Absorbent article with 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 a bodyside liner, an outer cover, and an absorbent body disposed between the bodyside liner and the outer cover, the chassis including a body facing surface and a garment facing surface and having a first chassis longitudinal side edge and a second chassis longitudinal side edge;
• a pair of containment flaps including a first containment flap and a second containment flap, the first containment flap being on a first side of the longitudinal axis and the second containment flap being on a second side of the longitudinal axis, the first and second containment flap each comprising:
• a base portion coupled to the chassis, the base portion including a proximal end and a distal end, and
• a projection portion configured to extend away from the body facing surface of the chassis in at least the crotch region when the absorbent article is in a relaxed configuration, the projection portion further comprising tack-down regions in the front waist region and the rear waist region where the projection portion is bonded to the body facing surface of the chassis;
• and
• a waist containment member disposed on the body facing surface of the chassis, the waist containment member comprising:
• a proximal portion coupled to the body facing surface of the chassis, the proximal portion overlapping, in a vertical direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and the lateral axis, a tack-down region of the projection portion of each containment flap, and
• a distal portion comprising a distal free edge, the distal portion and distal free edge of the waist containment member being free to move with respect to the chassis when the absorbent article is in the relaxed configuration, and the distal free edge being disposed closer to the lateral axis than the tack-down regions of the containment flaps which vertically overlap the proximal portion, and
• wherein the waist containment member comprises a fold separating the distal portion from the proximal portion, the fold vertically overlapping the tack-down region of the projection portion of each containment flap.
