yeah, I think I'm going to get a jar of coconut oil and try it again.

maybe it also has a cumulative effect?

after 2 and 1/2 months or something I thought My teeth looked one shade whiter, but then I gave up.

Why not give it another whirl?

Hmm. I might give this a go as well if I locate a jar and it doesn't taste too bad.

It's super mild, it just tastes like a little bit of coconut.

it only sucks if you're in a cold climate, because then you have to heat it up before you swish it around.

but if you're at any place above like 55 F, It's fine, just a spoonful of oil, swish it around for 5 or 10 minutes and then spit it out.

there's 100 tutorials online.

I mean... my kitchen and bathroom are inside, and not affected by the climate? I live in Finland, it's 5C (41F) outside, but it's 24C (75F) as I sit here.

See that's probably the issue, because I never liked coconut in anything. Bounty bars are absolutely awful.

I'll check them out when I start reconsidering dating, lol

It's a super mild taste, it's not like the coconut in a candy bar.

I'm actually right there with you, I don't like coconut candy at all, but I had no problem oil pulling.

Cool, best of luck.

If any of those YouTube tutorials are right, it takes forever on someone like me, but it really seems to work on other people, especially like that barista.

Thanks for the tips

If you get refined the taste is close to neutral
