Toilet paper with extended edge (Option 2)
Across the bathroom hallway, we find the toilet paper with the edge extended. In this case, the loose end is right in front, ready to be grabbed.
Convenience: It’s incredibly easy to find the edge, grab it, and tear off just what you need. You don’t have to fumble around on cold bathroom tiles to find the hidden end.
Visual presentation: Many high-end toilet paper brands print attractive designs or textures. Hanging it with the edge extended ensures these designs are visible.
You might think it’s just a trivial preference, but scientists and hygiene experts have studied it! And their findings give a significant advantage to one side in particular.
According to the researchers, toilet paper with an extended edge (Option 2) is much cleaner and more hygienic.
Why hygiene experts prefer the overhead toilet paper hanging method:
When the toilet paper hangs in front of you, your fingers only touch the sheets you’re going to use. In contrast, when it hangs below, against the wall, your knuckles and fingers are much more likely to brush against the bathroom wall or the holder itself when you try to reach it.
