How do you stop the loo paper from getting wet?

Mine (then 3 and 6) topped that, g'mum. They decided to 'play' in the bath one day and turned half the house into a 'wet house'. Big insurance claim ensued. Moral - if boys are quiet, trouble is afoot!

If you want to instantly transform your bathroom into a wetroom without any outlay whatsoever, have my 2 grandsons (3 and 20 months) for a bath - they managed to transform the bathroom into a
soaking wetroom at a splashy stroke grin

Can you not get toilet roll holders with a sort of cover over the top section? I'm sure I've seen these in various hotels.

When I was a child we had a cast iron roll top bath on legs with no end of spiders etc underneath and my mum was never so happy as when she got rid of it and had a new "suite" fitted with flush panelled bath etc.
O tempora o mores!
BTW no idea what to do to keep the loopaper dry - plastic bag?

I can't help but think that the design of things in bathrooms didn't change much for a long time because everything was pretty much designed to suit the function of a bathroom/loo. Don't quite get all these modern designs..sinks too small to do much in and taps that you need instructions with to know how to turn them on/off etc.

I really like the look of the wet rooms on the property programmes and I used one recently when I was in hospital. I still really like the idea BUT when the loo is also in the wet room, the toilet paper gets wet. Everything gets wet. And the new shape wash basins (rectangles, shallow bowls, woodland stone dishes) seem to send the water swirling right round the bowl and over the edge. And what is the point of 'waterfall taps'? Why is a bath with a rolled edge better? Is it just me?
