A small roll.
A big decision.
Over for the everyday. Under for the agents of chaos. The proper way depends on who’s sharing your bathroom.

Two orientations. Two very different household situations.
Over the top.
Easy on everyone.
The loose end rolls over the top and hangs in front, away from the wall. It’s easy to spot, easy to grab, and easy to tear.
Our default for normal, peaceful bathrooms. Guests shouldn’t need a search party to find the first sheet.
Easy to findEasy to reachGuest-friendlyTeam over.
Best user experience. Least bathroom archaeology.
Team under.
For tiny hands, curious paws, and recreational unrollers.
Under the roll.
Outsmart the chaos.
The loose end hangs behind the roll, closer to the wall. A downward swipe at the front is less likely to feed an endless paper parade.
A practical experiment for cats, kids, and mischief-makers. It may help with casual batting. A determined vandal can still win.

The tiny chaos committee would like to appeal this decision.
Read the room.
Then hang the roll.
Peaceful household?
Go over. Put the loose end where the next person can see it. Fold a little point if you’re feeling fancy.
Paper on the floor again?
Try under. If the culprit keeps winning, a covered holder or a roll stored out of reach is the stronger move.
Who runs your bathroom?
Your roll: OVER.
Loose end in front. A little everyday kindness for the next person.
A household rule of thumb, not a guarantee: roll orientation won’t stop every cat or curious kid. Choose what works in your home.
