A disposable pant-type absorbent article, such as a pant diaper, a sanitary pant or incontinence pant, for an adult user, the absorbent article has a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction and comprises a front body panel having a waist edge, a pair of leg edges (21a, 21b) and a pair of side edges (9a, 9b), a back body panel having waist edge, a pair of leg edges (27a, 27b), a pair of side edges (10a, 10b), a main section and a buttocks-covering section, and an absorbent insert located mainly in a crotch portion of the absorbent article and connected to the front and back body panels (3, 4) for bridging the gap between the front and back body panels (3, 4), wherein the absorbent insert comprises an absorbent core, wherein the front and back body panels (3, 4) are also joined to each other at opposite side edges (9a, 10a, 9b, 10b) to at least partly define a waist-opening and a pair of leg-openings, wherein the front body panel has a first at least partly elastic region extending along the leg edges (21a, 21b) of the front body panel, and a second at least partly elastic region located next to the first elastic region, wherein the back body panel has a third elastic region extending at least partly over the buttocks-covering section of the back body panel, wherein each of said elastic regions are elasticised by means of a plurality of elastic threads (11T-13T) arranged substantially in the transverse direction across a major portion of the front or back body panel (3, 4), and wherein a side edge (13L1) of the third elastic region overlaps in the longitudinal direction both a side edge of the first at least partly elastic region and part of a side edge of the second at least partly elastic region at the side seams (6a, 6b), wherein the back body panel further comprises a fifth elastic region extending along the waist edge of the back body panel and a sixth elastic region located between the third and fifth elastic regions (13, 15), wherein the length of the intervals in the longitudinal direction between neighbouring elastic threads is larger in the third elastic region than in the sixth elastic region, and the length of the intervals in the longitudinal direction between neighbouring elastic threads is larger in the sixth elastic region than in the fifth elastic region. a front body panel having a waist edge, a pair of leg edges (21a, 21b) and a pair of side edges (9a, 9b), a back body panel having waist edge, a pair of leg edges (27a, 27b), a pair of side edges (10a, 10b), a main section and a buttocks-covering section, and an absorbent insert located mainly in a crotch portion of the absorbent article and connected to the front and back body panels (3, 4) for bridging the gap between the front and back body panels (3, 4), wherein the absorbent insert comprises an absorbent core, wherein the front and back body panels (3, 4) are also joined to each other at opposite side edges (9a, 10a, 9b, 10b) to at least partly define a waist-opening and a pair of leg-openings, wherein the front body panel has a first at least partly elastic region extending along the leg edges (21a, 21b) of the front body panel, and a second at least partly elastic region located next to the first elastic region, wherein the back body panel has a third elastic region extending at least partly over the buttocks-covering section of the back body panel, wherein each of said elastic regions are elasticised by means of a plurality of elastic threads (11T-13T) arranged substantially in the transverse direction across a major portion of the front or back body panel (3, 4), and wherein a side edge (13L1) of the third elastic region overlaps in the longitudinal direction both a side edge of the first at least partly elastic region and part of a side edge of the second at least partly elastic region at the side seams (6a, 6b), wherein the back body panel further comprises a fifth elastic region extending along the waist edge of the back body panel and a sixth elastic region located between the third and fifth elastic regions (13, 15), wherein the length of the intervals in the longitudinal direction between neighbouring elastic threads is larger in the third elastic region than in the sixth elastic region, and the length of the intervals in the longitudinal direction between neighbouring elastic threads is larger in the sixth elastic region than in the fifth elastic region.
