Toilet Paper - Front or back of the roll?

[guska]

Wow, you really dug up an old one. But, it's for valid reasons.

Well, it's what I do best!

 

[GT4_Rule]

Hanging from the front. Always. Although I can tolerate back too.

You dug up a very old thread Gooseter

Secondly, sometimes, in the morning, when you're still really tired, you might plop down on the john to take a piss, but your balls take a nice dip in the process. That SUCKS.

How high is the water in your toilet?!

How high is the water in your toilet?!

One thing I noted while in the US, their toilet water is high!

 

[Keef]

It all depends on the individual toilet. I don't know how the level is regulated, but all of them are different.

Watch the line guys. We're getting very close to the edge....

Anyway. What reason would there be to have toilet water so high? I'm curious. Surely it would just cause unwanted splashage. I just checked. My toilet water is only about 2 inches max from the deepest part.

 

[GT4_Rule]

I thought this was about toilet papers...

It just depends on the toilet. Misadjusted ones, I guess.

 

[Keef]

Things evolve Rule.

I don;t know what regulates toilet water level. I think it's the toilet itself, not water pressure or anything like that. Both my toilets are different all the time. I know the float holds the flap open and the flap covers the hole that lets the water in. It just depends on how easily the float floats, or if it sticks. I don't really know how that changes though.

Did some research. And the Toilet water level is related to the height of the Siphon.

Let's say that you somehow disconnected the tank, and all you had in your bathroom was the bowl. You would still have a toilet. Even though it has no moving parts, the bowl solves all of the problems a toilet needs to solve. The crucial mechanism that is molded into the bowl is called the bowl siphon, shown here:

You can understand how the siphon works by trying two experiments with your toilet. First, take a cup of water and pour it into the bowl. You will find that approximately nothing happens. What's even more interesting is that you can pour 25 cups (6 L) of water into a toilet, one at a time, and still, nothing will happen. That is, no matter how many cups of water you pour in, the level of the water in the bowl never rises! You can see in the figure why this is the case. When you pour the cup of water in, the water level in the bowl rises but the extra water immediately spills over the edge of the siphon tube and drains away.


Now, take a bucket of water -- approximately 2 gallons (7.6 L) -- and pour it into the bowl. You will find that pouring in this amount of water causes the bowl to flush. That is, almost all of the water is sucked out of the bowl, and the bowl makes the recognizable "flush" sound and all of the water goes down the pipe. What's happened is this: You've poured enough water into the bowl fast enough to fill the siphon tube. And once the tube was filled, the rest was automatic. The siphon sucked the water out of the bowl and down the sewer pipe. As soon as the bowl emptied, air entered the siphon tube, producing that distinctive gurgling sound and stopping the siphoning process.


You can see that, even if someone were to cut off the water to your bathroom, you could still flush the toilet. All you need is a bucket containing a couple of gallons of water.

I usually use the newspaper. Actually, I could read last day's news when I checked my arse in the mirror.


Vote : Hanging from the front!

wtf are you talking about? Is your toilet paper on double secret probation or something? How can you not see how much is left while it's on the normal dispenser?

Actually, yes it kind of (stupidily) is. The way the TP is situated in the washroom, the only way you can see the roll is if your sitting down, and by that point, the log ride is already making a splash. I just got so sick of yelling for my GF to bring me TP, that I just started stickin it on the back of the toilet. 👍

Edit: Sitting down to pee? If your aim is that bad, just remember this lil rhyme...

If you sprinkle when you tinkle,
Then be a sweetie and wipe the seatie...

What about the floor?



I put the toilet paper on, so that it rolls from the front.

First of all, on topic, proper overhand fashion is the only way.

Secondly,

As for the sit vs. stand thing. As unpopular as it'll make me with the fellas. If you live with a woman...Just sit. You can wipe off your "gun" which will keep you dry, and make YOU happy. You have an excuse to sit down, which will make YOU happy. PLUS, If you do sit, you won't pee on the floor, which will make HER happy. You won't forget to lower the seat, which will make HER happy. Cause if she's pissed off that she fell in cause the seat was up, She will come in to the bedroom yelling and cussing, and you won't get "happy" for a long while. (don't ask me how I know).

Our custom is to put the lid (not just the seat) down every time. This is good for multiple reasons.

A) If you have pets, they can't drink the toilet water
B) Nothing can fall in if it's covered
C) It looks better
D) Otherwise what's the lid for?
E) It eliminates the whole "seat down or up" argument.

With the lid down every time, it's easy to make sure that the seat comes up when it needs to or is down when it needs to be. I find that it's a nice common ground.

Now, about cleaning the gun after each firing. That's something that I practice and I think is important, even though I stand. If the TP roll is stocked in the proper overhand fashion, you can grab a square while standing. But if it's not, that becomes more difficult.

I think that's another one of those urban legends. The first time I heard it they were talking about the Middle East. The rest of the story is that they chop off your right hand as punishment. That way you have to eat and wipe with the same hand. NASTY!

As opposed to if they cut off your left hand??

 

[El Gigante]

I think my toilet roll just sits on the shelf, or maybe on the radiator

 

[Evolution.]

Mmm...pre-warmed TP .

Overhand all the way.

 

[Danoff]

Mmm...pre-warmed TP .

As opposed to post-warmed eh?

[sarcasm] I agree though, I hate it when I go for the TP and as soon as I apply it I'm shocked by how cold it is. Cold toilet paper sucks worse than anything. I should stop stocking in the freezer I suppose... [/sarcasm]

Well, you either have to freeze it or salt it to prevent spoilage. I guess you haven't wiped with salty toilet paper, becuase that sucks worse than anything. (Well, I did get scurvy once from wiping with TP that was stored in a tin can, but that was an isolated incident )

 

[Danoff]

Yes, don't want the flies getting to it. Nothing worse than smelly fly-infested toilet paper.

In this toilet-paper-is-meat discussion can we start with the gay jokes now?

 

[Leonidae]

front, of course. because it's the way things are. like why the fly of the jeans is in the front.

 

[Danoff]

Uh... you are, of course, aware that the fly being in the front of jeans isn't just "because it's the way things are" aren't you?

 

[TB]

Front of the roll for me, and the wife don't care, so it all comes down to who empties the roll and puts the new one on.

My aim isn't horrible, but I'd just rather not wipe anything down in the first place. I'm way too lazy...and plus, getting up off the pot doubles as a hindu-squat for that precious morning exercize. lol.

 

[SS69]

you know i find it odd that in all our advances in the last hundred years we still havent come up with a better way to wipe our own asses. of course there's the bidet but there's still wiping involved.

My thoughts exactly. It seems like we'd have come up with a better system. Wiping isn't all that great a solution.

 

[backspace]

So would you rather just wipe your own arse, or have some mechanical device high pressure wash, then steam clean your arse for you? I'm all for wiping, with the TP roll hanging down in front.

Wheres Loudmusic been lately?

 

[Rogue Ssv]

I use the back.
It looks better.

 

[Omnis]

There was the bidet in the 80's and stuff... Why the hell don't they come on modern toilets anymore? I mean, besides those japanese toilets which are considered "ULTRA_TECHNOLOGICK!" just because they shoot water into your bum. It's old technology (about 300 years old, in fact), but I guess people are too ignorant to use it.

So would you rather just wipe your own arse, or have some mechanical device high pressure wash, then steam clean your arse for you? I'm all for wiping, with the TP roll hanging down in front.

See? I don't know if you've ever experienced serious mud-butt, but a bidet in that situation makes the job tenfolds more convenient.

Actually, on occasion, i have tried the first bit of TP, and then thought "nope, now that's NOT going to work!" and had a shower instead.

Yeah, but instead of taking all that time to shower, you could've been straight with a quick little bidet attachment. Haha.
