Listerine Instant Dissolving Whitening Strips Clean Mint 56 Each Review

I was looking for something easy to use to whiten my teeth, but better than all of the usual whitening toothpastes. This led me to Listerine Instant Dissolving Whitening Strips.

These are self-adhering strips that are both a little tricky to open and position correctly. At first, once I got the tiny foil packet opened, I wasn't even sure there was anything in side of it. When I initially peeled it off I accidentally got some moisture on it. I fumbled around and eventually had to discard that one. They are easily rendered useless.

Once I figured out how to correctly open the package and remove the strip, I found positioning correctly a little tricky. The instructions show which way a notch in the product needs to go for upper and lower. Don't mess that up because then they will be on your teeth the wrong way, the whitener is only on one side.

Be careful to initially place it low enough on your gum-line to cover all of your tooth surface. There's no repositioning these, once placed, if placed incorrectly, they're useless goo. Be aware that these are not long enough to reach from left back molar to right back molar; you're only whitening your foremost teeth. If you want to whiten all your teeth you're going to need to use 4 strips. 

I was overall satisfied with the product. Once I got them on right, folded the excess back and let them do their magic, I noticed my teeth were whiter with a single use. I did have to brush the excess off from my gumline and between teeth. I also experienced extreme sensitivity the next day. I have no problem if I use them on alternating days.
