Abstract

Embossed multi-ply fibrous structures that exhibit a Geometric Mean Elongation of greater than 15.8% as measured according to the Elongation Test Method are provided.

Claims (13)

1. An embossed two-ply toilet tissue comprising at least one embossed through-air-dried fibrous structure ply, wherein the embossed two-ply fibrous structure comprises hardwood pulp fibers and softwood pulp fibers, wherein the embossed two-ply toilet tissue exhibits a Geometric Mean Elongation of greater than 15.8% as measured according to the Elongation Test Method and an initial total wet tensile of less than 2974 g/cm.

2. The embossed two-ply toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the embossed two-ply toilet tissue comprises a creped fibrous structure.

3. The embossed two-ply toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the embossed two-ply toilet tissue comprises an uncreped fibrous structure.

4. The embossed two-ply toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the embossed two-ply toilet tissue exhibits a basis weight of greater than 15 gsm to about 120 gsm as measured according to the Basis Weight Test Method.

5. The embossed two-ply toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the embossed two-ply toilet tissue product is in roll form.

6. The embossed two-ply toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the embossed two-ply toilet tissue comprises one or more non-linear embossments.

7. The embossed two-ply toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the embossed two-ply toilet tissue comprises one or more linear embossments.

8. The embossed two-ply toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the embossed two-ply toilet tissue comprises one or more non-linear embossments and one or more linear embossments.

9. The embossed two-ply toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the embossed two-ply toilet tissue comprises at least one layered fibrous structure ply.

10. The embossed two-ply toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the embossed two-ply toilet tissue comprises two through-air-dried fibrous structure plies.

11. The embossed two-ply toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the embossed two-ply toilet tissue comprises at least one fibrous structure ply comprising a microscopical three-dimensional pattern.

12. The embossed two-ply toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the embossed two-ply toilet tissue is void of permanent wet strength.

13. The embossed two-ply toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the embossed two-ply toilet tissue comprises a temporary wet strength agent.
