The Story Of The Tamer’s Inception
It was during a conversation with his son-in-law, Donovan, that the idea for the Tissue Tamer was born. Stan mentioned he would love to have some sort of device that would ensure easy one-handed tissue pulling, and Donovan, with his metal fabrication expertise, was quick to help Stan come up with the perfect design. After discussing a variety of designs, Donovan built a prototype of the first Tamer iteration, one that wrapped around the bottom of the tissue box. After they tested it, Donovan suggested a new idea: why not have the Tamer sit on top of the box? Such a design would fit over a variety of box sizes and be easy to install and use. Stan loved the concept, and here we are today, with the efficient and simple Tissue Tamer. As for the product’s name, Donovan’s mom came up with it!
"The product should be called Tissue Tamer!"
