Sue is troubled, and not just by all the troublesome things in the world.

She says it’s come to her attention that the cardboard tube within toilet paper rolls is becoming narrower.

Sue isn’t saying that toilet paper rolls are becoming smaller. Just the cardboard tube, which she says no longer reaches the edges of the roll.
