+ add your ownthank you so much!
We keep extra rolls in the cabinet within reach from a sitting position. All those extra rolls in the picture would be ruined from moisture after a couple of people showered. There are no bathroom windows in apartments and the humidity makes the toilet paper stick to itself and impossible to unroll. The soap holder idea was great, but the others are impractical. And the wicker basket? That thing would sag from the humidity too.
Interesting
The soap dish holder is quite attractive.
My family really doesn't care what is holding it, as long as it is there. I sort of like the "low-tech" holders. Apparently so does my son. He uses the edge of the bathtub!
ty
Over designed is passe. Let the simplicity of allowing a simple roll of toilet paper to just be functional makes the best sense in the world!
Thank you
I find the type of holder that holds the paper forces me to use more. I like the type where I can grab the roll off off and get what I need. Now I've taken to the holders that you remove center if you have it, insert a roll, and set them on the counter. No more tissues. All sorts of designs available.
I wanted to share that I find the tp in the US too soft, full of fuzz and flimsy. It is like wiping w/ a sweater. I prefer the tp that is more like a t-shirt and can take a sneeze if need be.
We get Loo roll holders which take about 5 toilet rolls at a time, made of stainless steel.
