Vacuum formed film topsheets having a silky tactile impression

Abstract

A vacuum formed film that delivers desirable rewet properties and possesses a desirable silky tactile impression or silky feel to a user. The vacuum formed film may have a plurality of cells, wherein the cells are ellipse shaped, each having a major axis and minor axis. The cells may also be boat shaped, wherein the ends of the cell on each end of the major axis are rounded off. The cells may also be oval shaped. Major axes of the cells are aligned in the stroking direction of the vacuum formed film. The cells define stroking direction lands and transverse direction lands in areas between the cells. The stroking direction lands may also be raised with respect to the transverse direction lands. Micro-ridges may be formed on the lands for imparting a silky feel to the vacuum formed film. The various film aspects, above, each contribute to the silky tactile impression of the film. Some or all of the various aspects described above may be combined to achieve a further improved silky tactile impression.
