The main reasons given by people to explain why they hang their toilet paper a given way are ease of grabbing and habit.[8]
The over position reduces the risk of accidentally brushing the wall or cabinet with one’s knuckles, potentially transferring grime and germs;[9] makes it easier to visually locate and to grasp the loose end;[10] gives the option to fold over the last sheet to show that the room has been cleaned;[11] and is generally the intended direction of viewing for the manufacturer’s branding, so patterned toilet paper looks better this way.[12]
The under position provides a more tidy appearance, in that the loose end can be more hidden from view;[13][14] reduces the risk of a toddler or a house pet such as a cat unrolling the toilet paper when batting at the roll;[15] and in a recreational vehicle may reduce unrolling during driving.[16]
Partisans have claimed that each method makes it easier to tear the toilet paper on a perforated sheet boundary.[17]
The over position is shown in illustrations with the first patents for a free-hanging toilet-roll holders, issued in 1891.[18]
Various toilet paper dispensers are available which avoid the question of over or under orientation; for example, single sheet dispensers, jumbo roll dispensers in which the toilet roll is perpendicular to the wall, and twin roll dispensers.[19] Swivelling toilet paper dispensers have been developed which allow the paper to be unrolled in either direction.[20][21
