A method of making of making a laminated backsheet having an integral landing zone, the method comprising:

• (a) providing an first web of nonwoven material;
• (b) mechanically prestraining at least a portion of said first web of material to provide said first web with an elongated portion and a nonelongated portion, said elongated portions including raised portions;
• (c) providing a second web of material in contact with said first web of nonwoven material, said second web of material including a film;
• and
• (d) joining said second web with said nonelongated portions of said first web, said elongated portion being free from said joining to said second web so as to provide the backsheet with an integral landing zone which includes at least some of said raised portions, said integral landing zone being capable of engaging a corresponding male component.
