Abstract: An absorbent article includes a first waist region, a second waist region, and a crotch region disposed between the first and second waist regions. The article also includes a chassis having a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and backsheet; and an ear joined to the chassis. The ear includes a laminate formed from a first nonwoven and second nonwoven and an elastomeric material sandwiched between said first and second nonwovens. The laminate further includes a plurality of ultrasonic bonds.

Abstract: A taped absorbent article is provided. The taped absorbent article includes a chassis comprising a topsheet, a backsheet, an absorbent core positioned at least partially intermediate the topsheet and the backsheet, and an outer cover nonwoven material joined to the backsheet. The outer cover nonwoven material comprises a first mechanical bond pattern. The taped absorbent article includes a discrete ear laminate joined to the chassis. The discrete ear laminate includes a first nonwoven material having a garment-facing surface, a second nonwoven material having a wearer-facing surface, a plurality of ultrasonic bonds, and an elastic member positioned at least partially intermediate the first and second nonwoven materials. The garment-facing surface of the first nonwoven material comprises a second mechanical bond pattern. The first and second mechanical bond patterns are substantially the same. The outer cover nonwoven material is substantially the same as, or the same as, the first nonwoven material.
