First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A toilet tissue comprising at least one fibrous structure ply comprising a plurality of fibrous elements, wherein the toilet tissue exhibits a caliper of greater than 20.0 mils as measured according to a Caliper Test Method and a Capacity Rate Tester (CRT) Capacity of greater than 15 g/g as measured according to a Capacity Rate Tester (CRT) Test Method. 2. The toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the toilet tissue exhibits a caliper of from about 27.0 to about 32.0 mils as measured according to the Caliper Test Method. 3. The toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the toilet tissue exhibits a Capacity Rate Tester (CRT) Capacity of from about 20 g/g to about 28 g/g as measured according to the Capacity Rate Tester (CRT) Test Method. 4. The toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the toilet tissue exhibits a Capacity Rate Tester (CRT) Rate of less than about 1.0 g/sec as measured according to the Capacity Rate Tester (CRT) Test Method. 5. The toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the toilet tissue exhibits a Total Wet Decay of greater than 30% as measured according to a Wet Decay Test Method. 6. The toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the toilet tissue exhibits an Initial Total Wet Tensile of greater than 30 g/in as measured according to a Wet Tensile Test Method. 7. The toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the at least one fibrous structure ply comprises a structured fibrous structure ply. 8. The toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the at least one fibrous structure ply is a belt creped fibrous structure ply. 9. The toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the at least one fibrous structure ply is a fabric creped fibrous structure ply. 10. A roll of toilet tissue comprising the toilet tissue according to claim 1 . 11. A toilet tissue comprising at least one fibrous structure ply comprising a plurality of fibrous elements, wherein the toilet tissue exhibits a caliper of greater than 20.0 mils as measured according to a Caliper Test Method and a Plate Stiffness of less than 8.00 N*mm as measured according to a Plate Stiffness Test Method. 12. The toilet tissue according to claim 11 wherein the toilet tissue exhibits a caliper of from about 27.0 to about 32.0 mils as measured according to the Caliper Test Method. 13. The toilet tissue according to claim 11 wherein the toilet tissue exhibits a Plate Stiffness of less than about 7.70 N*mm as measured according to the Plate Stiffness Test Method. 14. The toilet tissue according to claim 11 wherein the toilet tissue exhibits a Capacity Rate Tester (CRT) Capacity of from about 20 g/g to about 28 g/g as measured according to a Capacity Rate Tester (CRT) Test Method. 15. The toilet tissue according to claim 11 wherein the toilet tissue exhibits a Capacity Rate Tester (CRT) Rate of less than about 1.0 g/sec as measured according to a Capacity Rate Tester (CRT) Test Method. 16. The toilet tissue according to claim 11 wherein the toilet tissue exhibits a Total Wet Decay of greater than 30% as measured according to a Wet Decay Test Method. 17. The toilet tissue according to claim 11 wherein the toilet tissue exhibits an Initial Total Wet Tensile of greater than 30 g/in as measured according to a Wet Tensile Test Method. 18. The toilet tissue according to claim 11 wherein the at least one fibrous structure ply comprises a structured fibrous structure ply. 19. A roll of toilet tissue comprising the toilet tissue according to claim 11 . 20. A package comprising one or more rolls of toilet tissue according to claim 19 .
