    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.

    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.

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

      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’ve had 2/5 cats I’ve had donut, so the roll always goes down the back. Kept my kid from unrolling it for about a week lol

    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).

            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.

            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.

    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

    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.
