Abstract
An absorbent article having a front section, a central section and a rear section located along a longitudinal axis is described. A first pattern of adhesive is applied to the central section of a garment facing surface of the backsheet. The first pattern of adhesive has a first plurality of stripes extending substantially parallel to the transverse axis on a first side of the central longitudinal axis. A second plurality of stripes extends substantially parallel to the transverse axis on a second side of the central longitudinal axis. A first gap between the first plurality of stripes and the second plurality of stripes extends over the central longitudinal axis.

An absorbent article having a central longitudinal axis and a transverse axis perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis, the absorbent article comprising:
- a front section, a rear section, and a central section between the front section and the rear section, wherein each of the front section, the rear section, and the central section are located along the longitudinal axis;
- a backsheet having a garment facing surface;
- a first pattern of fastening adhesive applied to the front section of the garment facing surface of the backsheet, the first pattern of adhesive comprising:
- a first plurality of stripes extending substantially parallel to the transverse axis on the first side of the central longitudinal axis;
- a second plurality of stripes extending substantially parallel to the transverse axis on the second side of the central longitudinal axis;
- a second pattern of fastening adhesive applied to the rear section of the garment facing surface of the backsheet, the second pattern of adhesive comprising:
- a third plurality of stripes extending substantially parallel to the transverse axis on the first side of the central longitudinal axis;
- a fourth plurality of stripes extending substantially parallel to the transverse axis on the second side of the central longitudinal axis;
- a third pattern of fastening adhesive applied to a first region between the front section and the central section of the garment facing surface of the backsheet, the third pattern of adhesive comprising:
- a fifth plurality of stripes extending substantially parallel to the transverse axis on the first side of the central longitudinal axis;
- a sixth plurality of stripes extending substantially parallel to the transverse axis on the second side of the central longitudinal axis;
- a fourth pattern of fastening adhesive applied to a second region between the rear section and the central section of the garment facing surface of the backsheet, the fourth pattern of adhesive comprising:
- a seventh plurality of stripes extending substantially parallel to the transverse axis on the first side of the central longitudinal axis;
- an eighth plurality of stripes extending substantially parallel to the transverse axis on the second side of the central longitudinal axis.
