Abstract
A laminated structure, such as a disposable diaper is provided which includes elastic in the margin to provide gasketing about the legs and, if desired, an improved fit about the waist. A method is provided for placing elastic only in the areas to be gathered and removing the unused elastic. In the method stretched elastic is intermittently adhered to a web substrate along a longitudinal line at the terminating portion of the gasketed area. The elastic is then severed adjacent the adhered portions and the unused elastic is removed.
