The invention relates to methods of fabricating absorbent articles. In a method of the invention, a bodyside liner (12), an absorbent core (13), and an outer cover (14) are joined to form an absorbent article web sausage (22). Leg cut-outs (32) are cut on opposing sides of the web sausage (22), and a waist opening is cut in a central region of the web sausage (22). Adhesive is applied to one of (i) a waist piece material and (ii) the web sausage (22) about the waist opening; and also to one of (iii) extensible leg cuff material and (iv) the web sausage (22) adjacent the leg cut-outs (32). A waist piece (55) is severed from waist piece material, and is placed over the waist opening and secured to the web sausage (22). Leg cuffs (45) are severed from the leg cuff material, and are placed over the leg cut-outs (32) and secured to the web sausage (22). The waist piece (55) and leg cut-outs (32) are preferably stretched to a dimension representing about 5 % to about 95 % of stretch-to-stop dimensions when bonded to the web sausage (22). |
