Toilet Paper Dispensed From Top or Bottom?



Dear Dr. Dave and Dr Dee,

All my life I had the toilet paper dispense from over the top because I thought that was proper. My extremely proper girlfriend insists that the "proper etiquette" is to have the paper dispense from the back. Please settle this.

Signed,

Top or Bottom

Dear Top or Bottom,

Dispensing toilet paper over the top or from the bottom is not a matter of proper etiquette but of personal preference.

Most people prefer toilet paper be dispensed over the top. Toilet Paper World reported that 68% of the people surveyed hang toilet paper over the top (www.toiletpaperworld.com).
