Abstract
A laminate having a cross-machine direction (CD) and a machine direction (MD) includes a core structure having a first surface and a second surface, an elastic net that is elastic in the CD, and a plastic film; and a nonwoven first facing layer affixed to the first surface. A method for producing a laminate includes providing an elastic net layer and a plastic film layer, wherein the elastic net layer is elastic in the CD; stretching the elastic net layer in the CD to less than 100 percent stretch; affixing the plastic film layer to the elastic net layer to form an elastic web having a first surface and a second surface; relaxing the elastic web; affixing a fibrous nonwoven web to the first surface of the elastic web to form a composite nonwoven elastic web; and activating the composite nonwoven elastic web.
