An extensible composite including a first layer and a second layer, the first layer having a first layer first surface and a first layer second surface opposing the first layer first surface, the first layer being constructed of a non-woven material, the second layer having a second layer first surface facing the first layer first surface and a second layer second surface opposing the second layer first surface, the second layer being constructed of an elastomeric material and including a plurality of ribs extending from at least the second layer first surface, wherein at least a portion of the first layer first surface is attached to the second layer first surface at a plurality of attachment positions and the first layer and the second layer are configured to define a space between the first layer first surface and the second layer first surface between adjacent attachment positions.

Extensible composite having ribs

An elastic composite includes a first nonwoven, a second nonwoven, and two elastic films sandwiched between the first and second nonwoven. The elastic composite also includes a lateral edge portion where the first nonwoven is bonded to the second nonwoven, a lane between the elastic films that is free of the elastic films, and a first bond joining the first nonwoven to the elastic film, and a second bond joining the second nonwoven to the elastic film. The elastic composite may be used as a component of a disposable garment.
