Abstract

Fibrous structures that exhibit a cross machine direction total energy absorption (CDTEA) of greater than 8 cm-g/cm 2 as measured according to the TEA Test Method.

Claims (13)

1. A through-air-dried fibrous structure formed on a through-air-drying molding member comprising a resinous framework, wherein the fibrous structure comprises a temporary wet strength agent and is void of permanent wet strength agents, and exhibits a CD TEA of greater than 8 cm-g/cm 2 as measured according to the TEA Test Method and a Dry Burst of less than 740 g as measured according to the Dry Burst Test Method.

2. The fibrous structure according to claim 1 wherein the fibrous structure comprises a three-dimensional pattern imparted to it by the resinous framework of the through-air-drying molding member.

3. The fibrous structure according to claim 1 wherein the fibrous structure exhibits a Dry Burst of greater than about 100 g as measured according to the Dry Burst Test Method.

4. The fibrous structure according to claim 1 wherein the fibrous structure exhibits a Dry Burst of from about 370 g to about 740 g as measured according to the Dry Burst Test Method.

5. The fibrous structure according to claim 1 wherein the fibrous structure exhibits a CD TEA of greater than about 8.2 cm-g/cm 2 as measured according to the TEA Test Method.

6. The fibrous structure according to claim 1 wherein the fibrous structure exhibits a CD TEA of greater than about 8.5 cm-g/cm 2 as measured according to the TEA Test Method.

7. The fibrous structure according to claim 1 wherein the fibrous structure comprises cellulosic pulp fibers.

8. The fibrous structure according to claim 1 wherein the fibrous structure comprises at least one uncreped fibrous structure ply.

9. The fibrous structure according to claim 1 wherein the fibrous structure exhibits a basis weight of greater than 15 gsm to about 120 gsm as measured according to the Basis Weight Test Method.

10. The fibrous structure according to claim 1 wherein the fibrous structure further comprises a non-linear element embossment.

11. The fibrous structure according to claim 1 wherein the fibrous structure is a sanitary tissue product.

12. The fibrous structure according to claim 10 wherein the sanitary tissue product is in roll form.

13. A multi-ply fibrous structure comprising a fibrous structure according to claim 1 .
