I grew up in a household where the paper towels and toilet tissue always unrolled from the back. I don't know the reason... but that's the way we did it in my parents house.
When I married, my wife always set the roll toward the front. Her reasoning was, it's easier and you can see the print (when she bought designer rolls)
I could see this wasn't a battle I could win, so I got used to pulling sheets from the front of the roll.
I'd say most of America does it this way.
Over the years, I've maintained the 'over the front method' and refrain from telling others "Hey, you've got your toilet paper on the wrong way!"
Thanks for reading my blog...

What the heck, as long as the paper comes off, I'm a happy camper.

From the front is better, but the most important part is that there IS toilet paper.
I abhor those who either use the last of it, or close to the last of it,
and don't replace the roll.

I just piss on the whole roll, while it's still on the holder.
What doesn't get soaked up, and hits the floor, wall, vanity, or whatever.... ..
Well, that's someone elses problem.

Of course from the front.  It just makes it easier for paper towels or toilet paper.

Leave it to YOU, chat!
When I was growing up, it was always from the back.
When I came to be in charge of my own tp, it started rolling from the BACK!
My papertowles are on a stand up holder...so, they roll from the SIDE!

I could care less how my paper hangs, prefer a bidet anyway, but they are not so easy to find in this country. The Asian restaurants and nail salons near me have them , makes for a comfy tushie

I have never used a bidet.
...wouldn't even know how to.
The builders used to put them in houses around here all the time years ago.

I'm with Whatagal.. it rarely makes it to the holder.. besides, my OllieCat shreds it to pieces when it's on the holder.. I keep it on the shelf over the toilet.

Heck I wish in Asia they would have something that looked close to a toilet....what the hell is the hole in the ground thing and a rubber hose for? No paper??
The good hotels would have regular toilets....whew!
But to answer your question....under is better.....something one of my ex's taught me and just habit now I guess?

OMG!! Those people that have it roll of the bottom
Well, I NEVER!! I went out with this one gal for few months, things were going great!  oh my...I think it was love, or at least I thought was.
One day, she invited me over to her house, we were having such a lovely evening  couldn't be better, warm night, cool champagne, soft touches, fire was crackling.......ahhhhh
I excused myself to go use the facilities, took care of business and reached over for some toilet paper....
WOULD YOU BELIEVE!!!!!!!!!! SHE HAD THE FRIGGIN PAPER ROLLING OFF THE BOTTOM!!!  
Well, I was so upset, I climbed out the window and left likety split, never CALLED HER AGAIN
The nerve of some people

I was told that it's to be rolled from the front as you can see the end of the roll easily and you don't have to touch the whole roll with your hands because of sanitary reasons. Makes sence to me.

I always do mine from the back too. WE are odd people, I don't think it really matters if it's the back or the front, as long as there is some there when you need it

Someone invented a toilet paper holder that operates on a turntable. That way, those who like it from the front can spin it around. And those who like it from the back can spin it around.

I can't find an image right now, but it's been built...
