The patent for the toilet paper roll clearly shows the roll going over. Any other way is user error.
I'm super confused why you got so many upvotes and I got so many downvotes. Were people just reading my comment wrong or something?
Edit: I realize the downvotes now. I missed the “never” in the comment I replied to
That patent expired more than a century ago.
Society has moved on.
People who hang it “under” are both wrong and unhygienic.

People who care this much about dunny paper must not have much else going on .
Here's a tip to ensure your toilet use is hygienic no matter howe the paper is stored: After you take a shit, wipe, then wash your hands
That wasn't the point being discussed, but good on you for knowing basic hygiene.
I replied to a comment saying one way of putting bog roll on is more hygienic...
Better yet, use a bidet and just use the paper to dry off.
