A method of dispensing adhesive onto a stretched elastic strand (28) includes applying a first volume of adhesive (30a) onto a first portion (L1) of the elastic strand, applying a second volume of adhesive (30b) onto a second portion (L2) of the elastic strand, and applying a third volume of adhesive (30c) onto a third portion (L3) of the elastic strand. The second volume is less than the first and third volumes. When the elastic strand (28) is adhered to a substrate (18, 26) to form a personal disposable hygiene product, the first and third portions (L1, L3) of the elastic strand (28) define opposing ends of the elastic strand, which are adhered with a larger amount of adhesive to resist creep at the opposing ends. The reduction of adhesive in the second or central portion (L2) between the opposing ends significantly reduces the adhesive add on in the personal disposable hygiene product. |
