ABSTRACT:
An absorbent article including a containment assembly having a topsheet, a backsheet and an absorbent core placed between the topsheet and the backsheet. First and second extension ears extend laterally outwards from each one of the corresponding lengthwise edges of the containment assembly in the rear waist region, each one of the first and second extension ears have a close edge connected to the rear waist region, and a distant edge laterally separated outwards from the close edge. First and second elastic belts extend laterally outwards from each one of the corresponding lengthwise edges of the containment assembly in the rear waist region, or from each one of the corresponding extension ears. One of the first and second elastic belts has a close edge connected to the rear waist region, or to the distant edges of the first and second extension ears, and a distant edge laterally separated outwards from the close edge, the tying media being connected at the distant edge. The elastic belts have a structure which includes a top nonwoven layer portion, a back nonwoven layer portion and a layer portion of elastomer threads placed between the top and back nonwoven layer portions, jointly forming the elastic belts, which provide a maximum elasticity up to 500%, and in which the material of the top and back nonwoven layer portions provide an increased respirability characteristic.
