Abstract

Embossed multi-ply 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 being void of permanent wet strength, wherein the embossed multi-ply toilet tissue comprises hardwood pulp fibers and softwood pulp fibers such that the embossed multi-ply toilet tissues exhibits a Geometric Mean Elongation of greater than 15.8% as measured according to the Elongation Test Method.

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

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

4. The embossed multi-ply toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the embossed multi-ply toilet tissue exhibits a basis weight of greater than 15 gsm to about 120 gsm as measured according to the Basis Weight Test Method.

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

6. The embossed multi-ply toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the embossed multi-ply toilet tissue comprises one or more non-linear embossments.

7. The embossed multi-ply toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the embossed multi-ply toilet tissue comprises one or more linear embossments.

8. The embossed multi-ply toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the embossed multi-ply toilet tissue comprises one or more non-linear embossments and one or more linear embossments.

9. The embossed multi-ply toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the embossed multi-ply toilet tissue comprises at least one layered fibrous structure ply.

10. The embossed multi-ply 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.

11. The embossed multi-ply toilet tissue according to claim 10 wherein the embossed multi-ply toilet tissue exhibits a Geometric Mean Elongation of greater than 17% as measured according to the Elongation Test Method.
