Leg gasketing system for absorbent articles

An absorbent article comprising:

• a first waist region and a second waist region longitudinally separated from the first waist region by a crotch region;
• a chassis comprising a topsheet, a backsheet;
• and an absorbent core positioned between the topsheet and the backsheet, wherein the chassis further comprises a first lateral end edge in the first waist region longitudinally separated from a second lateral end edge in second waist region and comprising a longitudinal length CL of from about 400 mm to about 600 mm extending between the first lateral end edge and the second lateral end edge, and wherein the chassis further comprises a first longitudinal side edge laterally separated from a second longitudinal side edge;
• a leg gasketing system comprising a first barrier cuff and a second barrier cuff laterally separated from the first barrier cuff;
• a proximal bond region connecting the first barrier cuff with the chassis adjacent the first longitudinal side edge, the proximal bond region extending longitudinally for substantially the same length CL as the chassis, the first barrier cuff extending laterally inward toward the second barrier cuff from the proximal bond region to a distal edge;
• a first end bond region adjacent the first lateral end edge of the chassis, the first end bond region connecting the first barrier cuff with the chassis, wherein the first end bond region extends longitudinally inward from the first lateral end edge and extends laterally inward from the proximal bond region toward the distal edge to define a first void region where the first barrier cuff is not bonded with the chassis between the first end bond region and the proximal bond region, wherein the first void region defines a first void volume adapted to accept bodily exudates;
• a second end bond region adjacent the second lateral end edge of the chassis, the second end bond region connecting the first barrier cuff with the chassis, wherein second end bond region extends longitudinally inward from the second lateral end edge and extends laterally inward from the proximal bond region toward the distal edge to define a second void region where the first barrier cuff is not bonded with the chassis between the second end bond region and the proximal bond region, wherein the second void region defines a second void volume adapted to accept bodily exudates;
• and
• wherein the first barrier cuff comprises a central segment extending longitudinally between a first segment and a second segment, the first segment extending longitudinally between the first end bond region and the central segment, and the second segment extending longitudinally between the second end bond region and the central segment, wherein the first barrier cuff is not bonded with the chassis between the proximal bond region and the distal edge in the first segment, the central segment, and the second segment, and
• wherein the first segment of the first barrier cuff comprises:
• a first cuff height defined by a distance between the proximal bond region and the distal edge, the second segment comprises a second cuff height defined by a distance between the proximal bond region and the distal edge, and the central segment comprises a central cuff height defined by a distance between the proximal bond region and the distal edge, and
• wherein the central cuff height is less than the first height and the second cuff height.
