Why is some toilet paper really hard, and some really soft?

because they use different material than each other

I don't have an answer for you except that it has something to do with the softness of the lead, I think.  But that made me laugh, so thanks for that, and thanks for the 2  :-)

I'm sure it's good ole American toilet paper. Probably it's something pretty good, just as good the best you can get at the Wal-mart, but a different brand that you can't buy at the store, because the government has to have their own suppliers to have some type of control. I'm sure every toilet paper gets checked for safety before he uses it.\nIt's probably equivalent to Scott's extra soft.

Because when it's hard to tear the paper (newspaper, computer paper, whatever) you're going against the grain of the paper. In that: paper is formed smuching lots of little peices of pulp together, and usually all the pulp is facing one way, if you tear it in a way that goes with it, then it's easy to tear, if you tear the other way you get the zigzag thing that happens because you are tearing it across the line of pulp. Understand? Kind of?

I prefer to use toilet paper.

We are dealing with an illusion caused by grain size and moisture content here.  In fact sand is quite hard because it is made up of individual rock and mineral grains.  Limestone and quartz are pretty hard materials.  If a sand is damp, or has very small rounded grains, it can feel soft to the hand however.\n\nClays on the other hand are soft because they are created by the chemical weathering of other minerals (such as pyroxene or feldspar) and the individual clay units are microscopic in size.  Clays usually contain a high proportion of water in their structure as well (it can be as high as 70%).\n\nWhen a geologist in the field can't make out the whether a rock is a siltstone (clastic) or clay (chemical) because the grain sizes are too small to see, a simple test is to break off a small fragment put it between ones teeth.  If its chewy and soft, its a clay.  If its hard and gritty, its a silt. \n(Warning - experts only folks.  Some rocks contain poisonous minerals so don't go around randomly tasting rocks.)

A simple answer to a vague question:\n\nMostly the brain is soft.  The areas of a healthy brain that are "harder" would be the areas that have a higher density of cells, or cell processes.  For instance, the white matter in the brain are areas where cells arms (axons) are packed tightly into a highway traveling to another part of the brain or heading south to eventually become the spinal cord.  These areas are "harder" or more dense compared to the cortex areas (gray tissue) where the cell bodies sit.\n\nIn diseased brain tissue areas can become extremely dense.  A good example is when tumors form.  These can be round balls of cells all clumped together.  Another example is when people have Alzheimer's disease, their cells produce amyloid plaques - or a hard crystallized by-product that ends up collecting in areas like the hippocampus (responsible for memory).  These "hardened" areas interfere with normal brain functions like remembering stuff.\n\nNow, as for texture.  The brain areas I have felt all are smooth, wet, and feel very similar.  There is a fatty layer over most neurons (nerve cells) called myelin.  It makes most brain tissue feel buttery.\n\nI hope this answers your question, but I wonder why you ask it.

Talk about how paper is made.

They get dry from water retention and a lack of fiber. Maybe if you haven't been eating alot it can also make it hard.

It just means you had a solid dump and it's nothing to worry about now if you had a loose dump you might use half the roll of toilet paper. look at it this way YOU SAVED ON TOILET PAPER.  {_i_}

The toilet paper in my opinion needs to come off the top, otherwise you are always searching for it hanging back in the back. But to solve your problem either use separate bathrooms where you can each have the toilet paper like you want or hang up two rolls next to each other in the bathroom you share, or one of you will need to decide to put aside your wishes for the other's toilet paper happiness.  If this is the worst of your problems then you two must have a terrific relationship. Congratulations! =)

I generally go through a roll every other day.\n\nI am a pretty hefty guy and eat a lot, so I guess maybe I need a bit more toilet paper than the average.
