  • Patent number: 10731300
    Abstract: A multi-ply bath tissue includes a first ply providing a first surface of the bath tissue. The first ply includes first and second layers. The first layer forms the first surface and includes a temporary wet strength resin. The second layer is substantially free from a temporary wet strength resin. A second ply provides a second surface of the bath tissue. The second ply includes first and second layers. The first layer forms the second surface and includes a temporary wet strength resin. The second layer is substantially free from a temporary wet strength resin. The bath tissue is free from regenerated cellulosic microfibers.
