Abstract:
1. A disposable diaper, comprising: a chassis having a front waist region, a rear waist region, a landing zone disposed on the front waist region, the landing zone comprising a loop material, and an integrally-formed, highly extensible fastening member extending laterally from the rear waist region to an outboard end and having a fastening member length (L), an extensible zone bounded by inboard and outboard extensible zone extents, a strengthened end region disposed outboard of the extensible zone, a fastener zone disposed on said strengthened end region, said fastener zone having first and second inboard fastener zone corners, said fastener zone having a Stiffness of at least about 1,500 N/m and having a fastener disposed thereon, the strengthened end region having an inboard length (LR) that is less than the fastening member length (L), the fastener comprising a hook material, wherein the loop material and the hook material form a fastening combination, wherein said fastening member extends from a junction line along a stretch direction transverse to said junction line, and ends at the outboard end, wherein said junction line connects first and second longitudinally outermost junction points on a first longitudinally outermost lateral edge and an opposing second longitudinally outermost lateral edge, respectively, of said fastening member, said first longitudinally outermost lateral edge having a first profile beginning at said first longitudinally outermost junction point and ending at said outboard end, and said second longitudinally outermost lateral edge having a second profile beginning at said second longitudinally outermost junction point and ending at said outboard end; wherein said fastening member has an acting width (WA) measured from an outboard edge of said fastener zone to said inboard extensible zone extent; said acting width is bounded by longitudinal lines W
