let the drool collect. On the plus side, I am seeing improvements after only the second day - although you will only see improvements on the first six or so teeth (the strips do not go all the way back).
