Disclosed is a fibrous article comprising an additive composition. For example, the additive composition deposited on at least one side of the fibrous web may include, for example, a water soluble film forming component and a water soluble modifier component. In some aspects, the additive composition comprises a polymer exhibiting a particular LCST and melting point temperature. In another aspect, the additive composition is applied to the fibrous web during the heated drying step, for example during the drying step using a Yankee dryer. Thereafter, the fibrous web with the additive composition is creped. The additive composition does not substantially affect the absorption of the web in an adverse manner and can enhance the perceived softness of the web. |
