In a cozy restaurant setting in London, England, three friends sharing laughs found themselves discussing an unexpected topic – toilet troubles. It’s only February, and one friend confesses to not one, not two, but three toilet blockages already this year. The culprit? Supposedly “flushable” wet wipes that don’t break down.
This conversation inspired two of these friends to seek a better more environmentally-friendly alternative.
