摘要

Absorbent articles such as disposable dia- pers, incontinent briefs, diaper holders, training pants, feminine hygiene garments and the like, that have a unique waist feature that improves the dynamic fit as well as the containment charac- teristics of the absorbent article. Such absorbent articles comprise a chassis assembly preferably comprising a liquid pervious topsheet, a liquid impervious backsheet, and an absorbent core po- sitioned between the topsheet and the backsheet; an extensible waist belt; and a closure system for maintaining the absorbent article on the wearer. The extensible waist belt provides an extensi- ble feature that provides a more comfortable and contouring fit by initially conformably fitting the diaper so the wearer and by sustaining this fit. While each extensible waist belt may be con- structed from a number of extensible materials, the extensible waist belt preferably comprises a structural elastic-like film web. The structural elastic-like film (SELF) web exhibits an elastic- like behavior is the direction of elongation with- out the use of added elastic materials.
