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 (15)

1. An embossed fibrous structure that exhibits a Geometric Mean Elongation of greater than 15.8% as measured according to the Elongation Test Method, a Geometric Mean Modulus of greater than 758 at 15 g/cm as measured according to the Modulus Test Method and a Basis Weight of less than 43.7 gsm as measured according to the Basis Weight Test Method.

2. The fibrous structure according to claim 1 wherein the fibrous structure exhibits a Geometric Mean Elongation of greater than 16% as measured according to the Elongation Test Method.

3. The fibrous structure according to claim 2 wherein the fibrous structure exhibits a Geometric Mean Elongation of greater than 17% as measured according to the Elongation Test Method.

4. The fibrous structure according to claim 1 wherein the fibrous structure exhibits a Basis Weight of less than 42.8 gsm as measured according to the Basis Weight Test Method.
