Benefits of technology

[0007]The present invention fulfills the need described above by providing fibrous structures that exhibit at least some consumer relevant property values that are better than known fibrous structures, and more part

Problems solved by technology

A classic example of this dilemma is increasing the softness of a product, an improvement to the consumer, while also increasing the product's lint, a negative to the consumer.
The challenge to the product developer is to maximize the overall impression of a product by maximizing the integration of these multiple properties.
Further challenging the product developer is that the relative effect of increasing or decreasing a particular property has a nonlinear effect on the consumer's impression.
However, as a product continues to increase the amount of lint observed by the consumer it begins to have a disproportionately negative impact on their impression of the product as the product no longer meets her needs for her desired tasks.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Definitions

[0025]“Fibrous structure” as used herein means a structure that comprises one or more filaments and / or fibers. In one example, a fibrous structure according to the present invention means an orderly arrangement of filaments and / or fibers within a structure in order to perform a function. In another example, a fibrous struc...

Abstract

Fibrous structures that exhibit a 4-Factor Consumer Relevant Property Value and more particularly to fibrous structures that exhibit a 5-Factor and / or 6-Factor Consumer Relevant Property Value are provided.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 257,248, filed Nov. 2, 2009.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to fibrous structures that exhibit a 4-Factor Consumer Relevant Property Value and more particularly to fibrous structures that exhibit a 5-Factor and / or 6-Factor Consumer Relevant Property Value.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Fibrous structures have exhibited various consumer relevant property values for various properties, such as absorbent capacity, initial total wet tensile, dry tensile modulus, basis weight wet caliper, residual water and lint. However, consumers still desire better property values for various consumer relevant properties, especially without negatively impacting other consumer relevant property values and hopefully increasing at least some of the other consumer relevant property values.[0004]In the area of consumer products, especially consumer products empl...
