Engineer writes bulletproof rant on why 'over' is the optimal toilet paper position.

Tensile strength? Alignment stability? I'm convinced. It definitely feels like hanging the flap over makes it easier to grab and tear without the roll spinning endlessly.

Health experts have agreed for years that "over" is also the more hyienic.

The original patent for the toilet paper roll was submitted in 1891 by Seth Wheeler .

The inventor intended the free end to hang in the front where it would be easy to see and grab.

The scientists might know physics, but they know little of the human heart.

If you like the under method because it looks cleaner or keeps your kids from pulling at the roll, you probably aren't worried about a 1% differential in tensile strength and coefficient of friction.
