First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A two-ply sanitary tissue product, comprising: at least about 5% to about 100% by weight non-wood fibers; wherein the two-ply sanitary tissue product comprises at least one multi-layered fibrous structure ply comprising a plurality of layers, wherein all of the layers of the at least one multi-layered fibrous structure ply comprise at least about 5% by weight of each layer of the non-wood fibers; wherein the two-ply sanitary tissue product is in the form of a roll and has a roll percent compressibility less than about 6; and wherein the two-ply sanitary tissue product is structured. 2 . The two-ply sanitary tissue product of claim 1 , wherein the roll percent compressibility is from about 5.5 to about 3.0. 3 . The two-ply sanitary tissue product of claim 1 , wherein the roll percent compressibility is less than about 4. 4 . The two-ply sanitary tissue product of claim 1 , wherein the non-wood fibers are selected from the group consisting of bamboo, abaca, and mixtures thereof. 5 . The two-ply sanitary tissue product of claim 1 , wherein the at least one multi-layered fibrous structure ply is a through-air-dried (TAD) ply. 6 . The two-ply sanitary tissue product of claim 1 , wherein the two-ply sanitary tissue product comprises at least 75% non-wood fibers. 7 . The two-ply sanitary tissue product of claim 1 , wherein the at least one multi-layered fibrous structure ply is creped. 8 . The two-ply sanitary tissue product of claim 1 , wherein the at least one multi-layered fibrous structure ply is uncreped. 9 . A multi-ply sanitary tissue product, comprising: at least about 5% to about 100% by weight non-wood fibers; wherein the multi-ply sanitary tissue product comprises at least one multi-layered fibrous structure ply comprising a plurality of layers, wherein all of the layers of the at least one multi-layered fibrous structure ply comprise at least about 5% by weight of each layer of the non-wood fibers and wherein the at least one multi-layered fibrous structure ply forms an exterior ply of the multi-ply sanitary tissue product; wherein the multi-ply sanitary tissue product is in the form of a roll and has a roll percent compressibility less than about 6; and wherein the multi-ply sanitary tissue product is structured. 10 . The multi-ply sanitary tissue product of claim 9 , wherein the percent roll compressibility is from about 5.5 to about 3.0. 11 . The sanitary tissue product of claim 10 , wherein the at least one multi-layered fibrous structure ply is creped. 12 . The sanitary tissue product of claim 10 , wherein the at least one multi-layered fibrous structure ply is uncreped. 13 . The multi-ply sanitary tissue product of claim 9 , wherein the roll percent compressibility is less than about 4. 14 . The multi-ply sanitary tissue product of claim 9 , wherein the non-wood fibers are selected from the group consisting of bamboo, abaca, and mixtures thereof. 15 . The multi-ply sanitary tissue product of claim 9 , wherein the at least one multi-layered fibrous structure ply is a through-air-dried (TAD) ply. 16 . The multi-ply sanitary tissue product of claim 9 , wherein the multi-ply sanitary tissue product comprises at least 75% non-wood fibers. 17 . The sanitary tissue product of claim 9 , wherein the at least one multi-layered fibrous structure ply is creped.
