ABSORBENT ARTICLE AND METHOD FOR MAKING THE SAME

摘要

An absorbent article 1 includes a chassis 3, an absorbent structure 2 placed on the chassis 3 and elastic elements 6 attached under tension to the chassis 3 so as to extend across an absorbent structure region 4 of the chassis 3 occupied by the absorbent structure 2 and to extend outward beyond opposite side edges of the absorbent structure 2. An elongation percentage of the elastic elements 6 is relatively low in the absorbent structure region 4 as well as in first side regions 5a outside opposite side edges of the absorbent structure 2 and the elongation percentage is relatively high in second side regions 5b outside the first side region 5a and graduately increases as the elastic elements 6 draw away from the first side regions 5a toward the second side regions 5b.
