Abstract
A disposable, absorbent article such as a diaper or an incontinence guard includes an absorbent pad disposed between inner and outer casing layers. At least one of the inner and outer casing layers is made of an elastic material having areas from which material has been removed while leaving coherent material parts in order to impart different elastic properties to different parts of the material. The material removed can be in the form of through holes or blind holes.
