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.

The present invention relates to the field of hygiene articles, in particular to a means for reducing soiling of the skin of a wearer upon defecation. In particular, it relates to a hygiene article comprising a skin protection sheet that comprises a discontinuity as a faeces passageway, such as an opening or a slit. In use, the sheet and the discontinuity are urged towards the anus by a pull means and spread open by a spreading means, such that faeces can pass through the discontinuity but are separated from the skin of the wearer elsewhere. The pull means of the article is adapted to be connected to a suspender system that allows pulling of the pull means independently from the fixation of the article on the wearer, such that the disposable article and the suspender system represent an improved combined system or kit.

In a disposable diaper, a leg stretching unit stretchable in a longitudinal direction is disposed at an inside of a widthwise direction than a pair of leg opening units. An area between a backside leg opening unit and a straight line passing through a center in the widthwise direction and parallel to the longitudinal direction is larger than an area between a foreside leg opening unit and a straight line passing through a center of the longitudinal direction of the leg opening unit and extending in the longitudinal direction. A buttocks part stretching unit running across a crotch region and the back waistline region and stretchable in the longitudinal direction is disposed at an outside of the widthwise direction than the leg stretching unit. A front end of the buttocks part stretching unit is positioned more backward than a center of the longitudinal direction of the leg opening unit.
