Abstract
The invention provides tissue products comprising hesperaloe fibers and having satisfactory strength in-use and good dispersibility. To produce the instant tissue products the inventors have successfully moderated the changes in strength and stiffness typically associated with substituting conventional wood papermaking fibers, such as NSWK, with hesperaloe fibers. Not only have the inventors succeeded in moderating changes to strength and stiffness they have improved dispersibility. As such, the tissue products of the present invention have properties comparable to, or better than, those produced using conventional papermaking fibers, such as wood pulp fibers.
