Absorbent article with absorbent core

An absorbent article comprising:

• a first waist region, a second waist region, and a crotch region disposed between the first and second waist regions;
• a longitudinal centerline and a lateral centerline;
• a chassis comprising a topsheet, a backsheet and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet;
• and
• a waist feature joined to the chassis in at least one of the first waist region and the second waist region, wherein the waist feature comprises a free portion extending longitudinally outboard of the chassis and laterally outboard of the chassis in at least one of the first waist region and the second waist region such that the free portion does not overlap the chassis,
• wherein the backsheet comprises a barrier layer having a maximum length, LBS, extending between a first barrier lateral edge and a second barrier lateral edge;
• wherein the absorbent core comprises absorbent material enclosed in a core wrap, the core wrap having a maximum length, LCW, and wherein LCW is substantially the same as LBS,
• wherein the absorbent core comprises a pair of permanent channels substantially free of the absorbent material, and
• wherein portions of the waist feature at least partially wrap about the absorbent core.
