Ask PoopReport: Overhand Or Underhand?

Posted 04.09.2003 by Heather (40)
Dear PoopReport,

Which is the proper way to put a roll of toilet paper on the roll -- with the paper coming down over the top, or with the paper rolling out underneath? Please advise!

Pat (37) -- 04.09.2003

Personally I prefer having it over the top. However, the holster in my apartment is not very deep, and I keep double or triple rolls, because I use so much TP. For this reason, my TP rolls don't fit on the holster, and therefore I usually just heep the roll on the sink counter or the toilet tank.

The Big Wiper (2244) -- 04.09.2003

I'm with my buddy, PJ. I like to take it off the roll and hold it in my hand like it's some sort of prop in a play. Don't ask me why. Maybe it's some sort of shitting security blanket. Go figure.

PJbrownstuff (60) -- 04.09.2003

Neither. I take mine off the roll completely.

Bantam (29) -- 04.09.2003

Over.

Justa Girl (not verified) -- 04.09.2003

Definitely OVER. I don't recall ever holding the roll in my hand like a prop in a play or a security blanket but I love that idea. Maybe have one roll in the proper OVER position and another roll just sitting there for people to hold if they feel the need to do so. NOT UNDER, though.

I say over, wife says under.

I was going to put up a poll today with this question!! Too funny! Over over over is the way. My mom always puts out one extra roll on the counter. This solves the "just ran out" problem. I guess it would help those that need to hold the roll too. Just because I'm evil, I always use up the last of the roll on the holder and I don't replace it. I know that handy extra roll will always be there on the counter!

Neither! Some say I'm gross, but I like to save money. I usually use a shirt from the dirty clothes(I'm gonna wash it anyway) or just my hand and wash it promptly. 2 rolls of toilet paper-$1.00 Using 2 rolls/week for 1 year = $52.00 I just saved $52.00

I go with the "over" technique personally, but in a "pinch" I'll use my own boxers. My favortite is when I left a steamer in my roomate's cat's litter box as a prank. It might have funnier to wipe with his cat instead.

AssBlaster2000 (1117) -- 04.09.2003

Dave . . . we have definitely talked about this on the site before. Of course I have no evidence to back me up, though, so I'll shut up about that. I'm with PJ and Wiper, though, it's more fun when it's off the roll. It's liberating not to have the TP tethered to the wall. But, my boyfriend would have a hissyfit if I did that, so over the top it is. The roll just doesn't rip right when it goes under.

a friend (not verified) -- 04.09.2003

Has anyone bothered to ask the poor toilet paper which way it wants to go to its execution? By puting it over, the toilet paper doesn't see where it is going until it is off the roll. If you were the poor toilet paper, maybe that would be better.

Tom Turdriffic (not verified) -- 04.10.2003

Over, over, over!

Wife says under.

Milk Chocolate (not verified) -- 04.10.2003

Over. But just like Di, I've lived my entire life with another roll on the counter or the tank.

poopy (not verified) -- 04.11.2003

over... its just easier that way

Poo head (not verified) -- 04.12.2003

kiteless (not verified) -- 04.13.2003

if you have cats like we do that like to pull the paper off the roll (or kids) unfortunantly under is the only way to go... i prefer over, but having an intact roll of paper outweighs the under cons in my house.

I have created a vertical t.p. holder so I never have this issue. Creativity is is the best aproach to lifes great misteries

Rotten_Note (not verified) -- 04.13.2003

I agree with one of those comments a way back. Don't bother with TP it is a waste of money and time unless you're using it for wipe-on photo ID.

How's this for a survey: Do you wipe forward or backward?

As far as this one's concerned: Over

vertical, I put mine on the vertical kind of roll-holder, so it doesnt matter, I love dookie!

Most people are slaves to conformity and go with the way they were raised, and tend to defend it aggressively. Under tears better and does so with one hand-over rolls better and is closer to reach, for you lazy folks. Note that all rolls of foil, plastic wrap and waxed paper are all under. I forgive all of you that vote over...you probably crumple instead of fold, too.....BC

Andrew (34) -- 11.14.2003

UNDER!

The Shit Volcano (3737) -- 12.18.2003

What anal-retentive, pea-brained, shit-consuming, freakazoidal maniac with any ounce of self respect left would actually PUT a roll of toilet paper ON THE ROLL!!! I leave it on the counter. Screw that pathetic roller thing! I hate it!!!! But, if you must know, when I am forced to decide....

over.

Kristin (not verified) -- 06.10.2004

OVER, OVER, OVER!!!!!

The Shit Volcano (3737) -- 11.03.2004

I'm about to go to war with my sister when I move to Florida this month. She puts the toilet paper with the sheet UNDER. The bitch! I am going to keep turning it until she gets it right. Let's see what happens.

bung-oh-din (not verified) -- 11.08.2004

Here is how to save on paper and feel the hershey. Flatten the roll then put in dispenserso it rolls under. As you pull the 'flat tire effect' is fast overtaken by noxious gassses! In an effort to leave before choking on fumes you fast escape the ideal wipe. This has now become a last moment swipe. By continueing this practice you can save a shitload on paper but lose your ass paying for soap and hot water. Like my ole lady describes '...half a dozen of one... .

Al (15) -- 04.17.2005

OVER!

kymbo (not verified) -- 08.13.2005

It definately goes over!!!!!! This is the true UTOPIAN way!!!!!

NeophyteGodDesS (not verified) -- 08.13.2005

Over is just wrong! Under is the only way to go, people who want it over have an unhealthy obsessive personality disorder!
UNDER UNDER UNDER UNDER UNDER!

healthy 1 (1423) -- 02.06.2007

I do it over handed, but I don't think that there is any "right" or "wrong" way. It is a matter of prefference.

Unanimous (not verified) -- 03.24.2007

I prefer Overhand..

I read in a study that women and gay men tend to put the roll on underhand and straight men overhand.

Deja Poo (612) -- 04.10.2007

Over is the nature's way. When the roll is in the "over" configuration, the torque on the roll is to the right side.

Fart Poopie (1254) -- 04.10.2007

OVERHAND! I have the shirt to cast my vote. Do you?

Stripper Poop (35) -- 04.10.2007

I like the toilet paper on the over side. Lots of hotels fold the paper on the over side, with the little triangle fold on top so you know it's fresh. That's gotta be the "proper" way.

Strippers Poop Too!

Bilgepump (1629) -- 04.10.2007

doesn't matter to me, one way or the other, I use cat carcasses when ever possible, and live ones when I can get 'em.

GottaGoGirl (2615) -- 04.11.2007

I put it on underhand, so the tail hangs against the wall. I hate it when you can't find the edge of the paper, and you're spinning, and scratching at the roll.

For some reason, if it's on underhand, the edge can fall free when you spin it, and it's easy to find.

Well I have a theory about this: I see it as being an under achiever or an over achiever, as if you put it Over you will be an over achiever in life, and if Under you will be a under achiever in life. I have witnessed this as pretty much true and viable. Any objections please let me know.

fartqueen (54) -- 05.03.2008

i'm an over kinda gal! otherwise the TP doesn't come off the roll right!
