    I could’ve sworn that there was research about over being the more higenic way. I argued with my brother over this. When I looked online the only research I found was about people who use the over way are more vocal about it

        Yes, same, only some cats enjoy that sort of things, & even then they could understand it’s causing problems (they might just stop bcs they see you unhappy about it).

    Those that throw out the roll when they know they will run out early on the next use, and those that keep using it until the end and replace the roll to add more mid wipe.

      It would have never occurred to me that people out there aren’t using every last bit… so thanks.

      P.S. Another possible solution to the kids/animals problem is a door, which bathrooms usually have

        • Simple fix; just don’t have animals or children in the house. If you can’t trust someone with that top roll, just artificially classify them into one of those groups and disallow them from your house.

          All for the sake of saving a couple squares of TP every so often!

          Then set it on the tank. That’s a lot of waste in a year {pun not intended).

            My kids and animals already waste more than that. And the tank is just as accessible to the animals.

            It’s also what, 6-10 squares each time? Lol that’s nothing.

            Kids will still drop it and why would the tank be better for animals?

            And how much paper are you leaving on the rolls in this scenario? It’s less than 10 squares.

      People always say that. Like it was in every cat’s nature to unroll the toilet paper when they see it. And it’s the only argument they have. I have never seen a cat do this and I have a lot of friends with cats.

        Consider yourself lucky. I still do it the normal way, but cats absolutely will unroll a toilet roll if it catches their attention.

          It entirely depends on the cat. Some cats will, others couldn’t care less.

        My husband and I had a cat for nearly a decade and she never so much as looked at the TP roll. Our current gremlin has sprinted at top speed into the bathroom because he heard me open the cabinet where we started hiding the TP when he wouldn’t leave it alone. He actually tried to grab it out of my hands, and I had to play tug of war with him! I’ve never encountered any other cat as hellbent on destroying TP, but he lives for it. Shreds it like he’s plucking a bird.

    Always use the smaller roll first. If you use the bigger roll, it’ll become the smaller, and vice versa, until both run out at about the same time. If you always use the smaller roll, it’ll run out first, with the big roll in reserve, giving you a chance to replace the empty one with no TP supply disruption.

    Left is correct.

    It allows you to tear away more easily without unrolling 20ft of paper.

    Also, cats.

    My roller is on the wall behind the toilet, so left is easier to actually tear off with one hand, right takes two hands.

    Putting it on the dispenser is too much work. Just put it on top and spin a few squares off with your finger in the roll when you need it.

    Right is the way the inventor intended it to be reloaded + it’s easier to access.

    Left is the way parents and pet owners need to reload it + it’s harder to unroll by accident (or by purpose) good number of times.

    Out of frame on the toilet basin/counter is the way people who don’t have a tp holder or don’t care to refill it put it.

    The bidet is what we use personally, way better for the butt health and probably better for the environment lol
