Abstract

A disposable pull-on garment comprising an absorbent main body and a ring-like elastic belt is disclosed. The pull-on garment has a waist opening and leg openings and extends in a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction. The pull-on garment comprises an absorbent main body and a ring-like elastic belt. The absorbent main body comprises a liquid pervious topsheet, a liquid impervious backsheet and an absorbent core disposed therebetween. The absorbent main body has longitudinal side edges, transverse end edges, a front waist panel, a back waist panel and a crotch panel. The front waist panel and the back waist panel are not joined directly. The ring-like elastic belt is surrounded by a transverse waist border and a transverse abdomen border. The ring-like elastic belt has a central panel and side panels. The central panel is joined to the front waist panel and the back waist panel of the absorbent main body to form one waist opening and two leg openings. The ring-like elastic belt is not disposed in the crotch panel of the absorbent main body. The ring-like elastic belt comprises a front belt and a back belt. Each belt comprises a belt layer and a belt elastic material joined to the belt layer. The belt elastic material comprises a waist elastic material disposed adjacent the transverse waist border and a side elastic material disposed on the side panel. The waist elastic material of the back belt comprises a waist border elastic material and a waist anchoring elastic material extending between the waist border elastic material and the side elastic material. The waist anchoring elastic material generates a greater stress against an applied extension force than the side elastic material of the back belt.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to disposable pull-on garments that are donned by inserting the wearer's legs into the leg openings and pulling them up to a position near the lower torso. Background technique [0002] Many pull-on diapers use elastic elements that are secured within the waist and leg openings in an elastically contracted state. Typically, to ensure a complete elastic fit around the legs and waist such as is provided in durable undergarments, one encircles the leg openings and waist opening with elastic bands of rubber or other material positioned along the curve of the opening. An example of such a pull-on diaper is disclosed in EP 1 184 012 A1 published on March 6, 2002. The pull-on diaper disclosed in this patent includes an absorbent body and an outer member that covers the absorbent body and defines the contour of the diaper. The absorbent body is substantially rectangular and includes a liquid permeable topsheet, a liquid impermea...
