Refastenable disposable garment having a curled edge, and process for making same

A process for making a refastenable disposable absorbent garment, the garment defining a longitudinal axis extending in a longitudinal direction and a transverse axis extending in a transverse direction, the garment further comprising longitudinally spaced apart first and second waist edges extending generally in the transverse direction, the process comprising:

• providing an elastomeric waist panel web;
• stretching the elastomeric waist panel web by at least 10% to create a stretched waist panel web;
• attaching a non-extensible, relatively rigid first fastening component to the stretched waist panel web;
• severing the waist panel web adjacent the first fastening component to create a first waist region first portion;
• incorporating the first waist region first portion into a first waist region of the garment,
• wherein the first waist region is contiguous with the first waist edge, the first waist region defining a first side edge extending in the longitudinal direction, the first waist region defining opposed first and second surfaces, wherein the first waist region is elastomeric proximal the first side edge of the first waist region,
• the first fastening component being attached to the first surface of the first waist region adjacent its first side edge, the first fastening component having a length,
• wherein the first waist region defines a first flange portion transversely outward of the first fastening component,
• wherein the first flange portion is transversely curled toward the second surface of the first waist region along a first flange portion curled length.
