Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a disposable pant-type article (1) The article comprises a front panel (3), a back panel (4), and a crotch section (5). The front panel is joined to the back panel by a first side seam (21) and a second side seam (22), such that the article forms a waist opening (12). A waist edge (31) of the front panel and a waist edge (41) of the back panel are cut edges. The front panel and the back panel each comprises a waist elastics zone (131; 231) and a belly elastics zone (133; 233). The front panel and the back panel each comprises a first layer (3a; 4a) and a second layer (3b; 4b). A plurality of elastomeric strands (300; 400) is sandwiched between the first layer and the second layer in the waist elastics zone and in the belly elastics zone, the elastomeric strands being aligned substantially in parallel with each other and with a transversal direction (T) and being spaced apart from each other in a longitudinal direction (L). The first layer is attached to the second layer by weld-bonding, the elastomeric strands being attached between the first and the second layer by means of the weld-bonding.
