Standing on the tank lid counts as "vertical"; i.e., the roll's central axis is parallel to the wall, perpendicular to the floor.
If it's lying on its side (axis parallel to the floor) that's OK too. My only preference is that it be w/in reach and there's enough that I won't run out. That's the other great thing about using the tank lid, there's room for more than one just in case the current roll is getting low.
The reason I don't have/like hangers is b/c it's just another damn thing that has to be cleaned.

It's only happened to me once. I hurt my back and couldn't reach behind me w/ my right hand to grab the roll. When I went to use my left I bumped it w/ my elbow and it rolled off the tank onto the floor. But I presume that would've happened no matter which way it was oriented.

Doesn't it tend to roll off if it's on its side?
