Abstract
A unitary disposable absorbent article such as a diaper is provided with an absorbent core; a liquid impervious backsheet; a liquid pervious topsheet; and a waistpanel positioned over and joined to said topsheet adjacent at least one of the end edges of the absorbent article. The waistpanel provides a waist feature that reduces the potential of liquids to wick between the skin of the wearer and the topsheet, reduces the potential for rollover of the waist portion of the absorbent article, and provides a soft, skin friendly, breathable waist feature.
