Abstract: The disclosed tissue products have an embossing pattern that is aesthetically pleasing and provides improved product properties, such as good bulk, while reducing processing issues, such as wrinkling. The embossing patterns generally comprise a background and a foreground pattern where the background pattern is the dominate pattern and provides the product with a uniform appearance that connotes femininity, softness and cleansing. The background pattern is preferably formed entirely from open design elements such as first, second and third open, curvilinear line elements, wherein the second and third line elements are discrete, similarly shaped curvilinear line elements that are arranged parallel to one another and spaced apart about 1.0 mm or less.

Abstract: An absorbent article having a front region, a back region, and a crotch region extending between and connecting the front region and the back region generally includes an absorbent assembly extending longitudinally between the front region and the back region, and a waist assembly attached to the absorbent assembly along the front region and the back region. The absorbent assembly includes an inner layer for facing a wearer, an outer layer for facing away from the wearer, and an absorbent structure disposed between the inner and outer layers. The waist assembly defines a waist opening of the absorbent article when the article is in a wear configuration, and includes an elastic laminate including a non-apertured body-facing layer, an apertured garment-facing layer, and an elastic layer disposed between the body-facing layer and the garment-facing layer.
