Claims21
A sanitary tissue product comprising a web structure comprising a tuft that defines an open void area tunnel, wherein the web structure comprises a first fiber comprising a crosslinked, hydroxyl polymer selected from the group consisting of starch, starch derivatives and mixtures thereof and wherein the tuft comprises the first fiber and wherein the web structure further comprises a second fiber having a chemically different composition relative to the first fiber comprising the crosslinked, hydroxyl polymer wherein the sanitary tissue product further comprises an additional ply of a web structure such that the tuft protrudes at least into the additional ply.
A sanitary tissue product comprising a layered web structure comprising a first layer and a second layer, wherein the first layer comprises a first composition and the second layer comprises a second composition, wherein the first and second compositions are chemically different such that the first layer exhibits an extensibility different from the second layer, wherein a portion of one layer protrudes at least into the other layer such that a surface of the layered web structure comprises a tuft that defines an open void area tunnel, wherein the layered web structure comprises a polymeric structure comprising a crosslinked, hydroxyl polymer selected from the group consisting of starch, starch derivatives and mixtures thereof and wherein the tuft comprises the crosslinked, hydroxyl polymer.
