A fibrous structure comprising a surface comprising a surface pattern, wherein the surface pattern comprises a continuous knuckle region network and a plurality of discrete pillow regions, each having a width, dispersed within the knuckle region network such that the fibrous structure is void of nubs, 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;
- and wherein a discrete pillow region width exhibits a relative standard deviation of less than 25% as measured according to the Micro CT Intensive Property Measurement Test Method.
