FAQ
Figure 1 specifically shows the roll on a toilet paper holder, still facing outward. Thus, this means the answer to the contested question of “should a toilet paper roll face over or under when on the holder?” is answered. The answer is it should face OVER.
The toilet roll debate dates back to 1891 with Seth Wheeler's patent, which showed the roll hanging "over". This could be due to hygiene reasons (less contact with potentially germ-infested walls) or aesthetic preferences during the Victorian era.
Our hands are at their germiest as they reach for toilet paper. The theory goes that if the toilet paper is in the “over” position, fingers only touch the toilet paper about to be used. If the toilet paper is in the “under” position, chances increase for fingers to touch the wall, leaving a trail germs in their wake.
Because if it's hung the other way around it's harder to reach and fumbling for a few sheets couldMoreBecause if it's hung the other way around it's harder to reach and fumbling for a few sheets could spread germs on your walls. And on the toilet. Paper gross. So that's all the evidence.
McNatt, Cindy (22 April 2010), "Easy ways to go green for Earth Day", The Orange County Register, Factiva OCR0000020100503e64p0002t, Planet Green says that if you hang your toilet paper roll so the paper comes out over the top, not from under, you'll save on toilet paper.
Options included rocks, leaves, grass, moss, animal fur, corn cobs, coconut husks, sticks, sand, and sea shells.
The first commercially available toilet roll appeared in 1857 thanks to Joseph Gayetty who sold “Medicated Paper for the Water Closet” which was sold in packs of 500 sheets. A few decades later the first perforated toilet paper rolls appeared on the market in 1890 thanks to the Scott Paper Company of Philadelphia.
The first patent for the flushing toilet was issued to Alexander Cummings in 1775. 1777: Samuel Prosser invented and patented the 'plunger closet'. Joseph Bramah of Yorkshire patented the first practical water closet in England in 1778. During the 1800s, people realized that poor sanitary conditions caused diseases.
Seth Wheeler's 1891 patent shows the original placement of the toilet paper roll using an "over" approach. Not that you should ever blindly follow the crowd, but a whopping 70% of the population prefers the “over” position.
It was granted on September 15, 1891 as patent number US456516A, with credit again to Seth Wheeler, and rights again to the Albany Perforated Wrapping Paper Company. An immediate improvement filed by Seth Wheeler, which was granted on December 22, 1891, as patent number US465588A.
