Pivoting Toilet Paper Holder
Pivoting Toilet Paper Holder
The simple bathroom upgrade that makes a real difference for LP adults and children — why a pivoting holder beats a standard one every time.
How many times has this happened to you? “Mom! Dad! Come help me in the bathroom!” No, it’s not a normal potty emergency.
You cautiously go to the bathroom and find your child pointing to the potty while making a face-palm gesture. Holding onto the spring-loaded toilet paper holder is hard enough for adults. But with children’s small hands — especially the hands of a dwarf child — controlling this unfortunate device can be extremely difficult. We wanted our six year old LP child to be independent enough to simply change a toilet paper roll. With a small palm and just being six, it was easy to understand that this accident could happen. But we can help make sure it does not!
After the paper roll holder ended up in the potty again, first we took the above picture — and immediately after we ordered a Moen Pivoting Toilet Paper Holder. We had previously installed one as part of a Master Bath remodel (Dwarf Dad’s favorite part!) and it’s well worth the approximately $30 depending on the finish.
The Solution — Moen Pivoting Toilet Tissue Holder
Simply put, the pivoting toilet paper holder swings up for you to take off the old roll, put the new one on, and then it swings back down and locks in place. You — or your child — will no longer end up with a toilet paper roll or toilet paper roll holder in the toilet again. We highly recommend it.
The pivoting arm swings up to load a new roll and locks back down — no spring tension, no fumbling, no dropping the holder in the toilet. Available in multiple finishes to match your bathroom hardware. About $30 and one of the best small bathroom upgrades an LP family can make.
