Multiple ply tissue products having enhanced interply liquid capacity

A two-ply tissue product comprising:

• a first tissue ply containing papermaking fibers;
• a second tissue ply containing papermaking fibers, the second ply being attached to the first ply;
• and
• wherein the tissue product has an initial rate of absorbency of greater than about 6 g/g after five seconds, a maximum total absorbency of greater than about 10 g/g, a total absorbency after 30 seconds of greater than about 10 g/g, and a liquid holding capacity of greater than about 8 g/g.

A multi-ply tissue product comprising:

• a first tissue ply containing papermaking fibers, the first tissue ply comprising an uncreped through-air dried web, the first tissue ply including ridges and valleys that generally extend in a first direction;
• a second tissue ply containing papermaking fibers, the second tissue ply comprising an uncreped through-air dried web, the second tissue ply having ridges and valleys that generally extend in a second direction, the second ply being attached to the first ply in a manner such that the first direction of the ridges and valleys on the first ply is offset to the second direction of the ridges and valleys on the second ply;
• and
• wherein the tissue product has an interply absorbency of greater than about 3 g/g at 30 seconds.
