Abstract

Fibrous structures that exhibit a Geometric Mean Modulus (GM Modulus) of less than 1402.4 g/cm at 15 g/cm as measured according to the Modulus Test Method described herein and a Geometric Mean Elongation (GM Elongation or GM Elong) of less than 10.2% measured according to the Elongation Test Method described herein are provided.

Claims (7)

1. An embossed, through-air-dried, creped fibrous structure that exhibits a GM Modulus of less than 1402.4 g/cm at 15 g/cm as measured according to the Modulus Test Method and a GM Elongation of less than 10.2% as measured according to the Elongation Test Method.

2. The fibrous structure according to claim 1 wherein the fibrous structure exhibits a GM Modulus of less than 1050 g/cm at 15 g/cm as measured according the Modulus Test Method.

3. The fibrous structure according to claim 2 wherein the fibrous structure exhibits a GM Modulus of less than 1000 g/cm at 15 g/cm as measured according the Modulus Test Method.

4. The fibrous structure according to claim 3 wherein the fibrous structure exhibits a GM Modulus of less than 975 g/cm at 15 g/cm as measured according the Modulus Test Method.
