I prefer over the top. It is closer to the user that way. The only way I could endorse under the bottom is if you have a pet or a child that likes to spin the roll.

 
I'm a 3-ply sort of guy, although I've had to use a sock now again when there's no bathroom nearby and nature calls.

Over the top. If I see a roll under the bottom, I'll usually switch it around.

 
Yuck! One of them bounced it off the front of the tank.

It's nasty, but strangely mesmerizing.

I'd try one of those but I'd probably slam into the wall as my commode isn't just floating in space.

 
i prefer the 'under' config - really makes little diff, if it gets set up in under position somebody usually switches it to the over position like Supe said.

It would require an incredible amount of athleticism, talent, and patience to be able to pull off one of those moves. It would need to be a Mary Lou Reton (sp?) type that had a crap on deck and it couldn't impair her gymnastics abilities.

 
I'll vote that I prefer OTT, however my mandatory requirement is that be some paper there to unroll.

 
Only Communists pull the TP from under the roll.
:eek:rlyflag:

Simple physics - spin the roll up, tp snakes down just as w/ over config. you spin the roll same direction as if in over config (down), the tp falls away from the roll - stupid but can make it easier to get a handful. Not so in the over config, if for some reason the tp fails to 'release' from the roll.

like MA says, as long as there's some tp there!

 
I'll not fall for your red mind tricks!

I'm attaching a detail that would fit nicely into a small tract to be handed out at social functions to educate the public.

That chart wouldn't work at my folks house, their tp wand is not removeable. You have to turn basically the whole thing counterclockwise to gain access to the empty roll.

Problem w/ that pdf. . .it didn't seem to depict the under method of the the over/under option. . . :fencing:

 
I'm going to go all SSmith on you guys (LOL - no offense SSmith!) and say that I question the engineering ability of anyone who believes the tp should not go over the top.
