The Splashback Scandal: How P-Wave Saves the Day (and Your Trousers)

Apologies in advance if you're mid-sandwich, sipping your tea, or enjoying your morning brew—you might want to put it down before reading on (or watching the video below).

Because today, we’re diving into one of life’s least-talked-about, yet most unpleasant restroom realities: urinal splashback.

Yep, we said it. And once you’ve seen it, you can’t unsee it.

What’s the issue?

Mark, our P-Wave Brand Manager, and Ollie from Source Supplies, recently put together a brilliant (and slightly horrifying) experiment to show the real-life difference between a urinal with and without our anti-splash Slant6 Urinal Screen.

As Ollie puts it, "When us blokes are firing into those urinals, the urine is splashing back—onto your trousers, your shoes, the floor… and if you're wearing shorts? Straight onto bare legs. Not ideal."

Beyond the ick factor, splashback causes unpleasant odours, hygiene concerns, and creates cleaning headaches for facilities teams everywhere.

Enter: Slant6 – The Splashback Slayer

At P-Wave, we’ve been making it safe to wear pastel coloured chinos since 2009 and the unique style of the Slant6 Urinal Screen in particular, was designed with one mission: deflect splash, not dignity.

Thanks to its slanted bristle design, Slant6 directs urine straight down into the drain, not back out at you. Think of it as a shield in the battle against bathroom blowback.

Why it works:

• Virtually zero splash: the angled bristles absorb and guide liquid downward, reducing spray and mess.
• Double-sided design: no wrong way to install it. Just pop it in and let it do its thing.
• Better for everyone: cleaner floors, fresher air, and far less trauma for trousers.

It’s an industry first—and a game-changer for any venue that cares about hygiene and user experience (aka, all of them).

So, whether you’re a facilities manager, a cleaner, or just a guy who values dry trousers, it might be time to join the anti-splashback revolution.

See it. Believe it. Smell the difference.
