In an absorbent article, such as a diaper or incontinence briefs, an elastic me mber (60) comprising a net-like elastic substrate (62) to which fibers (64, 66) are pre-bonded provides for a breathable elastic for use as a side- a waist- or leg elastic. The fibers that are bonded to the net-like substrate, for instance by hydro-entangli ng, ensure a soft and comfortable contact with the wearer's skin. In the side panels of the absorbent article, the elastic members have a large freedom of stretch without buckling taking place, thus reducing chances of leakage. When the elastic member is locat ed between the topsheet and the backsheet, a strong connection of topsheet to backsheet is established using a relatively small amou nt of adhesive.
