An absorbent article having an inside surface that faces a wearer's body when the absorbent article is worn, and an outside surface opposite the inside surface, the absorbent article comprising: a chassis having a front waist portion, a back waist portion, and crotch portion extending between the front and back waist portions (10, 20), the chassis having longitudinal side edges and lateral side edges, the chassis comprising: a liquid pervious topsheet, a backsheet, at least a portion of the backsheet being liquid impervious, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet; an outer leg cuff (52, 54) disposed outward of each of the longitudinal side edges of the chassis, each of the outer leg cuffs (52, 54) having an inner longitudinal side edge attached along at least a portion of one of the longitudinal sides of the chassis and an outer longitudinal side edge having elastics forming a gather along at least a portion thereof; one or more inner leg cuffs (42, 44) disposed on the inside surface of the chassis along each of the longitudinal side edges thereof, each of the inner leg cuffs (42, 44) having a proximal longitudinal side edge directly attached to and along the outer longitudinal side edge of one of the outer leg cuffs (52, 54) and a distal longitudinal side edge having elastics forming a gather along at least a portion of the crotch portion; and one or more fastening components disposed at the outer longitudinal side of the outer leg cuffs which are adapted to fasten the absorbent article around the waist of the wearer; characterized in that each inner leg cuff (42, 44) is separate from the topsheet and backsheet between the proximal and distal longitudinal side edges (48, 46) so that each inner leg cuff (42, 44) is attached to the absorbent article along the at least a portion of the crotch portion only by virtue of its attachment to a corresponding outer leg cuff (52, 54). a chassis having a front waist portion, a back waist portion, and crotch portion extending between the front and back waist portions (10, 20), the chassis having longitudinal side edges and lateral side edges, the chassis comprising: a liquid pervious topsheet, a backsheet, at least a portion of the backsheet being liquid impervious, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet; a liquid pervious topsheet, a backsheet, at least a portion of the backsheet being liquid impervious, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet; an outer leg cuff (52, 54) disposed outward of each of the longitudinal side edges of the chassis, each of the outer leg cuffs (52, 54) having an inner longitudinal side edge attached along at least a portion of one of the longitudinal sides of the chassis and an outer longitudinal side edge having elastics forming a gather along at least a portion thereof; one or more inner leg cuffs (42, 44) disposed on the inside surface of the chassis along each of the longitudinal side edges thereof, each of the inner leg cuffs (42, 44) having a proximal longitudinal side edge directly attached to and along the outer longitudinal side edge of one of the outer leg cuffs (52, 54) and a distal longitudinal side edge having elastics forming a gather along at least a portion of the crotch portion; and one or more fastening components disposed at the outer longitudinal side of the outer leg cuffs which are adapted to fasten the absorbent article around the waist of the wearer; characterized in that each inner leg cuff (42, 44) is separate from the topsheet and backsheet between the proximal and distal longitudinal side edges (48, 46) so that each inner leg cuff (42, 44) is attached to the absorbent article along the at least a portion of the crotch portion only by virtue of its attachment to a corresponding outer leg cuff (52, 54).
