Ooooooh, Kate just sent me a photo of her new, installed atomic starburst toilet paper holder — one of the last remaining stock from Rejuvenation’s current supplier. I thought it looked lovely but frankly, I found it very difficult to focus, as I was so OCD-alarmed that the toilet paper was hanging the wrong way. It needs to go OVER!

it really doesn’t matter BUT as many of may recall, toilet paper used to have colored printed patterns on them…(tiny flowers, etc.) You would HAVE to put the roll going OUTWARDS not under, in order to see the pattern.

Anyone with a dog or cat that likes to unspool the TP knows the answer to this question.

Agreed! My cats would have a field day with this if we went over vs under.

Mine is attached to the vanity so I guess I have to say over. Well really placed vertical on the vanity counter above (over) the empty holder.

Anyone who has ever raised a toddler or cared for one knows that toilet paper OVER is begging for a clogged toilet. Once they get that roll of toilet paper going, it’s hard to stop it. If you were 3 years old and have more toilet paper than you could ever hope to use, what would you do with it??? FLUSH it, of course.
