The question of how to hang toilet paper correctly - whether toilet paper should hang “over” or “under” the roll - continues to spark debate. In fact, 20% of users even turn the roll around if it’s hanging the “wrong” way. But the decision is not simply a matter of personal preference: hygiene, convenience and efficiency genuinely play a role here. Hygiene specialists clearly recommend hanging the toilet paper with the loose end facing forward over the roll.
Why? This setup prevents the paper from touching the wall when torn off, which is an important factor in reducing germ transfer. It also makes the paper easier to access and allows users to take the right amount quickly and comfortably. Less handling, less waste, fewer refills. Daily operations become both more hygienic and more efficient by hanging toilet paper correctly.
Modern toilet paper dispensers from CWS Hygiene are designed with these needs in mind. They not only store toilet paper hygienically but also support user comfort through ergonomic design, creating a smooth and intuitive experience. Small details such as correct placement and choosing an appropriate dispenser contribute significantly to cleaner, safer and better organised sanitary spaces, especially in high-traffic washrooms where people may follow different hygiene habits.
Every little protective measure counts, especially in heavily frequented public toilets, where many people with different hygiene standards are on the move.
