    Left is correct.

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

    Also, cats.

    Nah, see, that’s baby shit. You still have toilet paper in the end.

    There are two types of people in this world:

    • Those who have a bidet.
    • And the bidet-less.

          My bidet is powerful enough that it gives you a mild enema if you get it just right. I don’t need to check.

      This is what I do but only because there is no wall directly in reach on the left or right of my toilet, only a wall behind me, which makes reaching the toilet paper annoying as shit

      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.

    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

    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.

    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.

        • 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.

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

    The left means you get a healthy dose of bathroom wall dust which is primarily made of pee.

    Is the right way clearly shown in the patent illustrations? Unless you own a cat, the left way is wrong IMHO.

    This was settled years ago. Going off the photo, either option is fine but people that prefer the option on the right will lose their shit if you suggest either option is fine
