<p>Disclosed is an absorbent article, such as a sanitary napkin, incontinent device, or the like. The absorbent article comprises a liquid pervious topsheet, a liquid impervious backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet. The absorbent article further comprises a pair of longitudinally extending cuffs disposed on the body surface of the topsheet on each side of a longitudinal centerline of the absorbent article. The cuffs comprise an elastic member and a resilient member and are joined to at least one of the topsheet and the backsheet in a longitudinally elastically elongated state. The elastic member preferably comprises first and second regions which are visibly distinct from each other. The first region comprises at least two substantially planar portions and the second comprises a plurality of raised, rib-like elements. In a particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention, at least one of the substantially planar portions of the first region of the bands of web material extends in a substantially longitudinal direction and at least one other of the substantially planar portions of the first region of the elastic member is oriented at an angle with respect to the longitudinal direction. The resilient member is soft yet sufficiently resilient to resist the compressive forces applied to the cuffs by normal wearer movement. The resilient member is positioned sufficiently close to the body surface of the topsheet to also provide resistance to bending that may also be caused by normal bodily movements.</p> |
