Abstract
A disposable hygiene article (), such as an incontinence diaper or incontinence pad has a composite non-woven fabric () that is provided with at least one cuff element () and a non-woven fabric or film component (). The cuff element () is attached to the non-woven fabric or film component () in at least some areas by means of a joining pattern () encompassing discrete ultrasonic welding points () in order to form the composite non-woven fabric (). At least some sections of the joining pattern () are curved. The joining pattern has a maximum index (I) of variation of the ultrasonic welding points of 40 percent. An area seized by the welding points has a density within the joining pattern which decreases in rear and front end portions along endwards directed and inwardly curved extensions of the joining pattern.
