Works for Me Wednesday: The Toilet Paper Diaries

Remember this sweet child.


Well when she doesn't have a sucker in her hand she isn't as darling! Okay, she is, but she REALLY likes to play in the bathroom. She loves EVERYTHING about the bathroom. The little bottles of shampoo in the bottom drawer. Q-tips! Oh She is GOOD at dumping out all the Q-tips!! Playing in the toilet water if the seat isn't down. Oh and her FAVORITE is unrolling ALL of the toilet paper. The double roll of Charmin that covers the whole bathroom like freshly fallen snow.

But I have a trick. A trick that works for me and I think it will work for you if you have one of these cute little T.P. unrollers in your house!

See this poor roll so squished Charmin. I did that on PURPOSE! If you squish the roll REALLY good then it doesn't unroll nicely once on the toilet paper holder. It makes it a little annoying for the big people in the house, but for the little ones it takes ALL the fun out of pulling that little piece of white joy! And if you have medium sized ones in your house it can keep them from overusing the toilet paper (if they have that problem) because it is WAY too much work for a 5 year old to bother unrolling too much toilet paper! But the BEST result is no more toilet paper snow in your bathroom.

Try it. It works for me!

Thanks for the toilet paper idea. I am definately going to try it . I too have one who loves to unroll them and one that uses way too much at one time. John says it is because they are girls.

good idea! The kids are the only ones that use their bathroom, so it won't have to annoy me, and I can save money on wasted toilet paper.

That is very smart. That would probably work for someone who has a pet that loves to play with the toilet paper too. Thanks for sharing.

great idea on the toilet paper! And I HATE when my kids play in the bathroom. So disgusting. No matter how much I clean it, it's still a BATHROOM! Or sit on the floor or touch the toilet or ick ick ick!!!!
