An elastic bandage comprising:

• a nonelastic absorbent nonwoven web;
• a plurality of meltspun elastomeric filaments adhesively attached to a first side of the nonwoven web;
• a non-elastic breathable web adhesively attached to a second side of the meltspun elastomeric filaments such that the meltspun elastomeric filaments are disposed between the nonwoven web and the breathable web;
• and
• a self adherent coating disposed upon one surface of the breathable web;
• wherein the breathable web is a laminate comprising a nonwoven web and a breathable film.
