Disposable pull-on garment having improved protection against red marking and method for making the same

A disposable diaper comprising:

• a chassis comprising:
• a liquid pervious topsheet;
• a liquid impervious backsheet;
• an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet;
• a front region;
• a back region;
• and
• a side;
• a first extensible ear panel in the front region, wherein the first extensible ear panel is a first discrete element from the chassis, wherein the first discrete element extends laterally outwardly from the side and forms a first portion of a wearer-facing surface of the diaper, and wherein the first extensible ear panel comprises:
• the side, and wherein the first extensible ear panel comprises:
• a first nonwoven material;
• a second nonwoven material;
• and
• a perforated film positioned at least partially intermediate the first and second nonwoven materials;
• a second extensible ear panel in the back region, wherein the second extensible ear panel is a second discrete element from the chassis wherein the second discrete element extends laterally outwardly from the side and forms a second portion of the wearer-facing surface of the diaper, and wherein the second extensible ear panel comprises:
• to the side, and wherein the second extensible ear panel comprises:
• a first nonwoven material;
• a second nonwoven material;
• and
• a perforated film positioned at least partially intermediate the first and second nonwoven materials;
• a butt seam joining portions the first and second discrete elements to form a leg opening;
• and
• an elasticized waistband on a wearer-facing surface of the diaper.
