Away from home bath tissue like in hotels, businesses, public buildings, is all cheaper with recycle content and cheaper softwood. Any premium bath tissue like Charmin, Quilted Northern, Cottonelle, White Cloud, or the private label store brands are all made with Eucalyptus pulp from Brazil. Hardwoods = soft bright toilet paper. Softwood = stronger binding fibers because they are longer but makes a less soft sheet. Some companies use a cheaper softwood blend for the base ply sheet and then a mostly eucalyptus hardwood sheet for the top ply sheet.

Yeah, don't buy the one that has the slivers in it.
