It all started with a single catastrophic moment: a GDFE of such magnitude that it shook a man to his core.
One Tuesday morning, our founder Ben Allen faced a crisis. A burrito-fueled event unlike any other tore through the silence of a co-working toilet stall.
The aftermath? Humiliation. Splatter. And a haunting that would not fade.
But from the ashes of that explosive event came clarity. There had to be a better way.
Thus, The Backstop was born: a flushable barrier sheet designed to catch the blast before it tarnishes the back of the bowl. From a place of shame came laughter. From an awkward moment emerged a mission.
Backstop Labs isn’t just about toilet hygiene; it’s about dignity. It’s about absurdist joy. It’s about building a better world one bowl at a time.We're here to protect your porcelain, preserve your pride, and usher in a new golden (brown?) age of comedic engineering.Backstop Labs.
