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

    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.

      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.
