A disposable absorbent article, such as a disposable diaper, having barrier leg cuffs. The barrier leg cuffs have a distal edge which is spaced from the proximal edge so as to provide a barrier against leakage. The barrier leg cuff has a portion affixed to the diaper so that the spacing between the barrier leg cuffs is increased in selected portions to reduce irritation of the genetalia and to provide a larger area to receive bodily discharges.

A unitary disposable absorbent article comprising: a liquid permeable topsheet; a liquid impermeable backsheet affixed to said topsheet; an absorbent means for absorbing liquids, said absorbent means being encased between said topsheet and said backsheet; a first end, a second end opposed to said first end, a first longitudinal side and a second longitudinal side; a barrier leg cuff corresponding to each of said first and second longitudinal sides, each said barrier leg cuff having a proximal edge affixed to the absorbent article, a distal edge spaced from said proximal edge, and an attachment zone disposed between said proximal edge and said distal edge, said attachment zone being affixed to the absorbent article in an area between said the portion of said barrier cuffs that is between said attachment zone and said proximal edges and said longitudinal side corresponding to said attachment zone so as to increase the lateral spacing between said distal edges along a portion of the length of the absorbent article; and a spacing means operatively associated with each said barrier leg cuff in an elastically contractible condition for spacing said distal edge away from said proximal edge
