Abstract
Disclosed are multi-ply tissue products, particularly creped and through-air dried tissue products, having cloth like properties, such as good drapability and durability. For example, the products generally comprise two plies and have a geometric mean slope (GM Slope) less than about 10.0 kg and a geometric mean tensile energy absorption (GM TEA) of about 15 g·cm/cmor greater. In certain instances, the tissue products also have a low degree of stiffness, such as a Stiffness Index less than about 5.00. The tissue products may be prepared from webs manufactured by a print-crepe process that deposits a latex polymer on at least one of the outer surfaces of the tissue web.
