<p>An integral waistband for a disposable absorbent article having a waist opening is disclosed, along with a disposable absorbent article and a method of forming the article. The integral waistband includes an inner layer, an outer layer, and at least two elastic members positioned therebetween. Each of the inner and outer layers has a first end and a first surface. The inner and outer layers are bonded together such that the first end of the inner layer initially extends beyond the first end of the outer layer and the portion of the first surface of the inner layer bonded to the first surface of the outer layer forms a laminate. The remainder of the inner layer is a non-laminate. The non-laminate is folded over the outer layer and is bonded thereto to form an integral waistband located on the outer layer away from the waist opening.</p> |
