  • Publication number: 20070044928
    Abstract: A rolled tissue product that can help a child's progress in the toilet training process is generally disclosed. The rolled tissue product can have a pattern, located on the tissue web, such that the pattern helps the child determine the appropriate amount of bath tissue that should be used. Also, some perforations in the tissue web can be weaker than other perforations to help the child cleanly tear the appropriate amount of bath tissue from the roll. Some of the perforations in the tissue web can have visual cues to indicate where the perforation is located.
