Absorbent articles having textured zones
An absorbent article comprises a chassis having a belt portion extending therefrom. The belt portion comprises a side edge, a waist opening edge, a leg opening edge, first and second substrates engaged with each other, and elastic elements disposed intermediate the first substrate and the second substrate. The belt portion also comprises a first texture zone comprising a first portion of the substrates and the elastic strands and disposed adjacent to the side edge and the waist opening edge and a second texture zone comprising a second portion of the substrates and the elastic elements and disposed adjacent to the side edge and the leg opening edge. The first texture zone extends at least partially along a first lateral extent of the belt portion and the second texture zone extends at least partially along a second lateral extent of the belt portion.
1 . A pant comprising:
a chassis comprising:
a topsheet;
a backsheet; and
a core disposed at least partially intermediate the topsheet and the backsheet; and
a belt portion extending from the chassis, the belt portion comprising:
a first substrate;
a second substrate joined to the first substrate;
a plurality of elongate elastic elements disposed intermediate the first substrate and the second substrate;
a first elasticized texture zone comprising a first portion of the substrates and the elongate elastic elements;
a second elasticized texture zone comprising a second portion of the substrates and the elongate elastic elements;
wherein the first substrate and the second substrate are coextensive across the entire belt portion;
a first adhesive pattern in the first elasticized texture zone configured to join the first portion of the substrates and the elongate elastic elements; and
a second adhesive pattern in the second elasticized texture zone configured to join the second portion of the substrates and the elongate elastic elements, wherein the first adhesive pattern is different than the second adhesive pattern;
wherein the first adhesive pattern is configured to join the elongate elastic elements with the first portion of the substrates in a non-continuous fashion or the second adhesive pattern is configured to join the elongate elastic elements with the second portion of the substrates in a non-continuous fashion;
wherein the elongate elastic elements have a first elastic spacing in the first elasticized texture zone;
wherein the elongate elastic elements have a second elastic spacing in the second elasticized texture zone, and wherein the first and second elastic spacings are different;
wherein the first elasticized texture zone has a first frequency and a first amplitude;
wherein the second elasticized texture zone has a second frequency and a second amplitude, wherein the first frequency is different than the second frequency, and wherein the first amplitude is different than the second amplitude; and
wherein the second substrate is nested with the first substrate.
