An absorbent pants type article has a front waist-opening marginal stretchable region and a front waist stretchable region having upper, intermediate and lower stretchable subregions. The elongation stress of the front waist-opening marginal stretchable region is greater than the corresponding stress in the lower stretchable subregion. The stress in the lower stretchable region is greater than the stress in the upper stretchable subregion which is in turn greater than the stress in the intermediate stretchable subregion.
