I love hearing about how a successful brand or company was started. Especially about entrepreneurs that succeed in rocking new approaches to stagnant categories or creating new ones. Plop Star has been a 3 1/2 year journey in the making and I could not be more excited about our product or mission. Like most of us, I never was comfortable going #2 unless I was in the comfort of my own home because of the odor I might leave behind. I figured there had to be a product on the market that was super portable and easy to use when those situations arise and couldn't find any on the market. That's why I invented Plop Star. The world's most discreet bathroom deodorizer.
Initially, I started off on this journey with my mind set on creating a liquid toilet deodorizer spray. I had a great R & D team, but over a year of tons of beta testing, I realized I wasn't 100% happy with the final results. I found aerosols and toilet sprays will not completely cover poop smells and will leave your bathroom smelling almost worse than doing anything at all. I had to scrap over a year of R & D and at that point almost figured this idea would never come to reality. I was bummed but I knew if I didn't follow through seeing this idea come to fruition I would regret it the rest of my life. I just needed to figure out a better mouse trap. I also knew I needed to bring in some other key team members to help on this mission.
One of my business partners had told me how much his kids loved bath bombs and one day we concluded we should pursue creating a bathroom deodorizer in a tablet form. It was our 'ah ha" moment. I was very fortunate to be recommended to another local manufacturer who was willing to do R&D for us. It again took us over a year and half to figure out the correct MVP tablet. I will always remember trying batch "37" and the rest is history. After using it for the first time I knew we had found the 'holy grail' for toilet deodorizers. It took another year to get the name and branding correct but its been well worth it. I do hope our journey will help others. Plop Star is about having fun and who doesn't want to rock the toilet bowl with confidence, anywhere at anytime!
