If you mount the holder vertically, it ends the argument. Arguing about the end on the left or right isn't quite the same and doesn't carry the same passionate beliefs. ;)Brilliant!-app103 (April 27, 2011, 06:23 PM)

I'm an over person, but not for any of the reasons listed there.
Toilets are toilets. With the 'under' method, just how often do you think that people will brush their fingers against the wall trying to get hold of the paper? Maybe people will clean toilet seats, and toilet pots, but will ANYONE clean the wall underneath the toilet holder? Do you?
I know I don't. Thus: over it is. ;)-worstje (April 27, 2011, 08:19 PM)

Over.
I get annoyed if it's facing the wrong way, and I definitely correct the error - also if I'm visiting other people :)-f0dder (April 29, 2011, 10:43 AM)
BTW, last year I discovered that those CD/DVD spindles that hold 100 discs work pretty well as a toilet paper dispenser. Depending on how thick (circumference) the roll is, you can slide it on the spindle and then put the plastic case on it to keep the roll from getting smashed. Then just stick it in the back of your car as part of your emergency kit.-Deozaan (April 29, 2011, 04:39 PM)
That's actually one of the reasons listed as a Pro for "over the roll." See #2 in the Advantages section for Over.-Deozaan (April 29, 2011, 04:39 PM)
As for the unraveling argument, I think there's a little bit of an irrational fear there. People who prefer under look at the over orientation and think "Man, that looks unstable! It's going to unravel! Oh no!!" But it's really not anywhere near that bad. I just think, practically speaking, over wins every time.

On a final note, if you own a business and get toilet paper that is so cheap it rips by the pressure required to remove the said toilet paper, just remember this. Those are the places that I make sure i have enough toilet paper to make a paper mache basket ball before i commence wiping. There are 2 reasons, first reason is a protest for the retarded notion this will save any money, and the second is because the paper is so thin i can't trust it so must use only large quantities.-Kamel (April 29, 2011, 09:54 PM)
I like the 3-ply stuff.
I once found some nice aloe vera 3-ply stuff that was like wiping your butt with a silky cloud. Super soft and very nice. I've not been able to find it since though... :(-Renegade (April 29, 2011, 10:52 PM)

While I myself prefer the over method, I see #2 (for under) as an extremely compelling practical reason for the under method but only if you have a frequent problem with children or pets or earthquakes unraveling your toilet paper.-Deozaan (April 29, 2011, 07:23 PM)

If you happen to live in/near an area with a Costcow (probably US only) I have to say I like their brand of TP. Though for some reason all Costco brand stuff actually goes by the name of Kirklandw.-Deozaan (April 30, 2011, 04:24 AM)
