Toilet paper, also called toilet roll or bathroom tissue, is a soft tissue product on perforated rolls, used for cleaning after defecation and urination and designed to flush safely.

Toilet paper orientation

Toilet paper orientation: whether a roll on a wall-parallel holder should hang over (away from the wall) or under. Seth Wheeler's 1891 patent drawings show over, but an 1890 patent shows under; Ann Landers drew 15,000 letters on the question.

Toilet training

Toilet training (potty training): process by which children learn bladder and bowel control. U.S. start 18–36 months; daytime dryness median 32.5–35 months; night dryness lags to ages 5–7; child-oriented and structured methods show no proven superiority.
