Abstract:
1. An incontinence article in the form of pants for receiving bodily excretions, comprising: a front stomach portion having adjacent first and second stomach subregions defined by a first imaginary line extending parallel to a transverse direction of the incontinence article, said front stomach portion having a first crotch facing transverse periphery, wherein the first stomach subregion is distal from leg openings of the incontinence article and the second stomach subregion is proximate to the leg openings; a rear back portion arranged separate and spaced apart from the front stomach portion by a free space and having adjacent first and second back subregions defined by a second imaginary line extending parallel to the transverse direction, wherein the first back subregion is distal from the leg openings and the second back subregion is proximate to the leg openings, said rear back portion having a second crotch facing transverse periphery, wherein the first stomach subregion and the first back subregion each have at least one first layer, at least one second layer and first thread-like or band-like elasticating means for elasticating the first stomach subregion and the first back subregion across a surface area of the first stomach subregion and the first back subregion, said first elasticating means having a thread diameter and extending in the transverse direction, at a distance to one another, and parallel to one another, wherein the first elasticating means are secured between the at least one first and one second layers by strip-shaped adhesive zones provided respectively in the first stomach subregion and the first back subregion, said strip-shaped adhesive zones having a width in a longitudinal direction of the incontinence article which is greater than the thread diameter, said strip-shaped adhesive zones running parallel in the transverse direction, and being arranged at a distance M from one another in the longitudinal direction, and wherein not more than a one of the elasticating means is arranged within each of the strip-shaped adhesive zones; and a crotch portion comprising an absorbent body, a liquid-impermeable backsheet material and a topsheet material, and having a stomach-side long end and a back-side long end, wherein the absorbent body is arranged between the backsheet material and the topsheet material, wherein the topsheet material and/or the backsheet material form an overhang which extends outside of longitudinal peripheries of the absorbent body, wherein the crotch portion extends in the longitudinal direction of the incontinence article between the stomach portion and the back portion, said stomach-side long end extending up to the first imaginary line, and said back-side long end extending up to the second imaginary line, wherein the crotch portion overlaps the stomach portion in a front overlapping region and is joined inseparably to the stomach portion, wherein the crotch portion overlaps the back portion in a rear overlapping region and is joined inseparably to the back portion, wherein the crotch portion, the stomach portion and the back portion delimit the leg openings of the incontinence article, and wherein the stomach portion and the back portion have opposing side seam regions and are connected to each other at the side seam regions to form a stomach- and back band which is continuous in a waist-encircling direction of the incontinence article thereby defining a waist opening.
