Abstract:
1. A process for making an absorbent wearing article including an air permeable and liquid-impervious first backsheet and a liquid-retentive absorbent structure placed upon said first backsheet, comprising the steps of: continuously feeding continuous elastic members in a direction parallel to a machine direction to a continuous outer sheet continuously fed in said machine direction while said continuous elastic members are intermittently bonded under tension to the continuous outer sheet; making cuts extending orthogonally to said machine direction in the continuous outer sheet having said continuous elastic members bonded thereto so that said continuous elastic members are at least partially chopped off to form an opening by said cuts enlarged by contraction of said continuous elastic members adjacent to said cuts; and bonding the side of said absorbent structure facing said first backsheet to said continuous outer sheet to cover said opening.
