Patent ID: 8652116

Claim:
A disposable absorbent article having a body-facing surface, a garment-facing surface, and at least a first end region, a second end region, and an intermediate region; wherein at least one of said first end region, second end region, or intermediate region comprises a first preferential bend structure having a first face and an opposing second face, said first preferential bend structure comprising a base layer and an auxiliary layer; wherein the base layer comprises a material composition having a compressive modulus of K base and a tensile modulus of T base ; wherein the auxiliary layer comprises a material composition having a compressive modulus of K aux and a tensile modulus of T aux ; wherein a sum of K base and T aux relative to a sum of K aux and T base causes the first preferential bend structure to exhibit a preferential bend wherein a first deforming force applied to the first face results in a first deflection and a second deforming force applied to the second face results in a second deflection which is equal to the first deflection, and wherein the second deforming force is not equal to the first deforming force.
