I know a hippy(relevant detail) who regularly drinks coffee, worked as a barista for half her life, and her teeth are like movie star white, because she does oil pulling to keep them that way.
I tried it, didn’t do much for me after a couple months, but her teeth were yellow one year and then the next time I saw her they were totally white, and she said it was from oil pulling that year, which is basically swishing coconut oil around in your mouth for 5 or 10 minutes and then spitting it out
her teeth was like crazy white and she said she had to stop doing oil pulling for a while because people were starting to freak out over how white her teeth were and she couldn’t talk to anyone without them being like what’s up with your crazy white teeth.
and they were absolutely yellow the year before. or, you know, like normal human yellow.
it only sucks if you’re in a cold climate, because then you have to heat it up before you swish it around.
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.
It’s super mild, it just tastes like a little bit of coconut.
See that’s probably the issue, because I never liked coconut in anything. Bounty bars are absolutely awful.
there’s 100 tutorials online.
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.

I think we’d all like to know how that feels, even though no-one would enjoy it in the long run.
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.

Thanks for the tips
If you get refined the taste is close to neutral
Holy hell. I’m getting grossed out well before a minute of swishing anything.
yeah, this sounded gross to me too. you can do a pre-wash out with water first.
and the girl who told me about it started out with just doing a minute a day cuz she was like ew ew ew hahhah.
it becomes normal pretty quickly.
or it felt normal to me after a few days.
