Fibrous structures of the present disclosure may comprise discrete cells comprising one or more legs and/or one or more concavities in certain patterns or Cell Groups. The cells may be discrete knuckles or pillows and may comprise a saddle and at least two legs, where the plurality of discrete wet-formed cells may have a Cell Width, a Saddle Height, a Saddle Width, a Leg Length and a Leg Width, and where the pillow surface has a Distance Between Saddles, a Distance Between Cells, a First Leg Separation Distance, and a Second Leg Separation Distance. A ratio of a Leg Length to a Saddle Height may be between about 1.10 and about 24.0. A ratio of a Distance Between Cells to a Leg Separation Distance may be between about 0.200 and about 10.5.

Discrete cell arrangements

Belts and fibrous structures may include discrete cells including one or more legs and/or one or more concavities in certain patterns or Cell Groups. The cells may be discrete knuckles or pillows and the fibrous structures may further include an emboss.

Discrete cells comprising a leg and/or a concavity

A fibrous structure may include a plurality of wetformed knuckles or pillows, where the wet-formed knuckles or pillows of the pattern may form a plurality of rows oriented in an X-direction and/or a Y-direction, and the plurality of rows may be curved in a repeating wave pattern, where the repeating wave pattern may have an amplitude and a wavelength, and wherein the amplitude may be between about 0.75 mm and about 3.0 mm, and the wavelength may be between about 25.0 mm and about 125.0 mm.
