Are westerners being robbed of TP when we get the hollow rolls? Is communism the right path after all?

toilet paper without cardboard roll centers are much cheaper to produce, though impossible to place in a toilet paper holder, so they sit on the sink, or the floor, or a long nail in the wall

Tbf I can't remember the last time I used a toilet paper holder.

you use it to place the roll standing on top

I mean, it's own toilet roll, Micheal. What could it cost, 10 dollars?

Do they not have holders specifically designed for it? Could just have two rollers that support it from the bottom.

We used to have one at home. It's like a clam shell -- the roll sits in the bottom half, the hinged top half closes on top, and the paper is threaded through a wide gap.

It was popular in former Soviet territories. My guess is that many households only had poorly-built outhouses and no reliable supply of toilet paper, and this design protected the roll from water damage.

Well look at the genius who figured out the sea shells!

Did you model that whole thing just to show us what you meant?

That's awesome dude, nice work! I wish I were this good in blender. I have to use CAD to make my models and then export them to the scene in blender. It's an annoying workflow but I'm just not good at "traditional" modeling in blender

There are plastic containers similar to box tissue but are round with a hole in the middle of the lid. Then you pull the toilet paper from the center of the roll.

they have tp holders for those tubeless rolls. It's hung on the wall like a box with a slit at the bottom to pull the tp through.

My rolls already do this, guess I should try these
