Absorbent article with elasticized leg cuffs

摘要

An absorbent article includes an outer cover, a bodyside liner, and an absorbent assembly disposed between the bodyside liner and outer cover. At least one of the bodyside liner and outer cover form side marginal portions which extend beyond the absorbent assembly. Elastic members of the absorbent article have a width dimension extending between opposite inner and outer edges, an inner zone adjacent the inner edge, and an outer zone adjacent the outer edge. The elastic members are elasticized over substantially the entire width dimension. The outer zone of each of the elastic members is bonded to one of the side marginal portions, and the inner zone of each of the elastic members forms a freestanding leg cuff.
