From the post:

>It's a cause of arguments in households around the world. And over 150 years since the toilet roll was invented, the question of how exactly it should be oriented still triggers furious debate. In the 'over' position, the next square of toilet paper is facing the user, while in the 'under' position, the next square of toilet paper is facing the wall. Now, a scientist has settled the debate once and for all. Dr Primrose Freestone, professor of clinical microbiology at the University of Leicester, says the 'under' orientation is actually safer and more effective, despite the image in the original toilet paper patent.

Bidet. Whatever direction the roll is posed to take becomes incidental and of no consequence since it is mostly decoration at least, or means to an end for blowing one's nose, at most.

Still need paper to dry off after the spray. Unless your bidet has a blower, I guess. Mine don't

Hell yeah mine does! But yeah, paper for the finer drying - which gets back to it no longer matters the direction, so long as it's over

Correct answer is it depends. For example, I can't use the under method in my dispensers at work because the TP is too thin and tears when 3 fresh rolls are loaded. But if you have cats, under is awesome cause if makes it hard for them to do their cat scratchy thing to it. I PREFER over personally, but it confuses me why we put so much thought into this.
