The answer to this question is given in the second part of our material. In reality, everything is not as simple as it may seem at first glance.

What is important to remember

Toilet paper should be placed with the end facing outward so that it does not touch the wall.

The fact is that there may be pathogenic bacteria on the wall, which, when in contact with a person’s mucous membrane, may well enter his body.

In addition, American businessman Seth Wheeler, who is the inventor of toilet paper, also once spoke out on this issue.

As Wheeler emphasized, the end of the toilet roll should hang directly in front of him not only for safety but also for convenience.
