Abstract
An absorbent article including a chassis having a front waist portion and a back waist portion, front side panels having an inside surface and an outside surface, back side panels having an inside surface and an outside surface, and seams adapted to attach the front side panels to the back side panels in an overlapped configuration offset toward the front waist portion, the seams made up of one or more fastening components attached to the outside surface of each of the back side panels.
Claims46
An absorbent article comprising:
- a chassis comprising a front waist portion and a back waist portion;
- a pair of front side panels extending outwardly from the front waist portion, the front side panels having an inside surface, an outside surface, a proximal edge, and a distal edge;
- a pair of back side panels extending outwardly from the back waist portion, the back side panels having an inside surface, an outside surface, a proximal edge, and a distal edge, the transverse distance between the proximal edge and the distal edge of each panel of the pair of back side panels being between 1.5 and 4 times greater than the transverse distance between the proximal edge and the distal edge of each panel of the pair of front side panels;
- and
- a pair of refastenable side seams adapted to attach the front side panels to the back side panels in an overlapped configuration offset toward the front waist portion, wherein each seam of the pair of refastenable side seams has a basis weight of less than 400 grams per square meter, the refastenable side seams comprising first fastening components positioned at the outside surface of each back side panel and second fastening components positioned at the inside surface of each front side panel.

- a pair of front side panels extending outwardly from the front waist portion, each front side panel having an inside surface, an outside surface, a proximal edge, and a distal edge;
- a pair of back side panels extending outwardly from the back waist portion, each back side panel having an inside surface, an outside surface, a proximal edge, and a distal edge, the transverse distance between the proximal edge and the distal of each panel of the pair of back side panels being between 1.5 and 4 times greater than the transverse distance between the proximal edge and the distal edge of each panel of the pair of front side panels;
- and
- a pair of non-refastenable, sealed side seams joining the front side panels to the back side panels, the pair of sealed side seams being adapted to attach the front side panels to the back side panels in an overlapped configuration offset toward the front waist portion.
