1. A multi-ply fibrous structure comprising:
a. a first ply comprising: a plurality of wood pulp fibers and a plurality of meltblown filaments selected from the group consisting of polyester meltblown filaments, nylon meltblown filaments, polyolefin meltblown filaments, biodegradable meltblown filaments, compostable meltblown filaments, and mixtures thereof, wherein the plurality of meltblown filaments exhibit a length of greater than or equal to 5.08 cm, wherein the first ply comprises a coform layer, 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 with a portion of the plurality of meltblown filaments in the form of a coform structure, wherein the plurality of meltblown filaments 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 ply such that the multi-ply fibrous structure exhibits a Low Load Wet Resiliency of greater than 0.95 as measured according to the Wet and Dry Compressive Modulus Test Methods and a Bending Modulus of less than 10.00 [(mg*cm·g)/mils3] as measured according to the Bending Modulus Test Method.
