A disposable absorbent article may include a topsheet, backsheet, absorbent core, and an elasticized region disposed in a leg gasketing system. The elasticized region may include a first elastic member and a second elastic member. The first elastic member is joined to the article at both a first contraction starting point and a first contraction ending point, and the second elastic member is joined to the article at both a second contraction starting point and a second contraction ending point. The first contraction starting point is disposed on a first start axis and the second contraction starting point is disposed on a second start axis, wherein the second start axis is different than the first start axis.

A disposable article includes a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and backsheet; and an elasticized waist gasketing element. The elasticized waist gasketing element has a lateral outboard edge and a longitudinal array of elastic members. The longitudinal array includes a primary waist elastic member disposed inboard of the waist edge by a minimum longitudinal distance A, a secondary waist elastic member disposed inboard of the primary waist elastic member by a minimum longitudinal distance B. The waist gasketing element comprises a Force Ratio of at least about 1.1.

The absorbent article is an absorbent article covering a crotch portion of a wearer from an abdominal side to a back side with a sheet-like main body, the absorbent article including: the main body including an abdominal side edge, a back side edge, pair of crotch side edges extending between the abdominal side edge and the back side edge, and an absorbent region in which an absorbent is disposed; a pair of restraint portions provided on the main body along the pair of crotch side edges, and configured to suppress leakage of a target object from the absorbent region; and a bonding member in a strip shape provided to the main body on a side of at least one of the abdominal side edge and the back side edge, wherein the bonding member is provided extending between the pair of restraint portions, and both ends of the bonding member are disposed between the restraint portions and the main body at one end side of the restraint portion in a longitudinal direction.

A disposable pant may include a topsheet, a backsheet, an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet, and a leg gasketing system. The leg gasketing system may include an inner cuff and an outer cuff. The inner cuff may include an inner cuff folded edge and an inner cuff material edge and the outer cuff may include an outer cuff folded edge and an outer cuff material edge such that the web of material is folded laterally inward to form the outer cuff folded edge and folded laterally outward to form the inner cuff folded edge.

A disposable diaper having a front-rear direction and a width direction that is orthogonal to the front-rear direction, includes: a front waistline region; a rear waistline region; a crotch region disposed between the front waistline region and the rear waistline region; an absorbent core; a skin surface side sheet disposed on a skin facing surface side from the absorbent core; a waistband disposed on the skin facing surface side of the skin surface side sheet in the rear waistline region; and a fastening tape disposed in the rear waistline region and that includes a locking portion.

An absorbent sanitary article includes a chassis, a pair of elastic side panels, and a gasketing element having an outer transverse edge attached to the chassis and side edges attached to respective side panels.

A disposable absorbent article may include a topsheet, a backsheet, an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet, and a leg gasketing system.
