An absorbent article includes a unitary panel having a chassis with longitudinally opposed first and second ends and laterally opposed first and second edges. The unitary panel is separately attachable to the absorbent article, and includes first and second extensible zones located laterally distal from the first and second edges respectively of the chassis. The unitary panel includes first and second non-extensible zones located laterally distal from the first and second extensible zones. A method of making the absorbent articles includes providing a supply of panel material to an absorbent article forming station. The method also includes attaching pairs of fasteners spaced locations at sides of the material, and dividing or cutting the material to form a plurality of single-piece back panels having zoned elasticity. The method further includes attaching the back panel to an end of an article chassis, and attaching a front panel to the other end of the article chassis.
