The present invention discloses a pant-type absorbent article with flat side seams, and a method for manufacturing the same. The absorbent article comprises of a front waist panel, a back waist panel, a crotch region having an absorbent pad and a pair of leg openings disposed between the front panel and the back panel on both sides of the crotch region. The body facing side of one waist panel is bonded to the non-body facing side of the other panel. This kind of bonding ensures that the side seams of the absorbent article stay flat during wear. The bonding is done by using adhesives, hook and loops, or by mechanical/ultrasonic means. In one embodiment of the present invention, the panels are bonded by using a perforated layer of adhesive, thereby enabling easy removal of the article by the wearer.
