Burning Question: Over it?
This week’s question is sure to start a rousing debate. We’re talking about toilet paper ladies and gentlemen. When you put your TP on the dispenser do you intentionally place it so the paper comes over the roll or under it? Or are you one of those people who just doesn’t care either way? We’ve heard people proclaim that there is definitely a right way and a wrong way to dispense toilet paper so chime in about where you stand (or sit) on the subject of TP.
And speaking of toilet paper, here’s a post full of a fun ways to keep those extra rolls on hand without junking up the bathroom. Good times.

Over is the right answer, atleast in my house…and other houses i happen upon when visiting the bathroom. Haha, i can’t help it but I change it :) the husband doesn’t care either way but it for sure is the first thing I notice!
For SHOZ it is over. Nothing drives me more insane then going to use the bathroom and it has been put on backward. and unless you are a frat boy it is never acceptable to leave the toilet paper just sitting somewhere. sick, Sick, SICK
Always OVER. I, too, will switch it if it somehow ends up under.
And, for the record, I have two cats (6 months and 3 1/2 years), both adopted at 12 weeks or less. Luckily, neither one has ever been the least bit interested in unrolling the toilet paper. They will bat around the empty rolls if I leave them laying around though.
BTW, love Toothpaste for Dinner!
OVER for sure whenever it’s on the holder. The other way is totally backwards. We also have one or two rolls sitting atop the toilet tank, a la #3 :)
Before we had kids, the toilet paper was over. Now that we have kids the toilet paper goes under… it is baby-proof this way. Kids usually play with the toilet paper by hitting it with their hand and watch the toilet paper go around and around. When it it UNDER the toilet paper doesn’t unravel when they play with it.
OVER! and to kitty and kid protect it, you can snag one of these: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/14380185
I used to be an over kind of gal while my husband was under. Now that we have 3 young kids, I am happy when they are kind enough to replace the toilet paper on the roll. Nothing is worse than having like 1/2 a square left to use!
I’ve actually never really given it that much thought. I supposed whichever way the roll goes on!
OVER! I love that I’m not the only one obsessed with proper toilet paper placement. I can’t stand it when it’s under… I will flip it the right way, even at work!
I never knew anyone else cared! haha, This is one of my pet-peeves :P TP should always hang over, as in picture 2.
It’s under for me! Looks less conspicuous that way.
Of course I do have a friend who insists that it should go over and have the cute little “V” fold on the part that hangs down. She has been known to move the paper at my house from under to over and then make the pretty little folds.
I put it over…and I’ll tell you why. Our bathrooms are small and in both bathrooms the trash can is below the toilet paper holder. If you put the TP under, gravity tends to unroll it into the trash can. I choose over because the TP seems to have more self control that way. I prefer my TP to be unused and unrolled and free of trash can dirt when I am ready to use it!! :)
OVER. For sure. But my boyfriend always puts it under, so in our house, you can always tell who changed the roll.
It’s harder to find when it is under! Particularly when I get up in the middle of the night and don’t turn on the lights when I use teh restroom.
OVER…but my wife is an under, and I really don’t understand why. My basis has been quality hotels, who always put that fold in the OVER toilet paper roll.
These comments are hysterical! What a great post!
I am a lefty raised in an UNDER household of righties, but when I met my husband he was an OVER guy, and after seeing how much easier it is to find the end of the TP when it is OVER, I was a quick convert. OVER is the way to go!
Over. Over. Over. We just had friends visit this weekend and while they kindly changed the roll, they put it under, which is how they do it at their house. So wrong. So very, very wrong.
Under…you get better leverage.
Anyway, there real question should be…
…fold or scrunch?
OVER!!! It really bothers me when it is under and to me leaving it on top of the toilet is pure lazyness.
UNDER! Over looks great and all, but having two kittens and then a toddler made me realize that under makes it much harder for them to figure out how to unroll it into a giant pile on the floor!
Under. You don’t need two hands to pull it off the roll when its under.
Over you need two hands, which sucks when one has stitches in it!
And I hope the people who enjoy the folded over ends at hotels don’t actually use the folded end…
The same maid who has just cleaned that toilet is also putting the fresh roll on there and touching the paper all over to fold it.
Yuck!
OVER! Any other way is a serious time waster. Hehe. I love this debate.

Over. My in-laws are under people and it drives me a little crazy to go to their house. My husband seems to have picked up on this though and lets me put the TP on the dispenser.
