In a trunks-type disposable diaper in which a front around-leg elastic member and a back around-leg elastic member are attached on both sides in a width direction of an intermediate region in a region between an edge of one leg opening and an edge of the other leg opening in a pattern in which at least one front around-leg elastic member and at least one back around-leg elastic member cross each other, the above-described problem is solved by providing an inner member bonded portion that is a region bonding an outer member and an inner member only further to the center side in the width direction than a crossing position between the front around-leg elastic member and the back around-leg elastic member on both sides in the width direction in the intermediate region.

The present invention is intended to improve a fit to the lower part of a gluteal region. The foregoing issue is solved by an underpants-type disposable diaper in which an outer body is formed by stacking an elastic sheet layer between a first sheet layer and a second sheet layer, when the elastic sheet layer is extended in a width direction, the first sheet layer and the second sheet layer are joined together directly or indirectly at a large number of dot-like joint portions arranged at intervals left in the width-direction and front-back direction, cover parts of the outer body of a back body have peripheral edge regions and surrounded regions surrounded by the peripheral edge regions, and the arrangement density of the dot-like joint portions in the peripheral edge regions is higher than the arrangement density of the dot-like joint portions in the surrounded regions.

An absorbent article is described that includes leg elastics that form the outermost edges of the product. The leg elastics can include an increased number of elastomeric strands and can extend outboard of the chassis. In this manner, the leg elastics can form a proper seal with the legs of the wearer without interference and can be visually inspected by a caregiver. Placing the leg elastics outboard of the chassis also provides for an efficient manner of producing the garment by attaching multiple elastic components to the garment along a vertical bonding seam.

Absorbent articles that include elastics in multiple layers are disclosed herein.

Disclosed is a wearable article continuous in a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction comprising an elastic belt region, a crotch region, a waist opening and two leg openings; wherein the elastic belt region is a laminate comprising an inner sheet made of nonwoven fiber, and an outer sheet made of nonwoven fiber, and a plurality of elastic strands configured to stretch the elastic belt region in the transverse direction; wherein at least about 24 elastic strands are disposed on the elastic belt region; and the article meets the formula of: LC<0.38CW-18; wherein LC is the Drapability index (%) according to the measurements herein, CW is the Compression Work index (gfcm) according to the measurements herein.

Disclosed is a wearable article 20 comprising a main body 38 and a ring-like elastic belt 40 comprising a front belt and a back belt each formed by an inner sheet, an outer sheet, and a plurality of elastic bodies sandwiched therebetween and running in the transverse direction substantially parallel to each other, and at least a portion of the elasticity of at least some of the elastic bodies are removed of its elasticity, the transverse width of the elastic body having the longest length removed of its elasticity defined as a maximum elastic cut window; wherein the length of the article along the longitudinal axis is from 300 mm to 440 mm; and the maximum elastic cut window is less than 100 mm.

Absorbent articles that include elastics in multiple layers are disclosed herein.

Disposable pull-on diapers of the present disclosure may have optimized waist circumferential length and leg opening length.

A disposable absorbent pant having a front belt portion and a rear belt portion is disclosed. The front and rear belt portions are joined at side seams and the rear belt portion has a greater length than the front belt portion. A lower edge of the rear belt portion forms at least in part edges of left and right leg openings to the rear of the side seams. The rear belt portion includes first and second layers of nonwoven web material sandwiching a plurality of laterally extending and laterally pre-strained elastic strands, disposed below the side seams. A first of the plurality of elastic strands differs from a second of the plurality of elastic strands by one or more of amount of pre-strain, tensile modulus, decitex, and combinations thereof.

Disposable pull-on diapers of the present disclosure may have optimized waist circumferential length and leg opening length.
