Film-nonwoven laminate containing an adhesively-reinforced stretch-thinned film

An adhesively-reinforced film-nonwoven laminate comprising:

• a first fibrous nonwoven layer having a surface;
• a film layer having a first surface;
• said film layer being oriented in a direction of stretching and having an effective gauge of 0.6 mil or less;
• said film layer being formed from a blend including, on a total weight percent basis based upon the total weight of the film layer, from about 30 percent to about 70 percent of a first polyolefin polymer, from about 70 percent to about 30 percent of a filler, and from about 0 to about 20 percent of a second polyolefin polymer;
• said film layer having a water vapor transmission rate of at least about 300 grams per square meter per 24 hours;
• a pattern of adhesive areas applied to said first surface of said film layer;
• said pattern of adhesive areas having an add-on amount of from about 0.1 to about 20 grams per square meter, a percent bond area of from about 5 percent to about 50 percent per unit area of said surface of said film layer, and a maximum spacing between adhesive areas in a direction generally parallel to said direction of stretching of about 1.0 inch or less;
• said surface of said fibrous nonwoven layer being adhered to said first surface of said film layer by said pattern of adhesive areas applied to said first surface of said film layer to form a laminate.
