Toilet Paper Question

There are two ways to hang toilet paper: 1) over (with the loose end draped over the top) and 2) under (with the loose end hanging inside next to the wall).



Which way, do you believe, is the correct way a roll of toilet paper should be put on a holder and why?

The roll holder says over. I don't care.
My ex said I had to put it under because that's more hygienic because dust falls on it if you do it over??? It's all fine with me.

The discussion about how to hang up a toilet roll has now grown and is one that inventor Joseph Gayettey could not have imagined in 1857 when he tried to market his 'Medicated Paper' as loose sheets. His invention was not very successful, because many Americans found a pack of 500 sheets too expensive. They preferred to reach for an old newspaper.

From images of the Scott Paper Company, which had been producing rolled loose sheets in Philadephia since 1890, it can be deduced that the sheet is towards the back of the guideline. A patent by Seth Wheeler from 1891, who saw more benefit in paper on the roll, shows that he saw the sheet facing forward as ideal.

If the creators do not agree, what should the average toilet attendant do?

Research by Sanitairwinkel.nl shows that 20 percent of Dutch people are bothered by an incorrectly hung roll, but is there actually a correct way to hang the thing? According to Ries Bokken, spokesperson for toilet paper manufacturer The Good Rolls, the roll should indeed be with the sheet facing forward.

“That has everything to do with the pressure that comes with it. If the toilet paper is at the front, there is more pressure on the roll, making the paper easier to tear loose. It also gives people room to turn their arm,” says Bokken. According to the spokesperson, it is much easier to hang the toilet roll at the front.

More hygienic
Yet, according to Bokken, there is also something to be said for the sheet on the back. “People often find it more hygienic if the sheet goes from the back.” An American study shows that the income position of toilet users plays a role. 73 percent of people with an income below 20,000 have it over, on the front. 60 percent of those who earn more than $50,000 have the role the other way around.

Gilda Carle, an American psychologist and relationship expert, says that role orientation says something about the toilet user himself. The psychologist set up a real toilet paper personality test, asking 2,000 Americans about their role behavior. What turned out? Supporters were often more dominant in relationships, more assertive in the workplace and a bit of a perfectionist. Trailers are said to be more submissive, relaxed and reliable. People who did not prefer were conflict-avoidant, flexible people.

LOL Google translate is funny. Supporters and trailers? That must be front hangers and back hangers, but it sounds funny, so I leave it like that.

How nasty is the bathroom if it makes a difference on the hygiene of hanging toilet paper. I like it over the top, it's easier to grab and see the actual number of squares that are about to be pulled apart. In fancy hotels, they fold the end of the roll in a fancy origami configuration. Can't be done if the roll is backward.

In conclusion, I find that people that hang the roll with the end up against the wall grew up that way. And it was because their parents did it that way and somewhere up the line it started that they couldn't control their toddlers and cat and either or both would bat at the roll unrolling it onto the floor. Can't be done if it is installed backward.

Over is the correct way.

The statement in the OP is incorrect. There is one way to hang the T.P.
Over.
The end.
