The Great Debate: Over or Under?

At Ripper Paper, we reckon the small stuff matters – like how you hang your dunny roll. Few things spark as much chatter in Aussie households (besides footy scores and what’s for dinner) as the age-old question: Should the roll hang over, with the loose end proudly draping over the top, or under, tucked away like it’s got something to hide? Let’s dig into the pros and cons of each method and have a good laugh while we’re at it.

This method has the loose end hanging over the top of the roll, like a flag waving in victory. Fun fact: the 1891 patent for toilet rolls shows the "over" method, so you’re basically a historical legend if you do this.

Ease of Access: You can spot the loose end quicker than a mozzie in your tent. No faffing about.

Hygiene: The paper steers clear of the wall, so it’s less likely to pick up any dodgy germs or mystery marks.

Aesthetic Appeal: Hotels do it this way for a reason – it’s like the toilet roll is saying, "Welcome, mate!"

Efficiency: Tear it off with one hand, easy as pie. No spinning the roll into oblivion.

Pet and Kid Chaos: If you’ve got a cheeky cat or a curious toddler, they’ll have a field day unraveling it like they’re auditioning for Australia’s Got Talent.

Space Constraints: In a tight loo, it might stick out too far, copping a whack or brushing up against something awkward.

The "under" camp tucks the loose end behind the roll, close to the wall. It’s the less flashy option, but it’s got its die-hard fans.

Pet and Kid Deterrent: It’s like hiding the Tim Tams on the top shelf – keeps the little mischief-makers at bay.

Space Saver: The roll hugs the wall like a koala on a gum tree, which is a win for compact bathrooms.

No Unraveling Dramas: The wall acts as a brake, so you’re not left with a heap of TP on the floor after one enthusiastic yank.

Harder to Spot: Fumbling for the loose end in the dark is a proper stitch-up.

Wall Worries: The paper might brush against the wall, picking up dust, germs, or whatever your teenager hasn’t cleaned.

Looks Meh: Some reckon it’s as uninspiring as a meat pie without sauce.

Here at Ripper Paper, we’re all about keeping it simple and practical. If you like quick access and keeping things spick-and-span, go "over." But if you’ve got a mischievous fur baby or tight quarters, "under" might save your bacon. Either way, there’s no judgment – unless you’ve left the holder empty. Then you’re on thin ice, mate.

The real MVP in this debate? Ripper Paper’s high-quality toilet rolls that make every trip to the loo a little ripper. So whether you’re team "over" or team "under," keep it stocked, keep it clean, and keep the laughs rolling.
