| abstract |
A vacuum formed film (26, 38, 50, 100), with desirable rewet properties and a desirable silky tactile impression or silky feel to a user, may have a plurality of cells (28, 42, 52, 104). The cells may be ellipse shaped, each having a major axis (14) and minor axis (16). The cells may also be boat or oval shaped, wherein the ends on the major axis of the cells are rounded off . Major axes of the cells are aligned in the stroking direction (7) of the fil m. The cells define stroking lands (34, 40, 58, 102) and transverse direction lands (36, 46) between the cells. The stroking direction lands may be raised with respect to the transverse direction lands. Micro-ridges (106) may be formed on the lands. The various film aspects, above, each contribute to the silky tactile impression of the film. Some or all of the various aspects described above may be combined to achieve a further improved silky tactile impression. |
