loo roll

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'item destined for bathroom' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'old men put in lounge' is the wordplay.
'old' becomes 'o' (abbreviation as in OT - Old Testament).
'men' becomes 'OR' (military abbreviation for Other Ranks).
'put in' is an insertion indicator.
'lounge' becomes 'loll' (both can mean to sit in a relaxed way).
'o'+'or'='oor'
'oor' going into 'loll' is 'LOO ROLL'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for loo roll that I've seen before include "paper from another room?" , "Bumph" , "cleaning sheets" , "Paper for ladies" , "sheets required by Pan" .)
