What is the correct way to hang a toilet roll?
Does this question seem insignificant to you?
So know that this debate has been raging for decades!
It's a subject that can divide an entire family, poison relations between roommates...
And even turn the toilet into a fierce battlefield!
Yes, forget the dog/cat, pie/cake, sea/mountain debates or other subjects that are often controversial.
If there is a question that really divides , this is the positioning of the toilet paper roll !
Those who prefer the "over" method will say that this positioning is not only more aesthetic, but also more hygienic.
Because you can easily tear off the next piece of paper.
Conversely, others will point out that positioning "from below" makes it tidier and more orderly.
Not to mention the fact that it is more difficult to access pets who love to play with toilet paper:
And you ? Does the question bother you too?
So, know that there is a definitive and 100% indisputable answer to this old debate!
Get ready, because some proponents of toilet paper positioning might be disappointed!
The right answer comes from Seth Wheeler, the very inventor of toilet paper rolls.
Look at the original patent he filed in 1891 in the United States:
Bim! These images clearly prove that Seth Wheeler intended his revolutionary invention to take place over the top of the roll .
Indeed, we can see black on white that the toilet paper roll is NOT positioned "underneath".
Still not convinced?
So, check out this other image from Mr. Wheeler's patent:
You can't find a more categorical answer than that, can you?
That said, we live in a democracy…
This means you can position your toilet paper roll as you see fit .
It's true, as far as we know, there is no Toilet Paper Brigade yet :-)
But the next time someone close to you bugs you about the proper place to put the toilet paper...
Just tell him that the inventor of this amazing product was a proponent of "over the top" positioning .
Do you want to naturally scent your toilet? Without using chemicals like Air Wick? So use your toilet paper roll too.
There is indeed a simple and practical trick to deodorize the toilets.
Just pour a few drops of essential oil of your choice (lemon, lavender...) directly on the roll of toilet paper.
Put them well on the cardboard of the roll and not on the sheets.
Every time you use the toilet paper, it smells good! Smart, isn't it? Check out the trick here.
