The great toilet paper debate has raged for decades: should the end of the roll hang over or under? Now, a hygiene expert has stepped in to settle the argument once and for all.
The Science Behind the Hang
According to the expert, the correct way is for the paper to hang over the top. This position makes it easier to grab sheets without fumbling and reduces the risk of touching the wall or holder, which can harbour bacteria.
Why Over is Better
- Hygiene: Minimises contact with surfaces that may be contaminated.
- Convenience: Allows for smoother one-handed tearing.
- Aesthetics: Shows off the pattern (if your loo roll has one).
The Under Argument Debunked
Some argue that hanging the roll under prevents pets or toddlers from unravelling it. However, the expert suggests that proper storage or training is a better solution than sacrificing hygiene.
So there you have it – the definitive answer to this bathroom conundrum. Will you be switching your hang?
