    Huh? I don't hang toilet paper at all, it's a waste of time and energy. Heck I don't even use it unless it's a donation. When you have nothing it's a waste of money, and then you learn how much better free unwanted clothes and blankets feel. They are also more effective and there is less risk of getting it on your hand. There is one in particular I like to wash and reuse.
