A method for making a zoned apertured nonwoven web , the method comprising: providing a nonwoven web comprising: a plurality of first weakened locations in a first zone of the nonwoven web that are situated in a first pattern; and a plurality of second weakened locations in a second zone of the nonwoven web that are situated in a second pattern that is different than the first pattern; advancing the nonwoven web in a machine direction, wherein the first zone is positioned further upstream than the second zone relative to the machine direction; incrementally stretching the nonwoven web to locally extend portions of the nonwoven web in a direction substantially parallel to a cross machine direction to cause the nonwoven web to rupture at some of the first and second pluralities of weakened locations in the first and second zones; and applying a substantially cross machine directional tensioning force to the nonwoven web to cause the nonwoven web to further define at the some of the first and second pluralities of weakened locations in the first and second zones to create: a plurality of first apertures in the nonwoven web coincident with the some of the first plurality of weakened locations in the first zone ; and a plurality of second apertures in the nonwoven web coincident with the some of the second plurality of weakened locations in the second zone; wherein the cross machine directional width of the nonwoven web after the applying step is substantially the same in the first zone and the second zone and wherein the cross machine directional width of the nonwoven web in the first zone is within 3mm of the cross machine directional width of the nonwoven web in the second zone after the applying step. a plurality of first weakened locations in a first zone of the nonwoven web that are situated in a first pattern; and a plurality of second weakened locations in a second zone of the nonwoven web that are situated in a second pattern that is different than the first pattern; advancing the nonwoven web in a machine direction, wherein the first zone is positioned further upstream than the second zone relative to the machine direction; incrementally stretching the nonwoven web to locally extend portions of the nonwoven web in a direction substantially parallel to a cross machine direction to cause the nonwoven web to rupture at some of the first and second pluralities of weakened locations in the first and second zones; and applying a substantially cross machine directional tensioning force to the nonwoven web to cause the nonwoven web to further define at the some of the first and second pluralities of weakened locations in the first and second zones to create: a plurality of first apertures in the nonwoven web coincident with the some of the first plurality of weakened locations in the first zone ; and a plurality of second apertures in the nonwoven web coincident with the some of the second plurality of weakened locations in the second zone; wherein the cross machine directional width of the nonwoven web after the applying step is substantially the same in the first zone and the second zone and wherein the cross machine directional width of the nonwoven web in the first zone is within 3mm of the cross machine directional width of the nonwoven web in the second zone after the applying step. a plurality of first apertures in the nonwoven web coincident with the some of the first plurality of weakened locations in the first zone ; and a plurality of second apertures in the nonwoven web coincident with the some of the second plurality of weakened locations in the second zone; wherein the cross machine directional width of the nonwoven web after the applying step is substantially the same in the first zone and the second zone and wherein the cross machine directional width of the nonwoven web in the first zone is within 3mm of the cross machine directional width of the nonwoven web in the second zone after the applying step. <EOS>
