Abstract

Fibrous structures that exhibit a Geometric Mean Modulus (GM Modulus) of less than 1070 g/cm as measured according to the Modulus Test Method described herein and a Geometric Mean Elongation (GM Elongation or GM Elong) of less than 15% measured according to the Elongation Test Method described herein are provided.

Claims (20)

1. An embossed fibrous structure that exhibits a GM Modulus of less than 1070 g/cm at 15 g/cm as measured according to the Modulus Test Method and a GM Elongation of less than 11.4% as measured according to the Elongation Test Method.

2. The fibrous structure according to claim 1 wherein the fibrous structure exhibits a GM Modulus of less than 1050 g/cm at 15 g/cm as measured according the Modulus Test Method.

3. The fibrous structure according to claim 2 wherein the fibrous structure exhibits a GM Modulus of less than 1000 g/cm at 15 g/cm as measured according the Modulus Test Method.

4. The fibrous structure according to claim 3 wherein the fibrous structure exhibits a GM Modulus of less than 975 g/cm at 15 g/cm as measured according the Modulus Test Method.

5. The fibrous structure according to claim 1 wherein the fibrous structure exhibits a GM Elongation of less than 11% as measured according to the Elongation Test Method.

6. The fibrous structure according to claim 5 wherein the fibrous structure exhibits a GM Elongation of less than 10.5% as measured according to the Elongation 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 a through-air-dried fibrous structure.

9. The fibrous structure according to claim 1 wherein the fibrous structure comprises an uncreped fibrous structure.

10. 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.

11. The fibrous structure according to claim 1 wherein the fibrous structure is an embossed fibrous structure.

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

13. A single-ply, embossed, wet-laid, fibrous structure that exhibits a GM Modulus of less than 1070 g/cm at 15 g/cm as measured according to the Modulus Test Method and a GM Elongation of less than 15% as measured according to the Elongation Test Method.

14. The single-ply, embossed fibrous structure according to claim 13 wherein the single-ply, embossed fibrous structure exhibits a GM Modulus of less than 1050 g/cm at 15 g/cm as measured according the Modulus Test Method.

15. The single-ply, embossed fibrous structure according to claim 14 wherein the single-ply, embossed fibrous structure exhibits a GM Modulus of less than 1000 g/cm at 15 g/cm as measured according the Modulus Test Method.

16. The single-ply, embossed fibrous structure according to claim 13 wherein the single-ply, embossed fibrous structure comprises cellulosic pulp fibers.

17. The single-ply, embossed fibrous structure according to claim 13 wherein the single-ply, embossed fibrous structure comprises a single-ply, through-air-dried, embossed fibrous structure.

18. The single-ply, embossed fibrous structure according to claim 13 wherein the single-ply, embossed fibrous structure comprises a single-ply, embossed uncreped fibrous structure.

19. The single-ply, embossed fibrous structure according to claim 13 wherein the single-ply, embossed fibrous structure exhibits a basis weight of greater than 15 gsm to about 120 gsm as measured according to the Basis Weight Test Method.

20. The single-ply, embossed fibrous structure according to claim 13 wherein the single-ply, embossed fibrous structure is a sanitary tissue product.
