A disposable absorbent article, such as a diaper (10), having a liquid impervious backsheet (12), a urine pervious liner, and absorbent core (16) intermediate the backsheet and liner is disclosed. The liner (24) has a passageway (26) to allow communication of solid waste materials to the core (16), thereby isolating such waste from the skin of the wearer. The liner is longitudinally contracted by elastic strands (28) disposed longitudinally nonadjacent the passageway (26), improving the fit of the article to the wearer without sacrificing leakage protection and allowing various sections of the article to assume independent functions. |
