Absorbent articles including front and back waist panels with different stretch characteristics

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 first waist edge, a second waist edge, a first longitudinal side edge;
• and a second longitudinal edge;
• a chassis comprising a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core positioned between the topsheet and the backsheet;
• leg gasketing elements extending from the first waist region to the second waist region;
• a first waist panel comprising an inboard lateral edge, an outboard lateral edge, and two longitudinal edges, the first waist panel comprising a first elastic film comprising a first end region separated from a second end region by a central region, wherein the central region of the first elastic film is bonded with a first nonwoven in a stretched state and wherein the first and second end regions are bonded with the first nonwoven in unstretched states, and wherein the first waist panel is connected with the chassis and positioned in the first waist region;
• a second waist panel comprising an inboard lateral edge, an outboard lateral edge, and two longitudinal edges, the second waist panel comprising a second elastic film bonded to a second nonwoven in a stretched state, and wherein the second waist panel is connected with the chassis and positioned in the second waist region;
• and
• wherein the first waist panel is bonded with the chassis with a first region of first pressure bonds, the first region of first pressure bonds extending longitudinally inboard from the outboard lateral edge of the first waist panel by a first distance D1;
• wherein the second waist panel is bonded with the chassis with a second region of second pressure bonds, the second region of second pressure bonds extending longitudinally inboard from the outboard lateral edge of the second waist panel by a second distance D2, wherein D1 is greater than D2;
• and
• wherein the first pressure bonds and the second pressure bonds impart different stretch characteristics to the first and second waist panels, respectively.
