And you're right Twisty and N4S (in another thread) this is a banner day for TWF!!! :puke: :twfrox:

Looks like coming out the top is wining!! and somebody else voted for "what's TP". cause I know one of those 2 votes was me!!

In the back or on the bottom. (my wife has me trained) :lol:

OK, I finely found out why My wife insist on the TP rolling of the back or bottom. Its because of the cat. :bash: If he decides to claw the paper it just spins in stead of unrolling. Pretty and smart, I love her. :hug:

if the top is the omerwheling majority of support why the hell is it always from the bottom????? the TP nazis dispense it improperly i guess

OVER THE TOP....and I'm anal about it too. No idea why, I just am. :cursin:

OVER THE TOP....and I'm anal about it too. No idea why, I just am. :cursin: I'm with Chev on this one. Over the top, and no other way. And damit, if you almost finish the roll make sure there is a fresh roll on "reserve"!!! :cursin:

I would have never thought you 2 would be so TP nazi like! :lol: Too funny!!!

I would have never thought you 2 would be so TP nazi like! :lol: Too funny!!! You know it. Dont mess with me and TP or you're likely to get an "Upper Decker" :dthumb:

I would have never thought you 2 would be so TP nazi like! :lol: Too funny!!! Oh..............I am. You should see how pissed I get. It's kind of funny actually. I'm usually laid back about everything too. :bash:

IT IS SUPPOSE TO BE ON TOP! FOLLOW PICTURE! And personally I prefer the "double" roll (X-Large). :dthumb: :flush:

Is this what you mean by "bottom"???? :withstupi

I mean, you can understand my confusion when I see thread title of "TP Direction," I thought it was like a Public Service Announcement letting all of us know the proper way to use TP. :dthumb:

:lol: Here... just to keep all this toilet tissue fun going, I'll post up a lil sumthin' I wrote about 5 years ago. It's... er... a product review of toilet paper, published on a consumer review website. ---------------------- The Northern vs. Cottonelle Roadtest! Oct 13 '00 (Updated Oct 13 '00) Pros Northern -- Unscented, quilted, tears easily from the roll, very absorbent Cons Cottonelle -- Not as absorbent, doesn't 'clean' as well a Northern Full Review Today we are going to examine a very vital part of daily life -- household paper products, including (but not limited to) facial tissue, paper towels, napkins, and my personal favorite, bathroom tissue! Please be sure to check out the other authors who have participated in this project! And enjoy! Why bathroom tissue? Let’s face it. Life without bathroom tissue (or as we shall refer to it from here on out, ”TP”) is very unpleasant. There are few household items that have as much importance on our daily existence -- even food does not play as important a role. Sometimes we can go weeks without a trip to the grocery store - if you run out of food, you can always order pizza. Run out of laundry detergent, you can always drop your stuff off at the cleaners. But run out of toilet paper? Well that’s a dire enough emergency to send ya running to the nearest quickie mart in the middle of the night! We’ve seen the TV ads recently -- two young men in the checkout line with their groceries, suddenly realizing they don’t have enough money for all of their purchases. The cashier begins to take items off the bill one by one, until they are left with only two items -- beer and toilet paper. Now for the sake of humor in the ad, the guys opt for the beer. But in real life? Come on, we all know we’d choose TP over brews! The Great Debate In our house, TP has been the cause of great debates, almost knock-down, drag-out fights, because my (now ex-)husband and I prefer very different varieties of tissue. He prefers a more abrasive variety, something with a little grit to it. I prefer a softer touch, with a gentle texture. When we met, he kept his bathroom equipped with Kleenex Cottonelle Bathroom Tissue, where I had a strong preference for Quilted Northern Bathroom Tissue. For four years now, this has been an on-again, off-again battle, each of us insisting that our brand is superior to the other. So follow me on my journey as I examine each of these brands, weigh the pros and cons, and try to determine which is the better tissue! QUILTED NORTHERN vs. COTTONELLE The Stats Both brands are sold in a variety of packages, from 4-packs to 16-packs, and both single rolls (300 sheets) as well as double rolls (600 sheets). The cost is nearly identical, and varies slightly from store to store, as well as the size of the package you buy. But on average, the cost per sheet is $0.002492 for Northern, and $0.002383 for Cottonelle. Each roll appears to be approximately the same size (the Northern measures 4.75” across, while the Cottonelle measures 4.25”). However while the Northern may appear slightly larger, this can be attributed to the tightness of the roll itself -- due to the ‘quilted’ texture of the Northern, it is rolled slightly looser, giving the roll a slightly softer, squishier feel. A single sheet of either brand measures 4” x 4.5”. Corporate Jargon In order to learn as much as I possibly could about our two contestants, I checked out the corporate websites of both parent companies. Here is what each had to say about their tissue... Quilted Northern: “Quilted Northern bathroom tissue has long been a favorite among consumers; it's the second-largest seller in the market. And now it's even better! Improved Quilted Northern offers: * a better quilted clean * 20 percent thicker sheets * increased wet strength (4 times stronger when wet) * more absorbent than ever before * 3 times less lint than Charmin®” Kleenex Cottonelle: “Kleenex Cottonelle toilet paper is innovatively designed with Cushy Ripples to help give you a clean, fresh feeling. With patented Cushy Ripples, it's easy to see why feeling clean is the bottom line with Kleenex Cottonelle toilet paper! And, like always, Kleenex Cottonelle is gentle on your skin and contains no dyes, perfumes or inks.” Alright, with that in mind, we can now move along to the testing portion of this study. The Touch Test Since I am partial to one of the brands being tested here (and I knew which roll was which), I employed my husband in this very scientific experiment. I approached him in the den, pulled out a blindfold and asked him to put it on. Then (forgetting he couldn’t see) I presented him with the first roll. He sat there, motionless. I said, “Touch it!” He laughed, and blindly groped around, until he felt the roll of TP. He grasped it, squeezed it, stroked it, rubbed it against his cheek, bringing a smile to his face ... at this point, I was beginning to envy the roll of TP. I snatched it from him and instructed him to do the same to the other roll. Again, he squeezed it, felt the thickness of the individual sheet, tested the overall softness of the roll, and then returned to the first one to compare the two. After a few minutes, he made his decision. While the Northern feels squishier on the roll, we attribute this to the looser nature of the roll, while the Cottonelle is in fact softer to the touch. Winner: Cottonelle. The Sniff Test Both brands are unscented, as well as free of dyes or other allergens. However, as we all know, unscented does not always indicate a total absence of scent. Again, with the blindfold on, I instructed my lab partner to sniff each roll. Sniff sniff. Sniff sniff. (There is very little I can say to describe the Sniff Test process). Alright, well, we both agreed that the Cottonelle has a very very slight smell of cardboard. Not a strong odor, but a scent nonetheless. The Northern has no smell. None whatsoever. Completely free of olfactory stimulants. Winner: Northern. The Taste Test Did you really think I was going to EAT this stuff? Hah!! I’m a little crazy at times, but I’m not totally off my rocker yet. Let’s move along now. The Rip and Tear Test I don’t know about you, but I like my bathroom tissue to tear off neatly. I like it torn along the perforated line (that IS what it’s there for!) and I don’t like any little jagged edges to be leftover. With some less expensive brands of tissue, the perforations are not made well, causing the paper to tear unevenly, leaving an unsightly edge when you’re done. Also, some two-ply tissues tend to separate as you tear, leaving an orphaned layer of one sheet clinging for it’s life to the rest of the roll. To perform this test, we simply installed the rolls of tissue (one at a time) in our guest bathroom, and ripped. And ripped. And ripped. We did a series of 20 sheets per roll, and then checked the results. Although it was a close race, the Northern performed better overall. While both tear cleanly the better percentage of the time, the Cottonelle did have a tendency to separate. Winner: Northern. The All-Important Absorbency Test Well, I was in quite a quandary as to the best method to test the absorbency (and more importantly, how to describe the test, and still make it past the Epinions Censors). Then I had a brainstorm. Tearing off a single two-ply sheet of each brand, I placed them flat on my kitchen counter. I then filled a glass with warm water, and pulled out my measuring spoons. I then pouted water alternately on each sheet, 1/4 Teaspoon at a time, until both were completely saturated. I was amazed at just how much water a single sheet of TP can hold! But there was a clear winner. While the Cottonelle could hold (barely) 1-1/2 Teaspoons, the Quilted Northern held a whopping 1-3/4 Teaspoons of water! Winner: Northern. The Clean Sweep Test Alright, well there is no delicate way to test the cleaning abilities of TP other than by it’s intended purpose. I’ll leave out the gory details, but I will preface the results by telling you that my husband was again my test subject for this experiment, and following a late lunch at the local Mexican Restaurant (while I love Mexican food, it tends to wreak havoc on my husband’s bowels), he was more than ready for the test. This test actually took a few trips to the ...er....lab,, but we did have a clear winner in the end (no pun intended). Winner: Hands down, the Northern! The Wet Strength Test One of the cutest TP commercials ever featured a young boy unraveling a roll of tissue to form a bridge across the bathroom to the tub. Then he takes a (wet) elephant toy from the tub and has it ‘walk’ across the TP bridge. Well, the only toys I have at the moment are my Baby Furby and my Beanie Babies, none of which should get wet. Hmmm... So, back to the kitchen I went. I searched the pantry and ‘fridge for a viable test subject. Ahhh!! Eggland’s Best Jumbo Eggs! Perfect! I had my husband unroll a length of about 5 sheets of the Cottonelle, and hold it out in front of him. I misted the expanse of TP with water, then took an egg from the carton, and gingerly placed it upon the paper. SPLAT! The egg went crashing to the floor (and made quite a mess). Hmm. Well, with a slight feeling of doom in the pit of my stomach, I had him do the same with the Northern (I waited to clean up the mess, in the event that the second test had the same disastrous results). Again, I misted the paper, then nervously glanced at my husband as I reached for another egg. Carefully, gently, I placed the egg on the -- SPLAT! We found no clear winner in the wet-strength category. Winner: Draw! And the Final Verdict? Well, with a final score of 4-to-1 in favor of Quilted Northern, my tissue of choice came through with flying colors! With points in scent, ease of tear, cleaning-power and absorbency, I’m willing to sacrifice a little softness for an all-around better bathroom tissue.

that's a lot of :reading: about TP!

that's a lot of :reading: about TP! :lol: you think it's a lot of READING... you should have tried WRITING it!! :yikes:

:lol: you think it's a lot of READING... you should have tried WRITING it!! :yikes: I just hope you didn't write it while on the pot!... talk about a sever case of toilet butt!

I just hope you didn't write it while on the pot!... talk about a sever case of toilet butt! Oh holy hell no.... Geez, it'd have taken weeks to regain feeling in my feet if I were seated on the throne for that long!

Better yet... who was the test person! :lol:

Better yet... who was the test person! :lol: :rofl3:

Ebbs :wtf: is up w/ you digging up old ass threads. The last post in this thread before yours was damn near a year ago. With that said...it is absolutely imperative that the TP be hanging over the front. Any other way is completely and totally unacceptable. Good work Ebbs the :whore: on another solid dig.

But Marko... you obviously don't have cats! If you hang it over the front...the little kities bat at it like its a toy and then its all on the ground!!

This was the first poll I ever voted on. Cats will dominate the toilet roll. Luckily my cat now doesn't even touch it, so i leave it on the top. Jeep's wife had a good solution though. Put it to the back so it'll just keep spinning. Have fun trying to wipe your ass with itty bitty peices of TP because all the little nail holes will make it hard to tear off a full sheet.

But Marko... you obviously don't have cats! If you hang it over the front...the little kities bat at it like its a toy and then its all on the ground!! Bingo...no kats.

DL...you speak from expierence... :lol: At my house, we don't leave the dispenser loaded... keep it on the shelf behind the throne!

:rofl3: PERFECT!! :rofl:

no cats for me, but I have to have the dispenser loaded at all times and my TP had to be dispensed on top. I also need soft TP, that stuff they have at work is like wiping my @ss with sand paper! Also :rofl3: on that pic Ace!!!

:rofl3: PERFECT!! :rofl: :withstupi :lol:
