Articles of the present disclosure may have a tensile stress of the front proximal tummy zone higher than the tensile stress of any of the front waist zone, the front distal tummy zone, or the front leg zone, and a tensile stress of the back distal tummy zone higher than any of the tensile stress of the back waist zone, the back proximal tummy zone, or the back leg zone.

An absorbent article having a longitudinal centerline, a front region, a crotch region, and a back region. The absorbent article has a main portion, a side portion, and a waist portion. The waist portion has a belt portion that has a front belt portion having elastomeric material and a back belt portion having elastomeric material. The front belt portion has a first elastic section and a second elastic section, each section having force zones. The back belt portion has a third elastic section and a fourth elastic section, each section having force zones. The force zones in the portions alternate between a high force zone and a low force zone in at least one belt portion.

The force zones in the portions alternate between a high force zone and a low force zone in at least one belt portion.

An absorbent article may comprise front and back belts, each of the belts may comprise multiple elastic strands and multiple spacers. The absorbent article may also comprise graphics overlapping the elastic strands and spacers. Graphic portions overlapping the spacers may be less distorted than the graphic portions overlapping the elastic strands, when the article is in a contracted or partially contracted state, such as on a wearer.

The present disclosure relates to wearable articles having an elastic belt having arrays of elastic bodies.

Disclosed is a wearable article comprising a main body and a ring-like elastic belt comprising a front belt and a back belt. At least some of the elastic bodies may be arranged in an array, the array defined as meeting: a) one array is formed by 2-10 elastic bodies; b) each elastic body within one array is disposed in an inner-interval between each elastic body of 2-4 mm; and c) one specific array disposed in an extra-interval between at least one neighboring elastic bodies outside the specific array of greater than the inner-interval. Further, the front belt may comprise at least 5 arrays.

A composite laminate is provided with improved appearance aesthetics and functionality for use in disposable diaper and hygiene products, providing particularly low elongation dependency of unload power, and a soft feel. The composite laminate body has a plurality of elastic fibers arranged in parallel in one direction, interposed between two sheets of cloth; and resin bonding the elastic fibers and the two sheets of cloth, provided in a plurality of strands arranged to be parallel in one direction that intersects with the elastic fibers; wherein the two sheets of cloth and the elastic fibers are separated between locations where adjacent resin strands and elastic fibers intersect in the longitudinal direction of the elastic fibers.

The present disclosure relates to bonding a first substrate together a second substrate with adhesives that are substantially tackifier free. A layer of substantially tackifier free adhesive may be applied to a first surface of the second substrate to define an adherence zone, and the first substrate is positioned on the adherence zone of the second substrate to form a laminate. The first and second substrates are pressed against each other in the adherence zone to force the substantially tackifier free adhesive to penetrate into the first and second substrates. A first portion of the layer of the adhesive penetrates into the first substrate and a second portion of the layer of the adhesive penetrates into the second substrate. A central portion of the layer of the adhesive between the first and second portions separates the second surface of the first substrate from the first surface of the second substrate.
