An absorbent article includes a first waist region, a second waist region and a crotch region disposed between the first and second waist regions. The absorbent article further includes a topsheet, a backsheet, an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet, and a laminate. The laminate has an elasticized region. The laminate includes a first nonwoven, a second nonwoven and an elastomeric material sandwiched between said first and second nonwovens in the elasticized region. The laminate includes a bonding region with a bond density of at least 4% and at least partially overlapping the elastomeric material. The laminate exhibits an Unload Force at 50% of at least 0.90 N.

Absorbent article with ear portion

Closure elements that include elastic and non-elastic regions are disclosed as well as absorbent articles that include closure elements.

Absorbent article with elastically elongatable panel

A coextrusion film has a core layer made of thermoplastic elastomer, and first and second outer layers sandwiching the core layer. The outer layers are each formed from a polymer having a lower elasticity than the thermoplastic elastomer of the core, each have a layer thickness of less than 15 &#x3bc;m, each have a density of less than 0.800 g/cm, and each have more than 500 gas-filled cells per 1 cubic millimeter of volume.

Coextrusion film and method of mixing

A composite web, with elastic and inelastic regions, is formed to separated or punched into diaper closure elements. The composite web includes nonwoven web which forms a first outer side of the composite web. On the composite web are disposed spaced-apart, elastically stretchable foil strips. A nonwoven material covers the elastically stretchable foil strips on a second outer side of the composite web. At least one inelastic strip of a hook material bridges a region between two adjacent, elastically stretchable foil strips. The nonwoven material overlaps edges of the strip of hook material. The strip of hook material has projections on the edges thereof that are overlapped by the nonwoven material. The projections extend into the nonwoven material.
