An absorbent article having a skin facing side, a garment facing side, a longitudinal axis, and a transverse axis, the absorbent article comprising: 1) a water permeable topsheet extending in the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction; 2) a water impermeable backsheet extending in the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction, and having a pair of longitudinal side edges; 3) an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the back sheet, the backsheet extending beyond the absorbent core in both the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction; 4) an outer cover layer disposed on the garment facing side of the backsheet, the outer cover layer at least coextensive with the backsheet; and 5) a pair of outer cuffs for providing leg gasketing function, each outer cuff comprising: a) a cuff sealing disposed in a longitudinally extending manner, the cuff sealing located transversely between the absorbent core and the longitudinal side edge of the backsheet, b) a first cuff elastic element comprising at least one elastic body disposed in a longitudinally extending manner, the first cuff elastic element located transversely inward of the longitudinal side edge of the backsheet, and no more transversely inward than 3mm from the cuff sealing; c) a second cuff elastic element comprising at least one elastic body disposed in a longitudinally extending manner, the second cuff elastic element located transversely outward of the longitudinal side edge of the backsheet; wherein the tensile force of each elastic body of the second cuff elastic element is no more than 70% of the tensile force of any elastic body of the first cuff elastic element; d) a cuff gap located between the of the first cuff elastic element and the second cuff elastic element, the cuff gap having a transverse width of at least 3mm; and e) a cuff fringe disposed in a longitudinally extending manner, the cuff fringe located transversely outward the second cuff elastic element, the cuff fringe having a transverse width of at least 5mm; wherein the cuff sealing bonds all of the materials existing in the thickness direction of the article where the cuff sealing is located. 1) a water permeable topsheet extending in the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction;
