A method of manufacturing an absorbent article includes feeding a first web of material in a machine direction, feeding a second web of material in the machine direction, the second web being spaced from the first web by a gap, attaching an absorbent assembly to the first web and the second web such that the absorbent assembly spans the gap between the first and second webs, forming a partial cut line through the second web, folding the first web into face-to-face relationship with the second web after forming the partial cut line, and cutting the first and second webs after folding the first web into face-to-face relationship with the second web to separate the absorbent article from the first and second webs. The partial cut line defines at least one finger tab on the absorbent article.

Disclosed is an article having an absorbent assembly and an application structure, the absorbent assembly containing: 1) a first absorbent body having a first topsheet; a first water impermeable backsheet; a first absorbent core disposed between the first topsheet and the first backsheet; a first outer cover on the garment facing side of the first backsheet; 2) a second absorbent body on the garment facing side of the first absorbent body, having: a second topsheet; a second absorbent core; and 3) a chassis on the garment facing side of the second absorbent core, the chassis having a water impermeable chassis backsheet; wherein the first outer cover and the second topsheet are bonded with a Temporary Bond which enables removing the first absorbent body from the remainder of the article.

Disclosed is an article having an absorbent assembly and an application structure, the absorbent assembly containing: 1) a first absorbent body having a first water permeable topsheet; a first water impermeable backsheet having a transverse dimension T1; a first absorbent core between the first topsheet and the first backsheet; a first outer cover on the garment facing side of the first backsheet; 2) a second absorbent body on the garment facing side of the first absorbent body, having: a second water permeable topsheet having a transverse dimension T3; a second absorbent core; and 3) a chassis on the garment facing side of the second absorbent core, the chassis containing a water impermeable chassis backsheet; wherein T1 is greater than T3, and wherein the first outer cover and the second topsheet are bonded with a Temporary Bond which enables removing the first absorbent body from the diaper article.
