ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an absorbent article, such as a sanitary napkin, incontinent device, or the like. The absorbent article includes a liquid pervious topsheet, a liquid impervious backsheet, and an absorbent core that lies between the topsheet and the backsheet. The absorbent article further includes a pair of longitudinally extending bands of web material positioned on the body surface of the topsheet on each side of a longitudinal centerline of the absorbent article and joined to at least one of the topsheet and the backsheet in a longitudinally elastically elongated state. The bands of web material include first and second regions which are visibly distinct from each other. The first region has at least two substantially planar portions and the second has a plurality of rib elements. In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, at least one of the substantially planar portions of the first region of the bands of web material extends in a substantially longitudinal direction and at least one other of the substantially planar portions of the first region of the bands of web material is oriented at an angle with respect to the longitudinal direction. Alternative embodiments of the present invention can also have flaps which extend laterally outward from a side edge of the central absorbent body positioned at least in a middle region of the absorbent article.
