A belted absorbent article (10) having an absorbent structure (16) and a pair of opposed belt halves (12, 14) attached to the absorbent structure (16) via a respective joint (50). The joint (50) between each belt half (12, 14) and the absorbent structure (16) is designed such that when each belt half is subjected to a tension force of 35 N acting along the belt half and the direction of applied tension creates an angle ( alpha ) to the transverse axis (T) of the absorbent structure, the following minimum average release times (t) of each belt half from the absorbent structure are attained: when alpha = 10 DEG , t » 720 seconds; when alpha = 20 DEG , t » 330 seconds; when alpha = 25 DEG , t » 240 seconds; when alpha = 30 DEG , t » 180 seconds; and when alpha = 40 DEG , t » 75 seconds. |
