Absorbent articles with frangible pathways adapted for tear propagation between regions of laminates having different numbers of layers of substrates

An absorbent article comprising:

• a first belt comprising an inner wearer facing surface and an outer garment facing surface, the first belt further comprising a laterally extending inner edge and a laterally extending outer edge, the outer edge positioned longitudinally outward of the inner edge, the first belt further comprising a first region and a second region, wherein the first region comprises a first number of layers of substrates and the second region comprises a second number of layers of substrates, wherein the first number of layers substrates is greater than second number of layers of substrates;
• a second belt, wherein laterally opposing end portions of the second belt are connected with laterally opposing end portions of the first belt at a first side seam and a second side seam to form a waist opening;
• a chassis comprising a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core positioned between the topsheet and the backsheet, and wherein longitudinally opposing end regions of the chassis are connected with the first belt and the second belt;
• and
• a frangible pathway in the first belt comprising first lines of weakness positioned in the first region, second lines of weakness positioned in the second region, and at least one transition line of weakness extending partially through the first region and the second region;
• and
• wherein the first belt further comprises a first substrate and a second substrate, wherein the first substrate comprises a laterally extending first edge, a laterally extending second edge, a first surface and an opposing second surface, wherein the second substrate comprises a laterally extending first edge, a laterally extending second edge, a first surface and an opposing second surface, wherein the second surface of the first substrate is in a facing relationship with the first surface of the second substrate, wherein the first substrate is folded along a fold line such that a first portion of the first substrate is in a facing relationship with a second portion of the first substrate, and wherein the first portion extends longitudinally between the fold line and the first edge of the first substrate, and wherein the second portion extends longitudinally between the fold line and the second edge of the first substrate.
