Abstract
A disposable absorbent garment includes front and rear panels with zones of elastification and non-elastication in the abdomen and rear regions of the garments. The zones of elastification comprise an elastified region, and a non-elastified region or a de-elastified region. The elastified non-elastified or de-elastified regions work in tandem to provide greater contour support and improved fit.
