After a few hours of putting the strips on, my teeth started hurting for hours and it didn't stop until I went to bed... They hurt on the 1st and on the 2nd day. Should I still cotinue to use them? Will the pain go away? Tomorrow will be the 3rd day.

If I manage to handle the pain, should I continue using them?

That is actually natural for your teeth to hurt. It should go away after you use the ma couple of times. If the pain continues for a long time, like over a week or 2, I would stop using them.

Sorry about your teeth hurting...but they are with good reason. The strips contain strong chemicals, namely peroxide and bleach-the very two things we learn in first grade science that dont mix! As well as being toxic, they leach minerals from the coral like structure of the bones holding your teeth in. It is the leaching of these minerals that is causing your pain. I would highly recommend you discontinue use. Your teeth can be whitened effectively by brushing regularly with a paste made from mixing baking soda with a few drops of hydrogen peroxide.

Those things strip the enamel from your teeth and make your teeth very sensitive and susceptible to decay. They really aren't very good for your teeth.

STOP using them if they make your teeth hurt!
go to a denist to get your teeth cleaned

That same thing happened to my friend. Don't use them. Call the dentist for an alternative plan.

You are developing sensitivity. You must discontinue immediately and use sensydyne toothpaste to relieve the sensitivity.
