主权项

1. A disposable wearable absorbent article comprising an absorbent core, an outer cover, wherein the outer cover has an outer cover modulus of elasticity, end edges, and an anchoring system including one or more tension carrying load distribution elements that are bonded to the absorbent core such that they collect loads from the absorbent core and transfer them to the hip region of the article to anchor the absorbent core to a wearer, wherein the outer cover includes a first portion, in which substantially all of the anchoring system is integral with the outer cover, and a second portion, outside of the first portion, and wherein the anchoring system is spaced apart from the end edges, and wherein the anchoring system at least partially overlaps a portion of the absorbent core, and wherein the anchoring system comprises a circumferential anchoring member, at least a portion of which traverses the hip region of the article, and that has an anchoring member modulus of elasticity that is greater than the outer cover modulus of elasticity;
and wherein the outer cover is bonded to the absorbent core where the load distribution elements are bonded to the absorbent core; and wherein the load distribution elements comprise a nonwoven and have been incrementally stretched.
