Absorbent article with elasticized region

A disposable absorbent article for wearing about the lower torso of a wearer, the disposable absorbent article comprising:

• a first waist region having a first waist edge, a second waist region having a second waist edge, a crotch region disposed between the first and second waist regions;
• and a first longitudinal edge and a second longitudinal edge;
• a chassis comprising a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and backsheet, and a chassis periphery defined by the first and second waist edges and the first and second longitudinal edges;
• and
• an elasticized component integral with or attached to the chassis and comprising an elasticized region and an outermost edge, wherein:
• the elasticized region comprises a first elastic member and a second elastic member, where the first elastic member is disposed between the second elastic member and the outermost edge;
• wherein the first elastic member is joined to the elasticized region at both a first contraction starting point and a first contraction ending point and has a first contraction region extending between the first contraction starting point and the first contraction ending point;
• and the second elastic member is joined to the elasticized region at both a second contraction starting point and a second contraction ending point and has a second contraction region extending between the second contraction starting point and the second contraction ending point;
• and
• wherein the first contraction region differs from the second contraction region by one of the group consisting of the length of the contraction region, amount of contraction, bonding material, bond strength, bond dimensions and combinations thereof.

• and
• an elasticized component integral with or attached to the chassis and comprising an elasticized region and an outer most edge, wherein:
• the elasticized region comprises a first set of elastic members extending in a first direction of extension and a second set of elastic members extending in a second direction of extension, where the first set of elastic members is disposed between the second set and the outermost edge;
• wherein the first set of elastic members is joined to the elasticized component at both a first set of contraction starting points and a first set of contraction ending points and wherein the second set of elastic members is joined to the elasticized component at both a second set of contraction starting points and a second set of contraction ending points;
• and
• wherein the first set of starting points is disposed on a first start axis that is substantially perpendicular to the first direction of extension and the second set of starting points is disposed on a second axis that is substantially perpendicular to the second direction of extension, and wherein the second start axis is different than the first start axis.
