This January, @Cottonelle brand sets out to settle this Great Debate once and for all. Everyone has an opinion on the right way to roll – over or under – and both points-of-view have been argued in households for ages.
Are you Team Over or Team Under?
How to Enter: Leave a comment on this post telling me which one you are – an over or an under and you will be entered to win 1 of 10 Cottonelle gift baskets randomly chosen by the Mom Bloggers Club on January 29, 2010.
Make sure you leave at least your first name and your email address in your comment at well. If you don’t want your email to be clickable then write it like this: name[AT]something.com
How the winners are chosen: I am not hosting this giveaway. The Mom Bloggers Club and Cottonelle is hosting it. However, you will enter the giveaway by posting your comment here and they will draw from the entries on this site and other blogger’s site combined.
After you leave your comment go on over to the Cottonelle Roll Poll and join in the vote for OVER or UNDER. It’s quick and easy.
As a member of the Mom Bloggers Club this post is actually my entry as a blogger into their giveaway. I am trying to win a month’s worth of Cottonelle toilet paper. Now depending on your family that could be 10 rolls or 100 rolls.
I'm definitely an OVER…too bad my husband is an UNDER!

I'm not that picky in regards to the way it hangs, as log as it makes it onto the roll and not left sitting on the sink, etc.

O.K. I KNEW THIS WOULD COME OUT ONE DAY. SO…
WELL… I MUST CONFESS, I AM AN OVER. NOW THAT MIGHT NOT SEEM LIKE A BIG DEAL, BUT IT GETS WORSE. I AM SO OBSESSED WITH IT, THAT WHEN VISITING FRIENDS I ABSOLUTELY MUST CHANGE THEIRS TO AN OVER. I KNOW, I KNOW, I HAVE A PROBLEM, BUT NOW THAT IT'S OUT IN THE OPEN, I CAN FINALLY SEEK HELP.

I'm an OVER! It's easier to find the end of the paper to start unrolling it that way.
UNDER
Confession … seeing the roll 'over' irritates me to the point where I have in the past switched it to under when at a relative's house and always at hotels. Reading the above posts I see I am not the only one who switches it around when seeing it in the 'wrong' position LOL so I am thrilled to see I am not alone in my toilet paper issues

I'm easy going. I guess I'm an over, but I don't really mind under either.

I use over.Because if it goes on under, the dog unrolls it all over he place. The end has to be on the top also.

I'm just happy when other people who are replacing it actually get it on the roll… I myself am an over type of gal.
I'm definitely an Over!
Over is the only way! Drives me nuts when people do it wrong!
I've always been and "OVER" gal, and I can't understand why anyone would have to search for the edge of the roll by having it "under".

Whenever I use a public restroom that has the roll under the paper gets stuck and rips off in small pieces. Very annoying especially when you have "business" to take care of. lol

I'm an over person and my hubby thinks there is a 12 step program for me because if someone else in our house puts up a roll under I have to change it to over…..lol.

No question here. If they ever bring back the designer sheets, then they must be displayed over. That's the only way to see the fabulous designs and colors.

I don't actually think it matters, but I guess my instinct is is that it should be rolled under.
stephan[email protected]
I always argue that OVER is the correct way! That's the way hotels do it (because they usually do it right). Can you image that perfectly folded traingle/point working if the roll were in the "under" position?

I'm an over gal, hubby is under and I will change it when he replaces the TP for 2 reasons.
1. We live in a log home and the TP roller is attached to one of the ruff logs. When reaching under to grab the end you scrap your knuckles on the logs.
2. In the middle of the night I do not turn on the lights and it is harder to find the end when it is on the under side.

UNDER! my husband and I battled over this for several months until I finally won.
I think it wastes the paper too easily when its over because if you pull too hard it unravels and ends up all over the floor. Who wants to use paper off the bathroom floor?
and yes, I change it in the hotel if I'm staying for more than a day!
