Slow release toilet roll holder... is there such a thing?

[ColdCottage]

Surely someone must have invented a toilet roll holder for peoples homes, which helps stop half the loo roll ending up on the floor when a small child gets to it??

Any ideas, tips, wild creations to save paper, the planet and pennies?

Thanks

I have the same issue so hoping someone has good advice!

Crazy, wild tip - put the thing out of your child's reach. It's free, too.

Flatten the toilet roll so the cardboard in the middle isn't round.
It won't unravel as easily.

Yes as above. Squeeze the roll a bit so it's not perfectly circular.

@PolPotNoodle

Always one sarcastic and rude one isn't there.. I don't think there is anything unless you want to buy a Tork dispenser but squeezing the loo roll helps as PP's mentioned

My old workplace used to have ones with a weighted metal flap that curved round over the loo roll.

Like this

Or this

Another one suggesting flattening the inner tube, it certainly slows the unraveling, however does apparently introduce a rather appealing noise as it does (Ber dum, Ber dum, Ber dum) adding to the attraction

This 😃

I've actually got those tork one sheet dispensers in my house- the same ones as you get in public toilets.
Out of necessity. My 6 year old is autistic and has a thing about flushing whole toilet rolls down the toilet, cardboard and all. There have been multiple plumber callouts for the same thing and the last time he was out I got a frequent user discount

Centrefeed toilet rolls for the dispensers are flipping expensive though- around £3 a roll.

Forgot to say you can get the dispensers on Ebay

OMG @ChameleonCircuit we used to have one of those. The mouth opened and closed as you unrolled.

Thank you all sorry phone went to sleep and been busy all day.

Good tips RE squishing the roll.

@Whatsnewpussyhat that was what I was looking for on Amazon last night. Where did you find them?

The frog one made me laugh

I just typed ''toilet roll holder with flap'
Into google.

I got so fed up a few weeks ago, I put a pile of neatly stacked seperated toilet roll sheets for DD to use a few at a time!

It lasted a day, then I gave her the roll back
