As a beauty editor, I’ve tried various teeth whitening strips, LED kits and mouthwashes over the years. To be honest, I’ve always preferred the former—they’re simple, require fewer bells and whistles, and have been the most effective of all the options for me. But that doesn’t mean they don’t come with a major downside: whitening strips can be irritating to sensitive teeth.
As someone with the above concern, finding whitening strips that don’t feel like a toothache (if you know, you know) hasn’t exactly been easy. But then I gave the Zimba Teeth Whitening Strips an extensive run over a two-month trial period—and let me tell you, these are some serious game-changers.
The vegan, enamel-safe strips claim professional-level results in just 30 minutes (I’ve never had my teeth professionally whitened, so I can’t speak for that), with more visible results, meaning whiter and whiter teeth . they pop up the more you use them (this, I can confirm, is true.) They also come in a variety of flavors, including watermelon, peach, coconut, and mint, my personal favorite.
Since they feature an advanced grip design, they stay put throughout use, no matter how much drool accumulates in your mouth (gross, but useful). , requiring me to constantly reposition them.
What initially attracted me to giving the strips a go was the high volume of buyers who gave the product a five star rating. Over 8,500 people saw results from using it and that made the chances of me seeing results quite high.
As one reviewer wrote, “These movies really work. I’ve tried all kinds of different brands in the past, and most of them are both expensive and disappointing. They usually do not adhere to the teeth or simply do not leave permanent or highly visible results. If you’re like me and don’t want to pay hundreds of dollars for a fantastically whiter smile, these things are for you.”
And for all of you with really annoying stains from bad habits out there, this person confirms you I will see difference “I am an ex-smoker and drink a lot of coffee and tea,” they wrote. “For the past few years, I’ve been a bit embarrassed about my stained teeth. Just one box of these was a game changer. I plan to keep up with them further but the difference is already very noticeable and I feel much more confident when I smile. I got the mints, and the taste wasn’t bothersome. I am interested in trying other flavors in the future, but I WILL get more.”
Each box contains 28 strips (14 treatments) that are stealable. Even better, it’s currently on sale, bringing the total price per box down to $20 — that’s less than $1.50 per treatment.
