forming at least one group of folded portions in at least one nonwoven web layer, each folded portion having a flattened, Z-configuration comprising a first fold line and a second fold line so that the folded portion is divided into a proximal section, a distal section and a medial section disposed between the proximal and distal sections; and
attaching the at least one nonwoven web layer to an elastomeric film layer so that the proximal section of each folded portion is directly attached to the elastomeric film layer and the medial and distal sections of each folded portion are not directly attached to the elastomeric film layer and so that the folded portions extend to allow the web panel to stretch elastically.
