Abstract

Sanitary tissue products employing fibrous structures that exhibit novel combination of average TS7 values and slip stick coefficient of friction and/or compressibility properties and methods for making same.

Claims (19)

1. A sanitary tissue product comprising at least one 3D patterned fibrous structure ply comprising a plurality of pulp fibers, wherein the sanitary tissue product exhibits an average TS7 value (dB V 2 rms) as measured according to the Emtec Test Method and a Slip Stick Coefficient of Friction (COF*10000) as measured according to the Slip Stick Coefficient of Friction Test Method such that the sanitary tissue product falls below a line having the following equation: y=0.0096x+1.9291 graphed on a plot of average TS7 value (dB V 2 rms) to Slip Stick Coefficient of Friction (COF*10000) where the x-axis is Slip Stick Coefficient of Friction value (COF*10000) and the y-axis is Average TS7 value (dB V 2 rms), wherein the Slip Stick Coefficient of Friction (COF*10000) is greater than 230 (COF*10000) as measured according to the Slip Stick Coefficient of Friction Test Method.

2. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 1 wherein the sanitary tissue product exhibits an average TS7 value of less than 9 dB V 2 rms as measured according to the Emtec Test Method.

3. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 1 wherein the pulp fibers comprise wood pulp fibers.

4. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 1 wherein the pulp fibers comprise non-wood pulp fibers.

5. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 1 wherein the sanitary tissue product comprises an embossed fibrous structure ply.

6. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 1 wherein the 3D patterned fibrous structure ply comprises a through-air-dried fibrous structure ply.

7. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 6 wherein the through-air-dried fibrous structure ply comprises a creped through-air-dried fibrous structure ply.

8. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 6 wherein the through-air-dried fibrous structure ply is an uncreped through-air-dried fibrous structure ply.

9. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 1 wherein the 3D patterned fibrous structure ply comprises a fabric creped fibrous structure ply.

10. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 1 wherein the 3D patterned fibrous structure ply comprises a belt creped fibrous structure ply.

11. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 1 wherein the sanitary tissue product comprises a conventional wet-pressed fibrous structure ply.

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

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

14. A sanitary tissue product comprising at least one 3D patterned fibrous structure ply comprising a plurality of pulp fibers, wherein the sanitary tissue product exhibits an average TS7 value of less than 7.5 dB V 2 rms as measured according to the Emtec Test Method and a Compressibility value of greater than 38.0 [mils/(log(g/in 2 ))] as measured according to the Stack Compressibility and Resilient Bulk Test Method, wherein the Slip Stick Coefficient of Friction (COF*10000) is greater than 230 (COF*10000) as measured according to the Slip Stick Coefficient of Friction Test Method.

15. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 14 wherein the pulp fibers comprise wood pulp fibers.

16. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 14 wherein the pulp fibers comprise non-wood pulp fibers.

17. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 14 wherein the sanitary tissue product comprises an embossed fibrous structure ply.

18. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 14 wherein the at least one 3D patterned fibrous structure ply is a 3D patterned, embossed fibrous structure ply.

19. The sanitary tissue product according to claim 1 wherein the at least one 3D patterned fibrous structure ply is a 3D patterned, embossed fibrous structure ply.
