Absorbent article with leg gasketing system

An absorbent article having a skin facing side, a garment facing side, a longitudinal axis, a transverse axis, a pair of longitudinally extending side edges, and a pair of transversely extending end edges, the absorbent article comprising:

• an absorbent body comprising:
• a core chassis comprising:
• a liquid permeable topsheet;
• a liquid impermeable backsheet;
• an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet, the absorbent core having a smaller dimension than the backsheet in both the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction;
• an outer cover disposed on the garment facing side of the backsheet, the outer cover having a greater dimension than the absorbent core in the transverse direction, and the same or smaller dimension than the backsheet in both the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction;
• and
• a pair of core side regions defined as the region between the respective absorbent core side edges and the backsheet side edges;
• and
• a leg gasketing system made by a pair of water impermeable cuff material disposed laterally outside and wrapping the pair of sides edges of the core chassis, the leg gasketing system comprising:
• a pair of wearer facing cuff regions formed by inwardly extending the cuff material over a wearer facing side of the core chassis, each wearer facing cuff region comprising a longitudinally extending inner cuff sealing and a longitudinally extending inner cuff free edge positioned inward from the inner cuff sealing, wherein the inner cuff sealing bonds the cuff material and the topsheet, and an inner cuff elastic element is disposed adjacent the inner cuff free edge;
• and
• a pair of outer cuff elastic elements disposed on the wearer facing cuff regions;
• and
• an elastic belt attached to a garment facing side of the absorbent body, the elastic belt extending transversely from front and back regions of the absorbent body and seamed with each other, wherein the elastic belt is a ring-like elastic belt comprising a front belt and a back belt, wherein each of the front belt and the back belt have transversely continuous proximal and distal edges parallel to the transverse axis, wherein transverse edges of the front belt and the back belt are seamed with each other;
• wherein at least:
• the back belt and the leg gasketing system are configured such that a tensile force of the leg gasketing system is transmittable to the back belt;
• or
• the front belt and the leg gasketing system are configured such that a tensile force of the leg gasketing system is transmittable to the front belt.

• and
• a pair of core side regions defined as a region between respective absorbent core side edges and backsheet side edges;
• and
• a leg gasketing system made by a pair of water impermeable cuff materials disposed laterally outside and wrapping a pair of sides edges of the core chassis, the leg gasketing system comprising:
• a pair of wearer facing cuff regions formed by inwardly extending the cuff material over a wearer facing side of the core chassis, each wearer facing cuff region comprising a longitudinally extending inner cuff sealing and a longitudinally extending inner cuff free edge positioned inward from the inner cuff sealing, wherein the inner cuff sealing bonds the cuff material and the topsheet;
• a pair of garment facing cuff regions formed by inwardly extending the cuff material over a garment facing side of the core chassis;
• and
• a pair of outer cuff elastic elements disposed on the wearer facing cuff regions;
• wherein the garment facing cuff regions do not extend inward of the inner cuff sealing.
