1. An incontinence article in the form of pants for receiving body excrements, the article comprising: a front belly section; a rear back section, said rear back section connected to said front belly section at side seam areas on both sides during production to form a belly and back band which is continuous in a transverse or peripheral hip direction to define a hip opening which is closed in said peripheral hip direction; a crotch section having a center at which an absorbent body is disposed, said crotch section extending in a longitudinal direction between and permanently attached to said belly section and said back section, wherein said crotch section, said belly section, and said back section define leg openings of the incontinence article, said belly section and said back section having an edge contour, which extends towards a transverse center axis of said crotch section and which differs from said transverse or peripheral hip direction to define said leg openings; first elastification means disposed in said belly section and said back section, said first elastification means extending at a separation from and parallel to each other in said transverse or peripheral hip direction to thereby extensively elasticise said belly section and said back section; and second elastification means disposed in an area of said belly section and said back section on a crotch side facing said leg openings, said second elastification means extending from said two side seam areas to slant towards said center of said crotch section, thereby fanning out with increasing separation from each other in a first area of said belly section and said back section on said crotch side facing said leg openings, wherein said second elastification means are disposed, structured and dimensioned such that said fanning out of said second elastification means generates a first restoring force in response to stretching of said first area, which decreases towards said center of said crotch section.
