We had a big discussion about that a while ago, so I'm asking all my friends...."Do you put the roll on with the flap on top or underneath"?.
Personally I don't care, which ever way I grab the roll that's the way it goes on.
Sometimes I just leave it on the counter.
I think the right way is to put it with the flap on top so you can make pretty little
folds like you do when you're a Maid at a Hotel....I did that for almost 17 years.
So how do you apply your roll?

I have the flap underneath but was perturbed to find that a particular design of toilet paper had its dogs or something the other way round. It bugged me but I just refused to turn it round..so I guess the manufacturers reckon "flap up" lol.

I never seen TP with dogs on it
. I guess if you have TP with a design on it it looks better with the flap up

It was the Andrex puppy embossed on the white paper...I try to avoid it now!

nope, just the one. I let it stay with on top, I figure it doesn't matter all that much anyway.

I really pay no mind to that kind of simple stuff. i just don't find it worth my while to see if the toilet paper is on the right way or anything. I'm actually not the one that puts it the tube so I really don't have to care about it. I think it's crazy hoe some people have to have it a certain way..I mean it's going to go into the trash anyways. I don't see how having it the right way(which ever the right way is) would make it easier.

You're right..I just put it on which ever way I grab it. It doesn't really matter as long it's soft..Heehe

Mine is to put the flap on top because it ease up the rolling based on the pull you make.

What I do is I just grab a roll of toilet paper and roll it on my hands like hand wraps =D

Over the top is probably the prefered way , unless you have cats. That would just make it easier for them to spin it all onto the floor.
I'm lucky if the ladies in my house even put it in the holder. No matter how many times I complain about them leaving it on the back of the toilet & it either ending up in the trash or the bowl they won't take the time to hang it.

I wouldn't put it on the toilet tank cause it just ends up in the bowl like you said but that's what they do at Hotels

Hey missy! You folded the flap on top? I've never seen that!
Well, I guess I never went to any "fancy" hotels. lol I must
have the toilet paper roll facing up, of course! The bf leaves
the roll empty for me to change, but if he does change it it
is never right anyway! And I am (unfortunately) going to visit
"mommie dearest" in two weeks (pray for me, am flying again)!
and I think she puts it on under! Good think I will take over
the second bathroom!

My prayers are with you...I think it wipes the same either way

Definitely over the top! It drives me nuts to see it from the bottom.. I've even switched it when I've visited someone's house (me bad!). Seriously, if you look at how the rolls are printed, it's designed to be installed over the top.

I mostly buy white TP and don't ever pay attention to the design if I do get pretty paper.
Do people ever noticed you turned there paper around?

Hiya missybear,
Put the Toilet Rolls on the right way round at least for me it´s the right way around.. I also leave some loose in the Bathroom cupboard so they don´t get annoyed looking for spare Toilet Rolls.
When I was working in the Hotels I used to put the Toilet Rolls how they wanted me to put them.
It was a matter of what they wanted and not what I would have done.

When I worked in the Hotel I had to put it with the flap on top too.

I prefer the roll to be on top. It just looks way more 'natural', I don't know. I'm just used to it that way.
On an unrelated note, a much more interesting question is, how do you wipe your B-hind, standing up or sitting down? haha
