    According to the patent (US465588A) it should be over.

      If it’s under spiders can make a nest between the toilet paper and the wall so you’re wiping your ass or coochie with that.

      Are we really beholden to the past like that? Things change, and hopefully improve. I know most people say over but my argument for under is that it can do everything over can… But, due to the extra friction, I can also tear it one-handed by ripping fast and the roll won’t continue spinning.

        In the days of old when knights were bold and toilet paper wasn’t invented, they’d wipe their ass with a piece of grass and walk away contented.

        Discarded corn cobs and pages from the Sears Roebuck catalog. At least in midwestern USA.

        Your hands or water or a sponge that is then cleaned in water. It’s actually really interesting, and I encourage you and everyone else to read up on it.

    Do you have kids or pets that like to play with the toilet paper roll?

    If yes, then Under.

    If no, then Over.

    Be chaotic like me and just put it on whichever way it’s facing when you put the new roll on.

    Over is best for high rate on a household single roll holder, but if you ever load a bathroom stall toilet roll magazine its gotta be under or the next round wont cycle into chamber

    My husband just leaves it on the floor below the dispenser, even in the bathroom that just has a flip up instead of a springy cylinder.

    Under because that way you can model it by making a cylinder and adding a plane to it, because the plane is attached to the back you don’t have to do the extra work of making sure the textures line up.
