Those are not photos I took, they were sent to me from a friend awhile back as a joke. One day after seeing those pics, I was on the thrown and glanced in the tub and saw a small spider. Guess where my eyes went to immediately?I keep my rolls in a tube holder beside the porcelain thrown, it's 50/50 when I pull one out and put it on the holder. @IrishEyes I'm glad we don't have big spiders here.![]()
My current house was built by a young couple, their first and only attempt at do it yourself, and comes with a few amateur flaws. My upstairs bath room was not planned, because it was just using an awkward space, and utilities were installed where they could fit, not were they were most useful. As a result there is no place to hang a toilet paper role where someone who is not a circus contortionist can reach. So my toilet paper sits on the vanity in the lazy position above. It's not unhandy by any means, but it's embarrassing, and I worry that people think I was too lazy to install a holder.
During the early days on my own, toilet paper was used in place of tissues and you could never be certain where you might find a roll.My current house was built by a young couple, their first and only attempt at do it yourself, and comes with a few amateur flaws.

We've had this discussion many times here on SF.... mine is over .. experts and hygenists have concluded that it should always be over
same ..here in my desk cupboard I have a loo roll in there to use instead of tissues.. much cheaper than a box of tissues and thicker..lolDuring the early days on my own, toilet paper was used in place of tissues and you could never be certain where you might find a roll.![]()
I just got over a 9 month allergic reaction that had me blowing my nose continuously all day and all through the sleeping hours. It was exhausting. It was finally treated with a drug called Montelukast, and it's been a blessed month so far. My prescription ran out yesterday, and I'm waiting to see if the reaction comes back or if there will be any withdrawal. I suspect, I'll have to stay on the drug.During the early days on my own, toilet paper was used in place of tissues and you could never be certain where you might find a roll.![]()
This was our answer when space was an issue. I could put it anywhere to make it easy to reach.My current house was built by a young couple, their first and only attempt at do it yourself, and comes with a few amateur flaws.

That would be cool, a toilet paper robot, with a deluxe version that is remote controlled.This was our answer when space was an issue. I could put it anywhere to make it easy to reach.

I keep extras in a bathroom cabinet that's reachable from the toilet. At parties we've all had to root in friends' BR cabinets to replace a roll that was empty or nearly so. Added incentive to keep those undersink cabinets tidy.I’m a bit insecure so I always have a fresh roll sitting on top of the tank.![]()
How about a shoulder holder for $29.00.I just got over a 9 month allergic reaction that had me blowing my nose continuously all day and all through the sleeping hours. It was exhausting.

But the point of all this (finally) is that I had toilet paper rolls in four different rooms, not including bath rooms, any room where I spend at least 5 minute intervals during the day. My nose would not stop running. I don't see the point of boxed tissues other than they afford a kind of dignified luxury, that a roll of toilet paper lacks. I never looked at costs, but I expect TP is cheaper when you're needing it every two minutes.
I wondered about a toilet paper belt hanger like one of those change makers used in the old days by guys who sold newspapers at the corner stands. That would have been cool, but people might look at you funny.
