Pant-like disposable absorbent articles with an easy opening feature.

摘要

A pant-like, refastenable, disposable absorbent article (20) includes an absorbent chassis (28) and a pair of opposed side panels (48). The absorbent chassis defines a pair of laterally opposed side edges (30) and a pair of longitudinally opposed waist edges (32). The side panels (48) extend between the side edges (30) of the absorbent chassis to define a waist opening and a pair of leg openings in the pant-like disposable absorbent article (20). Each of the opposed side panels (48) defines a first side margin (52) which is permanently attached to the side edge (30) of the absorbent chassis in a back waist region (24) of the absorbent article to provide a permanent joint (76). Each of the opposed side panels further defines a second side margin (50) opposite the first side margin (52) which is refastenably attached to the side edge of the absorbent chassis in the front waist region of the absorbent article to provide a refastenable joint (78).
