Abstract

Thick and absorbent and/or flexible toilet tissue and methods for making same are provided.

Claims (20)

1. A toilet tissue comprising at least one fibrous structure ply comprising a plurality of fibrous elements, wherein the toilet tissue exhibits a caliper of greater than 20.0 mils as measured according to a Caliper Test Method and a Capacity Rate Tester (CRT) Capacity of greater than 15 g/g as measured according to a Capacity Rate Tester (CRT) Test Method.

2. The toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the toilet tissue exhibits a caliper of from about 27.0 to about 32.0 mils as measured according to the Caliper Test Method.

3. The toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the toilet tissue exhibits a Capacity Rate Tester (CRT) Capacity of from about 20 g/g to about 28 g/g as measured according to the Capacity Rate Tester (CRT) Test Method.
