- a housing;
- a pair of members extending from said housing to distal ends;
- each of said pair of members having a first side surface and having a second side surface;
- a gap formed between said members from said distal ends to said housing;
- a pair of engagement points for said two ends of said spindle, a respective one of said pair of engagement points positioned at a respective said distal end of each of said pair of members, said pair of engagement points providing a mount for said spindle to an engaged position with each of said two ends of said spindle operatively engaged with a respective one of said pair of engagement points;
- cooperative mounts positioned on said second side surfaces of said members, said second side surfaces being opposite said first side surfaces, said cooperative mounts adapted for cooperative engagement with said mounts on said toilet paper fixture;
- a gap between said members extending substantially from said distal ends to said housing, said gap sized to accommodate a roll of toilet paper surrounding said spindle in said engaged position;
- at least one elongated slot formed across a first exterior surface of said housing;
- said slot having a width to accommodate a sliding of said toilet paper therethrough;
- said slot provides a means to guide said toilet paper therethrough and to maintain a distal end of said toilet paper, formed when a section of said toilet paper is torn from said roll, extending from said slot;
- a second said slot formed on a second exterior surface of said housing;
- said second exterior surface being on an opposite side of said housing from said first exterior surface;
- said spindle in said engaged positioned between said first and second slots;
- said housing having a cavity formed therein accessible through an aperture;
