Aussies’ toilet habits revealed
To conclude our review, here are some light-hearted outcomes of our survey which offer an insight into how Aussies use toilet paper and what is considered proper toilet etiquette.
Scrunchers vs folders
The age-old debate – should you scrunch up your toilet paper or fold it up before wiping? Scrunchers argue that their method gives a better grip and keeps your hand further away from the ‘danger zone’, while proponents of folding claim that they are more efficient and can cover more ground… Both sides have good arguments, but which way is best? According to our survey, the answer is clear – fold it. Most Aussies (57%) said they fold their toilet paper, while 18% scrunch and 22% opt for a combination of scrunch and fold.
Roll over or under?

Another toilet paper debate – and one that can cause some ‘serious tension’ in households – is toilet paper roll orientation. When you put a new roll on the holder, do you position it so that it rolls over the top, or underneath from the bottom? We found that most Australians roll toilet paper over the top (64%), while a good chunk of respondents don’t have a preference (20%). Only 13% of people are dedicated under side rollers.
