A disposable diaper with uniformly stretched elastic bands adhesively bonded along the entire length of both edges of the diaper with heavier concentrations of adhesive in the waistband portions than in the crotch portion to reduce gathering and creep of the elastic in the waistband portions. Preferably the diaper is of hour glass shape with the elastic outboard of the absorbent batt in the crotch portion and extending across the laterally extending ears of the absorbent batt in the waistband portions to further improve the stability thereof.

In a disposable diaper having an absorbent batt interposed between a fluid permeable facing sheet and a fluid impervious backing sheet and having a generally hour glass shape with a narrow centrally disposed crotch portion and wider waistband portions at the ends thereof, the improvement comprising, prestretched elastic means extending along the length of the diaper at each side, said elastic disposed outboard of the absorbent batt in the crotch portion and across the laterally extending ears of the absorbent batt in the waistband portions of the diaper, adhesive means for securing said elastic to at least one of said facing sheet and backing sheet substantially along the entire length of said diaper, said adhesive being applied in the form of longitudinally spaced apart concentrations, said concentrations in the waistband portion being substantially larger and more closely spaced than said concentrations in the crotch portions of the diaper to substantially decrease the retractive force of the stretched elastic in the waistband portions to thereby reduce gathering thereof and diminish undesirable elastic creep.
