Abstract

Sanitary tissue products employing fibrous structures that exhibit novel compressibility properties alone and in combination with plate stiffness properties and methods for making same.

Claims (21)

1. A sanitary tissue product comprising at least one creped, through-air-dried fibrous structure ply comprising a plurality of pulp fibers, wherein the sanitary tissue product exhibits a Compressibility of greater than 38.0 mils/(log(g/in 2 )) as measured according to the Stack Compressibility and Resilient Bulk Test Method and a Plate Stiffness of less than 5.20 N*mm as measured according to the Plate Stiffness 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 exhibits a Compressibility of greater than 40.0 mils/(log(g/in 2 )) as measured according to the Stack Compressibility and Resilient Bulk Test Method.

6. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 5 wherein the sanitary tissue product exhibits a Compressibility of greater than 42.0 mils/(log(g/in 2 )) as measured according to the Stack Compressibility and Resilient Bulk Test Method.

7. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 6 wherein the sanitary tissue product exhibits a Compressibility of greater than 46.0 mils/(log(g/in 2 )) as measured according to the Stack Compressibility and Resilient Bulk Test Method.

8. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 7 wherein the sanitary tissue product exhibits a Compressibility of greater than 47.0 mils/(log(g/in 2 )) as measured according to the Stack Compressibility and Resilient Bulk Test Method.

9. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 8 wherein the sanitary tissue product exhibits a Compressibility of greater than 49.0 mils/(log(g/in 2 )) as measured according to the Stack Compressibility and Resilient Bulk Test Method.

10. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 9 wherein the sanitary tissue product exhibits a Compressibility of greater than 50.0 mils/(log(g/in 2 )) as measured according to the Stack Compressibility and Resilient Bulk Test Method.

11. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 1 wherein the sanitary tissue product exhibits a Compressibility of greater than 38.0 to 68.4 mils/(log(g/in 2 )) as measured according to the Stack Compressibility and Resilient Bulk Test Method.

12. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 1 wherein the sanitary tissue product exhibits a Plate Stiffness of less than 5.00 N*mm as measured according to the Plate Stiffness Test Method.

13. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 12 wherein the sanitary tissue product exhibits a Plate Stiffness of less than 4.00 N*mm as measured according to the Plate Stiffness Test Method.

14. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 13 wherein the sanitary tissue product exhibits a Plate Stiffness of less than 3.50 N*mm as measured according to the Plate Stiffness Test Method.

15. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 14 wherein the sanitary tissue product exhibits a Plate Stiffness of less than 2.50 N*mm as measured according to the Plate Stiffness Test Method.

16. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 1 wherein the sanitary tissue product exhibits a Plate Stiffness of less than 5.20 to 1.26 N*mm as measured according to the Plate Stiffness Test Method.

17. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 1 wherein the sanitary tissue product exhibits a Slip Stick Coefficient of Friction of less than 500 (COF*10000) as measured according to the Slip Stick Coefficient of Friction Test Method.

18. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 1 wherein the sanitary tissue product is a single-ply bath tissue.

19. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 1 wherein the sanitary tissue product is a multi-ply bath tissue.

20. A sanitary tissue product roll comprising a sanitary tissue product according to claim 1 .

21. A package comprising one or more sanitary tissue product rolls according to claim 20 .
