Rolls of toilet paper, like the kind you have in your bathroom now, have been in use for just over 100 years, but there is no one person who is credited with its invention. England was the first place where paper was manufactured just for use in the toilet (or "loo" as it's called in that country). Toilet paper rolls first appeared in the United States the late 1800's. Toilet paper didn't become common until later (like the 1920's) because people could "recycle" old catalogs.
