ABSTRACT:
A method of making an elastic component for incorporation into a diaper. The elastic diaper component begins as an elastic laminate (e.g., an elastic layer and a fabric layer) having a recoverable extension of at least 20% when an extension force E1is applied. The method comprises the step of integratively pre-stretching the elastic laminate so that the elastic laminate will stretch to the same recoverable extension when a reduced extension force E2is applied. In this manner, when the elastic laminate is used in the elastic diaper component, a lesser fitting force Ffitis required to extend the elastic component to a desired length during an initial fitting of a diaper on a wearer.
