Abstract
An absorbent article that has a reduced tendency to shift when worn. The absorbent article includes a chassis with a front waist portion, a crotch portion, and a back waist portion. Side panels or ears are attached to the front and back waist portions of the chassis, and fastening components are attached to the back ears. Anti-skid elements are added to the outside surface and/or inside surface of the front side panels or ears and/or to the inside surface of the fastening tabs, such as by applying an elastomeric strip in a substantially vertical direction. When the absorbent article is fastened to the wearer attaching the fastening components on the back ears to the front waist portion of the absorbent article, the anti-skid elements interface with the front waist portion, the front ears, and/or the wearer to exert friction and thereby reduce shifting of the fastened absorbent article.
