"Whitening" toothpaste doesn't actually bleach your teeth, it's supposed to remove stains. Since your natural tooth enamel colour is slightly yellow, your best bet would be having them professionally whitened. If you aren't willing to pay hundreds for something you'll need to have done at least once every year, the alternatives are white strips. Maybe they didn't work for you because you just didn't use the right type for you. Crest has a variety of white strips. Some are more effective than others. I recommend Crest 3D White Advanced Vivid.
You could also try oil pulling with coconut oil. It sounds crazy, but it does noticeably lighten teeth within about two weeks. I don't know why, but it does work, as well as being great for dental hygiene.
Basically, you swish a spoonful of coconut oil around your mouth for up to 5 minutes, or as long as you can stand it, every morning before you brush your teeth or eat anything. If you want good results, you have to buy good quality oil. Organic, cold pressed and unrefined.
Generally, the longer you swish it around your mouth for, the better the results will be. There's no point in only doing it for 30 seconds. When you start off it will be difficult to keep it in your mouth for more than a minute. As long as you keep it in as long as possible and are actively moving the oil around your mouth, it will work.
Spit the oil into a bin. The spit should look cloudy and white - that means it pulled the toxins and bacteria from your mouth, gums and in between your teeth. Never spit it into the sink or toilet as it will harden and clog up the pipes.
If it's cold where you live and the oil is always hard in the container, you can either melt it in the microwave or just take the hard oil and keep it in your mouth until it turns soft. Whichever is easier for you.
