Absorbent Article with Improved Garment-Like Character

A disposable absorbent article comprising:

• a) a chassis having a front region with a front edge, a rear region with a back edge, a crotch region between the front region and the rear region, and a pair of opposing longitudinal edges, said chassis comprising an absorbent core having front and back edges;
• b) first and second elastically elongatable ears, each of said first and second ears having upper and lower edges and a transverse axis, each of said upper and lower edges having proximal and distal ends, said first and second ears defining a back section of said absorbent article that is present between said back edge of said chassis and a line connecting the respective lower ends of the lower edge of said first and second ears;
• and
• c) first and second fastening tabs respectively connected to a distal portion of said first and second elastically elongatable ears, each of said first and second fastening tabs having upper and lower edges and a transverse axis, wherein said upper and lower edges of said fastening tabs are asymmetric relative to the transverse axis of the fastening tabs,
• wherein the back section of the chassis has an Average Peak Bending Force of less than 0.08N.
