Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Fibrous structures that exhibit a Tensile Ratio of less than 1.75 and/or less than 1.49 as measured according to the Tensile Strength Test Method described herein and a Geometric Mean Modulus (GM Modulus) of less than 1402.4 g/cm at 15 g/cm and/or a Machine Direction Modulus (MD Modulus) of less than 1253.4 g/cm at 15 g/cm and/or a Cross Machine Direction Modulus (CD Modulus) of less than 1569.2 g/cm at 15 g/cm, are provided.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A molded microscopical three-dimensional patterned, through-air-dried, multi-ply, embossed sanitary tissue product comprising fibers, such that the embossed sanitary tissue product exhibits a Tensile Ratio of less than 1.49 as measured according to the Tensile Strength Test Method and a GM Tangent Modulus of less than 1402.4 g/cm at 15 g/cm as measured according to the Modulus Test Method. 2. The embossed sanitary tissue product according to claim 1 wherein the embossed sanitary tissue product comprises an uncreped, embossed fibrous structure. 3. The embossed sanitary tissue product according to claim 1 wherein the embossed sanitary tissue product exhibits a basis weight of greater than 15 gsm to about 120 gsm as measured according to the Basis Weight Test Method. 4. A molded microscopical three-dimensional patterned, through-air-dried, multi-ply, embossed sanitary tissue product comprising fibers such that the embossed sanitary tissue product exhibits a Tensile Ratio of less than 1.49 as measured according to the Tensile Strength Test Method and a MD Tangent Modulus of less than 1253.4 g/cm at 15 g/cm as measured according to the Modulus Test Method. 5. The embossed sanitary tissue product according to claim 4 wherein the embossed sanitary tissue product comprises an uncreped, embossed fibrous structure. 6. The embossed sanitary tissue product according to claim 4 wherein the embossed sanitary tissue product exhibits a basis weight of greater than 15 gsm to about 120 gsm as measured according to the Basis Weight Test Method. 7. A molded microscopical three-dimensional patterned, through-air-dried, multi-ply, embossed sanitary tissue product comprising fibers such that the embossed sanitary tissue product exhibits a Tensile Ratio of less than 1.75 as measured according to the Tensile Strength Test Method and a CD Tangent Modulus of less than 1569.2 g/cm at 15 g/cm as measured according to the Modulus Test Method. 8. The embossed sanitary tissue product according to claim 7 wherein the embossed sanitary tissue product comprises an uncreped, embossed fibrous structure. 9. The embossed sanitary tissue product according to claim 7 wherein the embossed sanitary tissue product exhibits a basis weight of greater than 15 gsm to about 120 gsm as measured according to the Basis Weight Test Method. 10. A through-air-dried, multi-ply, embossed sanitary tissue product comprising fibers such that the embossed sanitary tissue product exhibits a Tensile Ratio of less than 1.49 as measured according to the Tensile Strength Test Method and a GM Tangent Modulus of less than 1402.4 g/cm at 15 g/cm as measured according to the Modulus Test Method. 11. The embossed sanitary tissue product according to claim 10 wherein the embossed sanitary tissue product comprises an uncreped, embossed fibrous structure. 12. The embossed sanitary tissue product according to claim 10 wherein the embossed sanitary tissue product exhibits a basis weight of greater than 15 gsm to about 120 gsm as measured according to the Basis Weight Test Method. 13. A through-air-dried, multi-ply, embossed sanitary tissue product comprising fibers such that the embossed sanitary tissue product exhibits a Tensile Ratio of less than 1.49 as measured according to the Tensile Strength Test Method and a MD Tangent Modulus of less than 1253.4 g/cm at 15 g/cm as measured according to the Modulus Test Method. 14. The embossed sanitary tissue product according to claim 13 wherein the embossed sanitary tissue product comprises an uncreped, embossed fibrous structure. 15. The embossed sanitary tissue product according to claim 13 wherein the embossed sanitary tissue product exhibits a basis weight of greater than 15 gsm to about 120 gsm as measured according to the Basis Weight Test Method. 16. A through-air-dried, multi-ply, embossed sanitary tissue product comprising fibers such that the embossed sanitary tissue product exhibits a Tensile Ratio of less than 1.75 as measured according to the Tensile Strength Test Method and a CD Tangent Modulus of less than 1569.2 g/cm at 15 g/cm as measured according to the Modulus Test Method. 17. The embossed sanitary tissue product according to claim 16 wherein the embossed sanitary tissue product comprises an uncreped, embossed fibrous structure. 18. The embossed sanitary tissue product according to claim 16 wherein the embossed sanitary tissue product exhibits a basis weight of greater than 15 gsm to about 120 gsm as measured according to the Basis Weight Test Method.
