Wearable article having elastic belt

A wearable article comprising a main body and an elastic belt comprising a front belt and a back belt, the main body being continuous with the front belt and the back belt, and the transversely opposed side edges of the front belt and the back belt are joined to form laterally opposed side seams such that a waist opening and two leg openings are formed;

• wherein each of the front belt and back belt are formed by an inner sheet, an outer sheet, and a plurality of elastic bodies sandwiched therebetween;
• wherein at least some of the plurality of elastic bodies run in the transverse direction substantially parallel to each other;
• wherein each front belt and back belt have transversely continuous proximal and distal end edges, the proximal edge being located closer than the distal edge relative to a transverse center axis of the article;
• wherein an entire length of the transverse edge of the front belt is seamed with less than an entire length of the transverse edge of the back belt to define a seam length LS;
• wherein the front belt is divided into 4 zones extending in the transverse direction and each zone being defined by a location from the distal edge to the proximal edge relative to the percentage of the seam length LS wherein;
• 0-25% is a front waist zone, 25-50% is a front distal tummy zone, 50-85% is a front proximal tummy zone, and 85-100% is a front leg zone;
• wherein the back belt is divided into 4 zones extending in the transverse direction and each zone being defined by a location from the distal edge to the proximal edge relative to the percentage of the seam length LS wherein;
• 0-25% is a back waist zone, 25-50% is a back distal tummy zone, 50-85% is a back proximal tummy zone, and 85-100% is a back leg zone;
• wherein the tensile stress of the front proximal tummy zone is higher than the tensile stress of any of the front waist zone, the front distal tummy zone, or the front leg zone;
• and
• wherein the tensile stress of the back distal tummy zone is higher than any of the tensile stress of the back waist zone, the back proximal tummy zone, or the back leg zone.
