Abstract

Embossed fibrous structures that exhibit a Dry Burst of greater than 270 g as measured according to the Dry Burst Test Method and more particularly to embossed fibrous structures that exhibit a Dry Burst of greater than 270 g as measured according to the Dry Burst Test Method and a Total Dry Tensile of less than 2375 g/76.2 mm and/or a Geometric Mean Total Dry Tensile of less than 1130 g/76.2 mm as measured according to the Tensile Strength Test Method are provided.

Claims (18)

1. A toilet tissue comprising an embossed, wet-laid fibrous structure and a temporary wet strength agent, wherein the toilet tissue exhibits a Total Dry Tensile of less than 2375 g/76.2 mm as measured according to the Tensile Strength Test Method described herein, a Dry Burst of greater than 270 g as measured according to the Dry Burst Test Method described herein, and a basis weight of greater than 15 g/m 2 as measured according to the Basis Weight Test Method described herein.

2. The toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the embossed fibrous structure exhibits a Total Dry Tensile of less than about 2350 g/76.2 mm as measured according to the Tensile Strength Test Method.

3. The toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the embossed fibrous structure exhibits a Dry Burst of greater than about 280 g as measured according to the Dry Burst Test Method.

4. The toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the embossed fibrous structure comprises cellulosic pulp fibers.

5. The toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the embossed fibrous structure comprises a throughdried embossed fibrous structure.

6. The toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the embossed fibrous structure comprises an uncreped embossed fibrous structure.

7. The toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the embossed fibrous structure is a sanitary tissue product.

8. The toilet tissue according to claim 7 wherein the sanitary tissue product is in roll form.

9. The toilet tissue according to claim 7 wherein the sanitary tissue product is a multi-ply sanitary tissue product.

10. A toilet tissue comprising an embossed, wet-laid fibrous structure comprising a temporary wet strength agent, wherein the toilet tissue exhibits a GM Total Dry Tensile of less than 1130 g/76.2 mm as measured according to the Tensile Strength Test Method described herein, a Dry Burst of greater than 290 g as measured according to the Dry Burst Test Method described herein, and a basis weight of greater than 15 g/m 2 as measured according to the Basis Weight Test Method described herein.

11. The toilet tissue according to claim 10 wherein the embossed fibrous structure exhibits a GM Total Dry Tensile of less than about 1110 g/76.2 mm as measured according to the Tensile Strength Test Method.

12. The toilet tissue according to claim 10 wherein the embossed fibrous structure exhibits a Dry Burst of greater than about 300 g as measured according to the Dry Burst Test Method.

13. The toilet tissue according to claim 10 wherein the embossed fibrous structure comprises cellulosic pulp fibers.

14. The toilet tissue according to claim 10 wherein the embossed fibrous structure comprises a throughdried embossed fibrous structure.

15. The toilet tissue according to claim 10 wherein the embossed fibrous structure comprises an uncreped embossed fibrous structure.

16. The toilet tissue according to claim 10 wherein the embossed fibrous structure is a sanitary tissue product.

17. The toilet tissue according to claim 16 wherein the sanitary tissue product is in roll form.

18. The toilet tissue according to claim 16 wherein the sanitary tissue product is a multi-ply sanitary tissue product.
