A diaper (1) includes, on an outer surface, a disposal tape (10). The disposal tape (10) includes a fixing part (12), an extensible part (15), and an attachment part (18) in sequence in the longitudinal direction (X1) of the disposal tape (10) and is folded in three stacked in the sequence. The attachment part (18) and the extensible part (15) are releasably joined, and the extensible part (15) and the fixing part (12) are also releasably joined. The attachment part (18) starts to extend at a tensile strength higher than the tensile strength at which the extensible part (l 5) starts to extend. The tensile strength at which the extensible part (15) starts to extend is 6.5 N or less. The peel strength between the attachment part (18) and the extensible part (15) is 4.0 N or less.

A method of making a laminate for an absorbent article is provided. The laminate comprises elastic elements disposed at least partially intermediate two substrates. The first substrate has a primary fiber bond pattern formed therein and comprising a plurality of primary fiber bonds. The method comprises forming densified regions in the first substrate. A perimeter of each of the densified regions is larger than a perimeter of each of the primary fiber bonds. The densified regions together form a pattern of densified regions in the first substrate. The method comprises adhesively attaching the elastic elements to the first substrate, joining the second substrate to the first substrate or to some of the elastic elements, and forming a plurality of rugosities in the first substrate by allowing the elastic elements to at least partially contract. The frequency and amplitude ranges of the rugosities result from the pattern of the densified regions.

An absorbent article is provided. The absorbent article includes a topsheet, a backsheet, an absorbent core positioned at least partially intermediate the topsheet and the backsheet. The absorbent article includes a through-fluid bonded nonwoven web that has: a Martindale Average Abrasion Resistance Grade in the range of about 1.0 to about 2.5, a DMA Compression Resiliency in the range of about 25% to about 90%, and a Specific Nonwoven Volume in the range of about 25 cm.sup.3/g to about 100 cm.sup.3/g.

The present disclosure is directed, in part, to an absorbent article comprising a chassis comprising a topsheet, a backsheet, and a core disposed at least partially intermediate the topsheet and the backsheet. The absorbent article comprises a belt portion extending from the chassis. The belt portion comprises a first substrate, a second substrate joined to the first substrate, and a plurality of elongate elastic elements disposed at least partially intermediate the first substrate and the second substrate. The belt portion comprises a texture zone having a texture ratio of greater than about 5.

An absorbent article comprises a chassis having a belt portion extending therefrom. The belt portion comprises a side edge, a waist opening edge, a leg opening edge, first and second substrates engaged with each other, and elastic elements disposed intermediate the first substrate and the second substrate. The belt portion also comprises a first texture zone comprising a first portion of the substrates and the elastic strands and disposed adjacent to the side edge and the waist opening edge and a second texture zone comprising a second portion of the substrates and the elastic elements and disposed adjacent to the side edge and the leg opening edge. The first texture zone extends at least partially along a first lateral extent of the belt portion and the second texture zone extends at least partially along a second lateral extent of the belt portion.

In a half-open underpants-shaped diaper, a lateral end portion of a back waist portion is joined by a first joining portion to a lateral end portion of a front waist portion. The back waist portion includes an elastic region and a fastening portion on the other lateral side, the elastic region stretching/contracting in the lateral direction. The fastening portion is fastenable to the front waist portion when putting on the diaper, so that an end of the fastening portion closer to the elastic region is positioned on an end of an absorbent main body opposite to the first joining portion, the elastic region being located on a non-skin side of the other lateral end portion of the front waist portion, and having a stacking part in which the elastic region is stacked on the other lateral end portion of the front waist portion.

An absorbent article comprises a chassis having a belt portion extending therefrom. The belt portion comprises a side edge, a waist opening edge, a leg opening edge, first and second substrates engaged with each other, and elastic elements disposed intermediate the first substrate and the second substrate. The belt portion also comprises a first texture zone comprising a first portion of the substrates and the elastic strands and disposed adjacent to the side edge and the waist opening edge and a second texture zone comprising a second portion of the substrates and the elastic elements and disposed adjacent to the side edge and the leg opening edge. The first texture zone extends at least partially along a first lateral extent of the belt portion and the second texture zone extends at least partially along a second lateral extent of the belt portion.

The present disclosure is directed, in part, to an absorbent article comprising a chassis comprising a topsheet, a backsheet, and a core disposed at least partially intermediate the topsheet and the backsheet. The absorbent article comprises a belt portion extending from the chassis. The belt portion comprises a first substrate, a second substrate joined to the first substrate, and a plurality of elongate elastic elements disposed at least partially intermediate the first substrate and the second substrate. The belt portion comprises a texture zone having a texture ratio of greater than about 5.

Absorbent articles of the disclosure may comprise front and back belts, first and second fastening tab members comprising first and second hook-type fastening elements, and laterally opposing permanent side seams directly joining the front or back belt belts to the fastening tab members. The fastening tab members may be joined to the first and second hook-type fastening elements, which may be refastenably joined to an interior surface of the front or back belts. The fastening tab members and the permanent side seams may be disposed between the first and second belts. And, the absorbent article may be packaged in refastenably closed form.

A disposable diaper having a fully absorbent padded interior including a continuous liquid absorbent portion with no gaps or breaks in the absorbent padding along the sides of the diaper.
