CONVERTIBLE ABSORBENT ARTICLE WITH EXTENSIBLE SIDE ELS

摘要

A pant-like, refastenable, disposable absorbent article which defines a fron t waist region, a back waist region and a pair of opposed side panels which extend outwardly from the side edges of the absorbent chassis in the front o r back waist region. Each side panel includes an elastic zone providing panel extensibility and at least a pair of inextensible zones adjacent the elastic zone. Fastener components of the side panels are used to connect the front waist region to the rear waist region to define the pant-like article. The side panels may also be defined by a pair of side panel margins which extend outwardly from the side edges of the absorbent chassis in both the front wai st region and the back waist region and which are joined at the user's side.
