ABSTRACT:
An absorbent article (10) has a front waistband portion (12), a back waistband portion (14) and an intermediate portion (16) which interconnects the front and back waistband portions. The article includes a backsheet layer (30), an absorbent retention portion (48) superposed on the backsheet layer (30), and a liquid permeable topsheet layer (28) superposed on the retention portion (48) and connected to sandwich the retention portion between the topsheet and backsheet layers. At least one elasticized side panel (58) is connected to a lateral end region (40) of the back waistband portion (14) of the article. The side panel (58) is constructed with a flap fastener (74) for interconnecting with the article to thereby form an assembled bridge flap (180), which extends about a wearer's body and provides a bodyside surface for contacting the wearer. Article fastening means (36) are connected to the article for securing the article front waistband portion (12) to the article back waistband portion (14) to thereby encircle the wearer with the article waistband portions. Waistband-edge attaching means (112, 104) are connected to the elasticized side panel (58) for securing a longitudinally terminal waistband edge of the assembled bridge flap (180) to the front waistband portion (12) of the article.
