Polymeric web having deformed sections which provide a substantially increased elasticity to the web

摘要

An elastic, three-dimensional, fluid pervious, polymeric web is provided for use as a topsheet on an absorbent article. The web has a plurality of beam-like elements connected to one another forming apertures in the web. A plurality of the beam-like elements have permanently deformed sections which allow the web to extend when the web is subjected to tension providing an increased elasticity to the web.
