Absorbent articles with visually different chassis and waistbands

An absorbent article extending in a longitudinal direction and in a lateral direction, the absorbent article comprising:

• a front region having a front waist edge and comprising an elasticated front chassis region and an elasticated front waistband region;
• a rear region having a rear waist edge;
• a crotch region extending between the front region and the rear region;
• and
• an absorbent body disposed at least partially within the crotch region,
• wherein:
• the elasticated front chassis region comprises a plurality of elastomeric strands disposed between a first front chassis web material and a second front chassis web material,
• the first front chassis web material is bonded to the second front chassis web material by a plurality of discrete bonds, at least some of the discrete bonds forming bond pairs disposed on opposite sides of the plurality of elastomeric strands of the elasticated front chassis region and spaced apart in the longitudinal direction a distance less than an un-tensioned diameter of the plurality of elastomeric strands,
• the plurality of elastomeric strands of the elasticated front chassis region are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction a first average distance,
• the elasticated front waistband region comprises a plurality of elastomeric strands disposed between a first front waistband web material and a second front waistband web material,
• the first front waistband web material is bonded to the second front waistband web material by a plurality of discrete bonds, at least some of the discrete bonds forming bond pairs disposed on opposite sides of the plurality of elastomeric strands of the elasticated front waistband region and spaced apart in the longitudinal direction a distance less than an un-tensioned diameter of the plurality of elastomeric strands, and
• the plurality of elastomeric strands of the elasticated front waistband region are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction a second average distance, the second average distance being greater than the first average distance and being greater than 6.0 mm.

An absorbent article extending in a longitudinal direction and in a lateral direction, the absorbent article comprising:

• a front region having a front waist edge and comprising an elasticated front chassis region and an elasticated front waistband region;
• a rear region having a rear waist edge and comprising an elasticated rear chassis region and an elasticated rear waistband region;
• a crotch region extending between the front region and the rear region;
• and
• an absorbent body disposed at least partially within the crotch region,
• wherein:
• the elasticated front chassis region and the elasticated rear chassis region each comprise a plurality of elastomeric strands disposed between first chassis web materials and second chassis web materials,
• the first chassis web materials are bonded to the second chassis web materials by pluralities of discrete bonds, at least some of the discrete bonds forming bond pairs disposed on opposite sides of elastomeric strands of the elasticated front chassis region and the elasticated rear chassis region and spaced apart in the longitudinal direction a distance less than an un-tensioned diameter of the elastomeric strands,
• the elasticated front waistband region and the elasticated rear waistband region each comprise a plurality of elastomeric strands disposed between first waistband web materials and second waistband web materials,
• the first waistband web materials are bonded to the second waistband web materials by pluralities of discrete bonds, at least some of the discrete bonds forming bond pairs disposed on opposite sides of elastomeric strands of the elasticated front waistband region and the elasticated rear waistband region and spaced apart in the longitudinal direction a distance less than an un-tensioned diameter of the elastomeric strands,
• the plurality of discrete bonds within the elasticated waistband regions are arranged in longitudinally adjacent bond rows, the longitudinally adjacent bond rows of the elasticated front waistband region are spaced apart a first average row distance and the longitudinally adjacent bond rows of the elasticated rear waistband region are spaced apart a second average row distance,
• the plurality of discrete bonds within the elasticated chassis regions are arranged in longitudinally adjacent bond rows, the longitudinally adjacent bond rows of the elasticated front chassis region are spaced apart a third average row distance and the longitudinally adjacent bond rows of the elasticated rear chassis region are spaced apart a fourth average row distance,
