Abstract

Sanitary tissue products employing fibrous structures that exhibit novel combination of slip stick coefficient of friction and compressibility properties and methods for making same.

Claims (20)

1. A sanitary tissue product comprising a plurality of pulp fibers, wherein the sanitary tissue product exhibits a Slip Stick Coefficient of Friction of less than 625 (COF*10000) as measured according to the Slip Stick Coefficient of Friction Test Method and a Compressibility of greater than 36 mils/(log(g/in 2 )) as measured according to the Stack Compressibility and Resilient Bulk Test Method.

2. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 1 wherein the pulp fibers comprise wood pulp fibers.

3. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 1 wherein the pulp fibers comprise non-wood pulp fibers.

4. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 1 wherein the sanitary tissue product comprises an embossed fibrous structure ply.

5. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 1 wherein the sanitary tissue product comprises a 3D patterned fibrous structure ply.

6. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 5 wherein the 3D patterned fibrous structure ply comprises a through-air-dried fibrous structure ply.

7. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 6 wherein the sanitary tissue product comprises a creped through-air-dried fibrous structure ply.

8. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 6 wherein the through-air-dried fibrous structure ply is an uncreped through-air-dried fibrous structure ply.

9. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 5 wherein the 3D patterned fibrous structure ply comprises a fabric creped fibrous structure ply.

10. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 5 wherein the 3D patterned fibrous structure ply comprises a belt creped fibrous structure ply.

11. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 1 wherein the sanitary tissue product comprises a conventional wet-pressed fibrous structure ply.

12. A sanitary tissue product comprising at least one 3D patterned fibrous structure ply, wherein the sanitary tissue product exhibits a Slip Stick Coefficient of Friction of less than 625 (COF*10000) as measured according to the Slip Stick Coefficient of Friction Test Method and a Compressibility of greater than 36 mils/(log(g/in 2 )) as measured according to the Stack Compressibility and Resilient Bulk Test Method.

13. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 12 wherein the pulp fibers comprise wood pulp fibers.

14. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 12 wherein the pulp fibers comprise non-wood pulp fibers.

15. A creped sanitary tissue product comprising at least one 3D patterned fibrous structure ply comprising a plurality of pulp fibers, wherein the sanitary tissue product exhibits Slip Stick Coefficient of Friction of less than 740 as measured according to the Slip Stick Coefficient of Friction Test Method and a Compressibility of greater than 36 mils/(log(g/in 2 )) as measured according to the Stack Compressibility and Resilient Bulk Test Method.

16. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 15 wherein the pulp fibers comprise wood pulp fibers.

17. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 15 wherein the pulp fibers comprise non-wood pulp fibers.

18. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 15 wherein the 3D patterned fibrous structure ply is an embossed 3D patterned fibrous structure ply.

19. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 15 wherein the 3D patterned fibrous structure ply is a non-lotioned fibrous structure ply.

20. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 15 wherein the 3D patterned fibrous structure ply is a 3D patterned conventional wet-pressed fibrous structure ply.
