Abstract

Fibrous structures that exhibit a Dry Burst of greater than 100 g and a Cross-Machine Direction Flexural Rigidity (CD Flexural Rigidity) of greater than 56 mg*cm 2 /cm as measured according to the Flexural Rigidity Test Method and/or a Total Dry Tensile (TT or TDT) of less than 3000 g/76.2 mm as measured according to the Tensile Strength Test Method and/or a Geometric Mean Tensile (GM Tensile or GMT) of less than 750 g/76.2 mm as measured according to the Tensile Strength Test Method and/or a Machine Direction Modulus (MD Modulus) of less than 900 g/cm as measured according to the Modulus Test Method are provided.

Claims (34)

1. A single-ply, through-air-dried, embossed fibrous structure that exhibits a Dry Burst of greater than 205 g to less than 270 g as measured according to the Dry Burst Test Method.

2. The single-ply, through-air-dried, embossed fibrous structure according to claim 1 wherein the single-ply, through-air-dried, embossed fibrous structure comprises cellulosic pulp fibers.

3. The single-ply, through-air-dried, embossed fibrous structure according to claim 1 wherein the single-ply, through-air-dried, embossed fibrous structure is an uncreped, single-ply, through-air-dried, embossed fibrous structure.

4. The single-ply, through-air-dried, embossed fibrous structure according to claim 1 wherein the single-ply, through-air-dried, embossed fibrous structure is a sanitary tissue product.

5. A single-ply, embossed fibrous structure that exhibits a Dry Burst of greater than 100 g to less than 270 g as measured according to the Dry Burst Test Method and a Total Dry Tensile of less than 1560 g/76.2 mm as measured according to the Tensile Strength Test Method.

6. The single-ply, embossed fibrous structure according to claim 5 wherein the single-ply, embossed fibrous structure comprises cellulosic pulp fibers.

7. The single-ply, embossed fibrous structure according to claim 5 wherein the single-ply, embossed fibrous structure is a through-air-dried, single-ply, embossed fibrous structure.

8. The single-ply, embossed fibrous structure according to claim 5 wherein the single-ply, embossed fibrous structure is an uncreped, single-ply, embossed fibrous structure.

9. The single-ply, embossed fibrous structure according to claim 5 wherein the single-ply, embossed fibrous structure is a sanitary tissue product.

10. A single-ply, embossed fibrous structure that exhibits a Dry Burst of greater than 220 g to less than 290 g as measured according to the Dry Burst Test Method and a GM Tensile of less than 647 g/76.2 mm as measured according to the Tensile Strength Test Method.

11. The fibrous structure according to claim 10 wherein the fibrous structure comprises cellulosic pulp fibers.

12. The fibrous structure according to claim 10 wherein the fibrous structure is a through-air-dried fibrous structure.

13. The fibrous structure according to claim 10 wherein the fibrous structure is an uncreped fibrous structure.

14. The fibrous structure according to claim 10 wherein the fibrous structure is a sanitary tissue product.

15. A single-ply, embossed fibrous structure that exhibits a GM Tensile of less than 647 g/76.2 mm as measured according to the Tensile Strength Test Method.

16. The single-ply fibrous structure according to claim 15 wherein the fibrous structure comprises cellulosic pulp fibers.

17. The single-ply fibrous structure according to claim 15 wherein the fibrous structure is a through-air-dried fibrous structure.

18. The single-ply fibrous structure according to claim 15 wherein the fibrous structure is an uncreped fibrous structure.

19. The single fibrous structure according to claim 15 wherein the fibrous structure is a sanitary tissue product.

20. The single-ply fibrous structure according to claim 15 wherein the single-ply fibrous structure exhibits a Dry Burst of less than 290 g as measured according to the Dry Burst Test Method.

21. A single-ply, through-air-dried, embossed fibrous structure that exhibits a Dry Burst of greater than 100 g to less than 290 g as measured according to the Dry Burst Test Method and a GM Tensile of less than 750 g/76.2 mm as measured according to the Tensile Strength Test Method.

22. The single-ply, through-air-dried, embossed fibrous structure according to claim 21 wherein the single-ply, through-air-dried, embossed fibrous structure comprises cellulosic pulp fibers.

23. The single-ply, through-air-dried, embossed fibrous structure according to claim 21 wherein the single-ply, through-air-dried, embossed fibrous structure is an uncreped, single-ply, through-air-dried, embossed fibrous structure.

24. The single-ply, through-air-dried, embossed fibrous structure according to claim 21 wherein the single-ply, through-air-dried, embossed fibrous structure is a sanitary tissue product.

25. A single-ply, embossed, wet-laid fibrous structure that exhibits a Dry Burst of greater than 225 g to less than 650 g as measured according to the Dry Burst Test Method and a MD Modulus of less than 900 g/cm at 15 g/cm as measured according to the Modulus Test Method.

26. The fibrous structure according to claim 25 wherein the fibrous structure comprises cellulosic pulp fibers.

27. The fibrous structure according to claim 25 wherein the fibrous structure is a through-air-dried fibrous structure.

28. The fibrous structure according to claim 25 wherein the fibrous structure is an uncreped fibrous structure.

29. The fibrous structure according to claim 25 wherein the fibrous structure is a sanitary tissue product.

30. A single-ply, embossed, wet-laid fibrous structure that exhibits a Dry Burst of greater than 100 g as measured according to the Dry Burst Test Method and a MD Modulus of less than 900 g/cm at 15 g/cm as measured according to the Modulus Test Method.

31. The single-ply, embossed fibrous structure according to claim 30 wherein the single-ply, embossed fibrous structure comprises cellulosic pulp fibers.

32. The single-ply, embossed fibrous structure according to claim 30 wherein the single-ply, embossed fibrous structure is a through-air-dried, single-ply, embossed fibrous structure.

33. The single-ply, embossed fibrous structure according to claim 30 wherein the single-ply, embossed fibrous structure is an uncreped, single-ply, embossed fibrous structure.
