An expert has revealed the "correct" way to hang toilet roll.
You may be hanging your toilet roll all wrong
The debate has raged on for years about the right way to hang your loo roll in the bathroom, with people split between the 'over' and 'under' camps, but etiquette expert Jackie Vernon-Thompson thinks she has the answer.
Speaking to the Daily Mail newspaper, she said: "Research reveals that the proper and most hygienic way to hang your toilet paper is over and not under."
She insisted that's also the case for paper towels too, noting that "not only is it hygienic, it lends to maintaining proper hygiene, which is proper etiquette".
Jackie - who founded the From The Inside-Out School of Etiquette - explained that her position comes from the inventor Seth Wheeler.
It's said he listed the correct way to hang toilet roll in a diagram drawn up for the patent back in 1891.
The sketch showed the paper on the holder hanging over the top, which backs up Jackie's thinking, and she urged people to consider how they'd feel using a public bathroom with the paper hung the wrong way.
She added: "II the paper is over when you reach for the paper, your fingers will touch only the piece that you plan to use and flush", rather than other sheets which can spread "bacteria and germs".
