Claims20
A structured fibrous structure comprising a surface comprising a surface pattern, plurality of fibrous elements and a lotion present on at least one surface of the structured fibrous structure such that the structured fibrous structure falls above a line having the following equation y=2.8202x graphed on a plot of Lotion Add-on Level (lbs/3000 ft2) to Lotion Transfer (μg/cm2) where the x-axis is Lotion Add-on Level (lbs/3000 ft2) and the y-axis is Lotion Transfer (μg/cm2);
- wherein the surface pattern comprises a knuckle region network and a plurality of pillow regions dispersed within the knuckle region network such that the fibrous structure exhibits a TS7 of less than 5.5 dB V2 rms as measured according to the Emtec Test Method, wherein a repeat unit of the surface pattern is defined by two or more groups of two or more pillow regions dispersed in the knuckle region network, wherein at least two of the two or more groups of pillow regions are non-parallelly juxtaposed.
