Listerine Whitening Strips Aren't What They Claim By AmyBrantley on - Updated Sep 18, 2011
I was given the chance to try Listerine Whitening Quick Dissolving Strips for free. I was excited about this product because it was so easy to use. Just apply the strips to your teeth and they dissolve easily. This is what the people at Listerine want you to believe. I, on the other hand, did not have these results.
I applied the strips, which was easy enough, but I immediately noticed a bad taste. The taste was simply horrible. I kept the strips on though, thinking of how much better my teeth would look. Unfortunately, there were more problems.
These strips do not dissolve the way the commercial describes. In fact, while some of the strips dissolved, I was left with big hunks of the product still on my teeth. It was a nasty feeling, especially when combined with the taste.
Still I continued to use the product. But, I stopped immediately after I noticed that my teeth were not whitening evenly. The spots where the product took longer to dissolve were much whiter. My teeth looked horrible. Another bad side effect was the pain in my teeth. This product made my teeth sensitive to the point that they hurt for a few hours after using the product.
I highly suggest you stay away from this product. There are much better products available for whitening your teeth.

Good information to know! I was wondering about these.
I think you were right to stop using these if they made your teeth hurt and I would be worried about having them dissolve in my mouth.
I also tried these, I thought they were terrible.
I alway wondered if hey actually dissolved like they said htey did.
Thanks for the info. I wondered if they dissolved as easily as they claimed. Too bad!
Will definitely steer clear of this one!
That's pretty yucky if they don't dissolve properly!
I don't think I would be able to get past the bad taste to use these!
I have also tried these and had trouble with them NOT disolving and having hunks of strip literally stuck on my teeth so that I had to scrub it off vigorously with my toothbrush - that was the only way my teeth got any whiter!
It's good that you stopped using it before it really damage your teeth. Thanks for a very good and honest review.
