Absorbent article with compressible waist containment member and method of manufacturing thereof

An absorbent article including a front waist region, a rear waist region, a crotch region, a longitudinal axis and a lateral axis, the absorbent article comprising:

• a chassis including an absorbent body, the chassis including a body facing surface;
• a waist containment member disposed on the body facing surface of the chassis, the waist containment member comprising:
• a proximal portion being coupled to the body facing surface of the chassis;
• a distal portion including a body facing surface, a garment facing surface, and a free edge, the distal portion being free to move with respect to the chassis when the absorbent article is in a relaxed configuration;
• at least one elastic member, the at least one elastic member being disposed in the distal portion of the waist containment member;
• and
• a compressible member coupled to the distal portion, the compressible member longitudinally overlapping the at least one elastic member.

An absorbent article including a front waist region, a rear waist region, a crotch region, a longitudinal axis and a lateral axis, the absorbent article comprising:

• a chassis including an absorbent body, the chassis including a body facing surface;
• a waist containment member disposed on the body facing surface of the chassis in the rear waist region of the absorbent article, the waist containment member comprising:
• a proximal portion being coupled to the body facing surface of the chassis;
• a distal portion including a body facing surface and a garment facing surface defining a thickness therebetween, the distal portion further including a free edge, a fold separating the distal portion from the proximal portion, the distal portion being free to move with respect to the chassis when the absorbent article is in a relaxed configuration, the thickness of the distal portion near the free edge being at least about four millimeters, the waist containment member comprising a material that is compressible such that the distal portion is configured to fill at least a portion of a gluteal depression of a wearer;
• wherein the waist containment member further comprises at least one elastic member, the at least one elastic member being disposed near the free edge of the distal portion of the waist containment member, the elastic member including a thickness of at least about 4.0 mm.
