Absorbent Articles Comprising Graphics

Abstract

An absorbent article may comprise a first zone comprising graphics and a second zone comprising graphics, wherein the first and second zones have different elastic properties. Further, the absorbent article may comprise a first absorbent article component and a second absorbent article component having substantially different elastic properties, wherein the first absorbent article component comprises an elastomer. Additionally, the absorbent article may comprise a third absorbent article component overlapping the first and second absorbent article components, wherein the third absorbent article component comprises graphics on at least the portions which overlap the first and second absorbent article components.

1 . A pull-on disposable absorbent article having a first waist region, a second waist region, and a crotch region disposed therebetween, wherein the pull-on disposable absorbent article comprises:
 a topsheet, a, backsheet, and an absorbent core;   a first side panel disposed in the first waist region, the first side panel comprising a first graphic in the form of multiple objects;   a second side panel disposed in the first waist region, the second side panel comprising a second graphic in the form of multiple objects;   a third side panel disposed in the second waist region, the third side panel comprising a third graphic in the form of multiple objects;   a fourth side panel disposed in the second waist region, the fourth side panel comprising a fourth graphic in the form of multiple objects;   wherein the backsheet comprises a fifth graphic in the form of multiple objects;   wherein a first edge, or portion adjacent thereto, of the first side panel abuts or overlaps a first side edge, or portion adjacent thereto, of the backsheet in the first waist region to form a first seam;   wherein a second edge, or portion adjacent thereto, of the first side panel abuts or overlaps a first edge, or portion adjacent thereto, of the third side panel to form a second seam;   wherein a first edge, or portion adjacent thereto, of the second side panel Abuts or overlaps a second side edge, or portion adjacent thereto, of the backsheet in the first waist region to form a third seam;   wherein a second edge, or portion adjacent thereto, of the second side panel abuts or overlaps a first edge, or portion adjacent thereto, of the fourth side panel to form a fourth seam;   wherein a second edge, or portion adjacent thereto, of the third side panel abuts or overlaps the first side edge, or portion adjacent thereto, of the backsheet to form a fifth seam and wherein a second edge, or portion adjacent thereto, of the fourth side panel abuts or overlaps the second side edge, or portion adjacent thereto, of the backsheet to form a sixth seam, such that the pull-on disposable absorbent article comprises leg openings and a waist opening and is in a pull-on configuration;   wherein at least a portion of each of the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth graphics are on a viewable outer surface of the pull-on disposable absorbent article;   wherein each of the first, second, third, and fourth side panels comprise a nonwoven, and wherein the first, second, third, and fourth graphics are printed on at least a portion of the nonwovens of each of the first, second, third, and fourth side panels;   wherein the backsheet comprises a film and a nonwoven, and wherein the fifth graphic is printed on at least a portion of the film and at least a portion of the nonwoven; and   wherein at least: two of the first, second, third, and fourth side panels have similar elastic properties; and   wherein the backsheet has substantially different elastic properties than each of the each of the first, second, third, and fourth side panels.
