Absorbent article having unitary waistcap and waistband.

摘要

An integral disposable absorbent article such as a diaper is provided with an absorbent core (44); a liquid impervious backsheet (42); a liquid pervious topsheet (38); an elasticized waistband to enhance the fit of the diaper about the wearer; and a waistcap which presents a barrier to prevent the leakage of body exudates from the diaper. A single piece of elastomeric material serves as both the waistband and the waistcap (78).
