1. A multi-ply fibrous structure comprising:
a. a first ply comprising: a plurality of wood pulp fibers and a plurality of thermoplastic meltblown filaments selected from the group consisting of polyester thermoplastic meltblown filaments, nylon thermoplastic meltblown filaments, polyolefin thermoplastic meltblown filaments, biodegradable thermoplastic meltblown filaments, compostable thermoplastic meltblown filaments, and mixtures thereof, wherein the plurality of thermoplastic meltblown filaments exhibit a length of greater than or equal to 5.08 cm, wherein a first portion of the plurality of wood pulp fibers are in the form of a first wet laid fibrous structure and a second portion of the plurality of wood pulp fibers are commingled together with a portion of the thermoplastic meltblown filaments in the form of a coform fibrous structure, wherein the portion of the thermoplastic meltblown filaments in the form of the coform fibrous structure are spun from a die and directly laid on top of the first wet laid fibrous structure; and
b. a second ply comprising a second wet laid fibrous structure comprising a plurality of wood pulp fibers associated with the first wet laid fibrous structure such that the multi-ply fibrous structure exhibits an Absorptive Rate of greater than 0.35 g/sec as measured according to the Absorptive Rate and Capacity CRT Test Method and a Dry Thick Compression of greater than 700 mils*mils/log (gr force/in2) as measured according to the Dry Compressive Modulus Test Method.
