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 (20)

1. An embossed, multi-ply toilet tissue comprising a temporary wet strength agent and being void of permanent wet strength such that the embossed, multi-ply toilet tissue 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, multi-ply toilet tissue 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, multi-ply toilet tissue 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, multi-ply toilet tissue further exhibits a Basis Weight of greater than 15 to about 120 gsm as measured according to the Basis Weight Test Method.

5. The toilet tissue according to claim 4 wherein the embossed, multi-ply toilet tissue exhibits a Basis Weight of greater than 15 to less than 43.7 gsm as measured according to the Basis Weight Test Method.

6. The toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the embossed, multi-ply toilet tissue 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 6 wherein the embossed, multi-ply toilet tissue 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, multi-ply toilet tissue 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, multi-ply toilet tissue 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, multi-ply toilet tissue 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, multi-ply toilet tissue comprises cellulosic pulp fibers.

12. The toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the embossed, multi-ply toilet tissue ply comprises a throughdried fibrous structure ply.

13. The toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the embossed, multi-ply fibrous structure ply comprises an uncreped fibrous structure ply.

14. The toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the embossed, multi-ply toilet tissue is in roll form.

15. The toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the embossed, multi-ply toilet tissue comprises two or more fibrous structure plies.

16. The toilet tissue according to claim 15 wherein the embossed, multi-ply toilet tissue comprises three fibrous structure plies.

17. The toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the embossed, multi-ply toilet tissue comprises a creped fibrous structure ply.

18. The toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the embossed, multi-ply toilet tissue comprises a wet-laid fibrous structure ply.

19. A roll of toilet tissue comprising an embossed, multi-ply toilet tissue according to claim 1 .

20. A package comprising a plurality of rolls of toilet tissue according to claim 19 .
