Extrusion bonded laminates for absorbent articles

An absorbent article comprising:

• a topsheet;
• an outer cover;
• an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and outer cover;
• wherein the outer cover comprises an extrusion bonded laminate, the extrusion bonded laminate comprising:
• a multi-layer coextruded elastomeric film, comprising a core layer, a first outer layer, and a second outer layer, wherein the core layer is between the first and second outer layers;
• a nonwoven consisting of fibers and/or filaments;
• wherein the first outer layer is non-adhesively joined to the nonwoven via extrusion coating;
• wherein the outer cover is elastic to at least about 50% engineering strain;
• wherein the nonwoven has a high chemical affinity for the first outer layer;
• wherein the first outer layer has a high chemical affinity for the core layer;
• and
• wherein the multi-layer coextruded elastomeric film has a basis weight no greater than about 25 gsm.
