I'm fitting our new bathroom and naturally want a toilet roll holder. In hotels you typically get a holder for 2 rolls, or a separate holder for the spare roll. In the bathroom suppliers I've looked in you can only get a single roll holder - I guess when it runs out they expect you to make your way to some cupboard with your trousers round your ankles. Is there a double roll holder on the market? How have others dealt with this (crocheted dolls over the spare roll is not an acceptable solution)?
Toilet roll holder dilemma

I've never seen a double ( or more ) toilet roll holder but you can certainly get things like Kitchen roll holders that hold "spare" rolls and sit on the floor ( usually) .There is one at least in the Argos catalogue . Try on-line bathroom accessory suppliers too

I keep my pack of toilet paper on the floor underneath the toilet roll holder. It collects dust, talcum powder etc. but I do know where salvation is! I have come across wall mounted holders for around 3 rolls - sorry, can't remember where.
How about a bog roll bandolier? You'll be ready for action wherever you go.

We have a white floor standing container that holds five rolls. It's refilled when there are four spaces..! It was manufactured with a silly 'drain hole' in the bottom, which I promptly blocked, since it just lets water *in*.
When my toilet roll is down to its last-but-one use, I remove the remaining tissue from the roll, change the roll to a new one, and leave the remains from the last roll neatly on top of the new roll ready to be used.

Just leave a spare roll on the cistern.
I have now trained myself to check that there's enough paper on the roll, before I sit down.
Ha...Thats exactly what I do as well

But do you make a pointy fold?

Oh for goodness sake! I can see this straying into the constant battle between SWMBO and self over whether the dangly bit should be at the back or the front of the roll. (Obviously, Mary, you're a fellow fronter with me on this one as there'd be little point in folding a pointy bit on a rear dangle . . .) Roger
What about the seat up/seat down thing?
How about a bigger toilet roll in the first instance?

I tend to only have one showing,as any more would give the impression to would be visitors you s*it a lot. make a box above the cistern for more TR's

I do that and wife does it when she remembers but the laddies (13 & 12) never do.
Thinking of which, reminded me of the label on Tesco's "new" 560g CHILLI Sauce, which states, amongst other items, "Once opened, keep refrigerated and consume wthin 3 days..." I live on my own - think about it...
That stuff's for schoolgirls.
This one, rated at 2 million Scovilles would last a day or two.

my personal favourite is this one at a slightly lower rating

At least you wouldn't make a headlong rush, only to find the door bolted.
