Abstract

Fibrous structures that exhibit a Geometric Mean Elongation of greater than 15.8% as measured according to the Elongation Test Method are provided.

Claims (16)

1. An embossed, multi-ply toilet tissue comprising a temporary wet strength agent, and is void of a permanent wet strength agent, and at least one embossed fibrous structure ply that exhibits a Geometric Mean Elongation of greater than 15.8% as measured according to the Elongation Test Method such that the embossed, multi-ply fibrous structure exhibits a Geometric Mean Elongation of greater than 15.8% as measured according to the Elongation Test Method.

2. The toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the embossed fibrous structure ply exhibits a Geometric Mean Elongation of greater than 16% as measured according to the Elongation Test Method.

3. The toilet tissue according to claim 2 wherein the embossed fibrous structure ply exhibits a Geometric Mean Elongation of greater than 17% as measured according to the Elongation Test Method.

4. The toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the embossed fibrous structure ply further exhibits a Basis Weight of less than 43.7 gsm as measured according to the Basis Weight Test Method.

5. The toilet tissue according to claim 4 wherein the embossed fibrous structure ply exhibits a Basis Weight of less than 42.8 gsm as measured according to the Basis Weight Test Method.

6. The toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the embossed fibrous structure ply further exhibits a Dry Burst of greater than 100 g as measured according to the Dry Burst Test Method.

7. The toilet tissue according to claim 5 wherein the embossed fibrous structure ply exhibits a Dry Burst of greater than 100 g to about 1000 g as measured according to the Dry Burst Test Method.

8. The toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the embossed fibrous structure ply further exhibits a Dry Burst of less than 660 g as measured according to the Dry Burst Test Method.

9. The toilet tissue according to claim 8 wherein the embossed fibrous structure ply exhibits a Dry Burst of from about 100 g to less than 660 g as measured according to the Dry Burst Test Method.

10. The toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the embossed fibrous structure ply further exhibits a Geometric Mean Modulus of greater than 758 at 15 g/cm as measured according to the Modulus Test Method.

11. The toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the embossed fibrous structure ply comprises cellulosic pulp fibers.

12. The toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the embossed fibrous structure ply is a throughdried fibrous structure ply.

13. The toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the embossed fibrous structure ply is an uncreped fibrous structure ply.

14. The toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the embossed, multi-ply fibrous structure is a sanitary tissue product.

15. The toilet tissue according to claim 14 wherein the sanitary tissue product is in roll form.

16. The toilet tissue according to claim 14 wherein the sanitary tissue product is toilet tissue.
