<p>An improved fit around leg openings and waist openings of pant-like absorbent garments is achieved using additional filler material around portions of the openings. The filler material is a resilient material that can be either uniform in thickness or can vary in thickness around the waist opening and the leg openings. As a result of the filler portions, flatter areas of contact between the garment and the wearer achieve greater curvature for placement of elastic strips on the garment, thereby relieving pressure on areas of contact having initially high curvature. The resulting garment has a gasket-like fit around the waist opening and leg openings with a reduced likelihood of leaving red marks on the wearer's skin due to tension.</p> |
