Abstract

The invention relates to absorbent articles (170) that have a pair of opposed back ear portions (190) extending laterally outward from the side edges of a back waist region of the article and a pair of opposed front ear portions (180) extending laterally outward from the side edges of a front waist region of the article. The back ear portions (190) and the front ear portions (180) are formed from the same material web (100). The material web (100) can include one or more types of materials. The back ear portions and the front ear portions have shape profiles that permit the back ear portions and the front ear portions to be nested with each other in the cross direction (215) and the machine direction (205) of the material web.
