My cats vote to hang it over the front. That way they can unroll it and shred it at the same time. šŸ˜ƒ
 
I prefer over the front. However, as with Courtneyā€™s cats, that orientation is also much easier for the kiddos to swipe down and spin off an entire roll of paper before I recognize the extended silence of mischeif. So, in the main bath, it is now dispensing from the back, and will continue in that manner until all children in the house have hit the age of reason. (The master bath is still in the process of being remodeled, so the roll sits on a shelf.)
 
over the front, folks, over the front. My fiance agrees.

On a side note, I work at a paper mill (no, really, I do!).
ā€œwe bust ours so you can wipe yours.ā€ Of course itā€™s not as funny since we make posterboard type paper. Definitely not like Scottā€™s.

I hang the paper so it dispenses from the back (coming out at the bottom). This is the only way to do it if you have cats, unless you wish to clean up a mountain of shredded paper and replace the roll every day. šŸ˜ƒ

This burning question came up on another thread, so I thought it would be a good time to question the posting audience as to their habits in this domestic chore.

I have a wife to do that kind of thing.

Dispensing from the back. I like being a contrarian.šŸ˜ƒ

As for me, I dispense any old way. Whatever happens to come up, itā€™s totally random. Sometimes Iā€™ll just set the toilet paper on the self by the toilet. Sometimes Iā€™ll have one roll on the shelf and another on the dispenser, which will dispense either from the front or back, I really donā€™t care. šŸ˜›

I think it is more sanitary to have it grabbable from the front.
 
OVER THE FRONT

Donā€™t know what it is like in your part of the world but the brand I buy has the pattern printed on ONE side, the over the top side.

I seem to have been elected (in my absence) to be the one who changes the roll. Family members will leave ONE section on the roll to avoid having to change it. Another thing is to take a new roll from the packet and put it back after finishing with it.

I put up a list of instructions in our bathroom ā€œHow to Change a Roll of Toilet Paperā€. I went through, step-by-step, how to do this. I discovered that many years of education has left my family unable to follow simple instructions, but visitors got a laugh.

You have patterned toilet paper? :eek: All I ever see in the stores is plain, boring white (and the occasional pink, blue, or tan).

Beautiful topic! I LOVE TOILET PAPER!!
I always buy my tp at the dollar stores because I can get 6 rolls for only $1

For sure. I used to buy 12 ā€œdouble rollsā€ for $5 until I made the mistake of sending my daughter with my wife to buy them. They came back, Emily having told mom that 6 single rolls for $1 was a better deal. Of course 6/$1 is now the kind we use.

It does give twice as many opportunities for other people to PUT THE PAPER ON WRONG but I got over it for a buck. :rolleyes:

When inlaws are up here in the summer, this tends to be a war. So, I got one of those decorative holders that you place on the counter top and let them fight about it. Someone always gets out another roll to put on the propper dispenser. Each time someone uses it that does not like how it is they remove it from the dispenser and reinstall it. I ignore the propper dispencer and leave the room when the arguements start.

Last year without asking me, one of the inlaws decided to hire someone to trim our favorite tree. I was at the library studying most of the day. When I came back they wanted me to reinburse them $800 for the work. I laughed and said, ah NO. They did not ask my wife either, so she was mad when she saw it.
