An absorbent garment includes a chassis having first and second layers and an elastic core sandwiched therebetween. The chassis defines front and rear body panels each having elastic regions exhibiting a substantially permanent deformation of at least about 10% when elongated 80% for a period of 30
An absorbent garment includes a chassis having first and second layers and an elastic core sandwiched therebetween. The chassis defines front and rear body panels each having elastic regions exhibiting a substantially permanent deformation of at least about 10% when elongated 80% for a period of 30 minutes at 37° C. and 60% relative humidity and then allowed to relax under a zero applied force. An absorbent composite is coupled to the chassis.

What is claimed is: 1. An absorbent garment comprising: a chassis comprising first and second layers and an elastic core sandwiched therebetween, wherein at least one of said first and second layers comprises a gathered nonwoven material, wherein said chassis defines front and rear body panels each
What is claimed is: 1. An absorbent garment comprising: a chassis comprising first and second layers and an elastic core sandwiched therebetween, wherein at least one of said first and second layers comprises a gathered nonwoven material, wherein said chassis defines front and rear body panels each having elastic, extensible regions exhibiting a substantially permanent deformation of at least about 10% when elongated 80% for a period of 30 minutes at 37° C. and 60% relative humidity and then allowed to relax under a zero applied force; and an absorbent composite coupled to said chassis; wherein said elastic core is coextensive with an entirety of said front and rear body panels; wherein said front and rear body panels each have first and second longitudinally spaced terminal edges, said second terminal edges of said front and rear body panels defining first and second terminal edges of said chassis respectively, and said first terminal edges of said front and rear body panels being spaced apart in a crotch region of the absorbent garment and defining a gap therebetween, wherein said absorbent composite bridges said gap, crosses said first terminal edges of said front and rear body panels and is connected to each of said first and second body panels. 2. The absorbent garment of claim 1 wherein said elastic core comprises an elastomeric material. 3. The absorbent garment of claim 1 wherein said elastic core comprises a plurality of elastic elements. 4. The absorbent garment of claim 1 wherein each of said first and second layers comprises a nonwoven material. 5. The absorbent garment of claim 1 wherein said elastic regions are elongated to at least said 80% when subjected to a tensile force of about 60 gms/cm. 6. The absorbent garment of claim 1 wherein a first tensile force is applied across said elastic regions when said elastic regions are first elongated said 80%, and wherein a second tensile force is applied across said elastic regions when said elastic regions are elongated said 80% for said period of 30 minutes, wherein said second tensile force is less than said first tensile force. 7. An absorbent garment comprising: a chassis comprising first and second layers and an elastic core sandwiched therebetween, wherein at least one of said first and second layers comprises a gathered nonwoven material, wherein said chassis defines front and rear body panels each having elastic, extensible regions exhibiting a substantially permanent deformation of at least about 10% when elongated 80% for a period of 30 minutes at 37° C. and 60% relative humidity and then allowed to relax under a zero applied force; and an absorbent composite coupled to said chassis wherein a first tensile force is applied across said elastic regions when said elastic regions are first elongated said 80%, and wherein a second tensile force is applied across said elastic regions when said elastic regions are elongated said 80% for said period of 30 minutes, wherein said second tensile force is less than said first tensile force, wherein said second tensile force is between about 70% and about 90% of said first tensile force. 8. An absorbent garment comprising: a chassis comprising first and second layers and an elastic core sandwiched therebetween, wherein at least one of said first and second layers comprises a gathered nonwoven material, wherein said chassis defines front and rear body panels each having elastic, extensible regions exhibiting a substantially permanent deformation of at least about 10% when elongated 80% for a period of 30 minutes at 37° C. and 60% relative humidity and then allowed to relax under a zero applied force; and an absorbent composite coupled to said chassis wherein a first tensile force is applied across said elastic regions when said elastic regions are first elongated said 80%, and wherein a second tensile force is applied across said elastic regions when said elastic regions are elongated said 80% for said period of 30 minutes, wherein said second tensile force is less than said first tensile force, wherein said second tensile force is less than about 80% of said first tensile force. 9. The absorbent garment of claim 1 wherein said gathered nonwoven material comprises a necked material. 10. An absorbent garment comprising: a front body panel having first and second longitudinally spaced terminal edges, wherein said second terminal edge of said front body panel defines a waist region of said front body panel, wherein said front body panel is extensible; a rear body panel having first and second longitudinally spaced terminal edges, wherein said second terminal edge of said rear body panel defines a waist region of said second body panel, wherein said rear body panel is extensible; wherein each of said first and second body panels comprises first and second layers comprising a gathered nonwoven material and an elastic core sandwiched therebetween, wherein said first terminal edges of said front and rear body panels are spaced apart in a crotch region of the absorbent garment and define a gap therebetween, and wherein an entirety of said front and rear body panels are elongatable and retractable and exhibit a substantially permanent deformation of at least about 10% when elongated 80% for a period of 30 minutes at 37° C. and 60% relative humidity and then allowed to relax under a zero applied force; and an absorbent composite bridging said gap, wherein said absorbent composite crosses said first terminal edges of said front and rear body panels and is connected to each of said first and second body panels. 11. The absorbent garment of claim 10 wherein said elastic core comprises an elastomeric material. 12. The absorbent garment of claim 10 wherein said elastic core comprises a plurality of elastic elements. 13. The absorbent garment of claim 10 further comprising reinforcing elastic elements running along said second terminal edge of each of said front and rear body panels. 14. The absorbent garment of claim 10 wherein said front and rear body panels are elongated to at least said 80% when subjected to a tensile force of about 60 gms/crn. 15. The absorbent garment of claim 10 wherein a first tensile force is applied across said front and rear body panels when said front and rear body panels are first elongated said 80%, and wherein a second tensile force is applied across said front and rear body panels when said front and rear body panels are elongated said 80% for said period of 30 minutes, wherein said second tensile force is less than said first tensile force. 16. The absorbent garment of claim 15 wherein said second tensile force is between about 70% and about 90% of said first tensile force. 17. The absorbent garment of claim 10 wherein at least one of said front and rear body panels comprises a gathered nonwoven material. 18. The absorbent garment of claim 17 wherein said gathered nonwoven material comprises a necked material. 19. The absorbent garment of claim 1 wherein said substantially permanent deformation exhibited by said elastic regions comprises a first permanent deformation, and further comprising reinforcing elastic elements running along a first and second terminal edge of said chassis, wherein said reinforcing elastic elements exhibit a second permanent deformation that is less than said first permanent deformation. 20. The absorbent garment of claim 1 wherein said front body panel comprises a first pair of side edges, and said rear body panel comprises a second pair of side edges, wherein said first and second pairs of side edges are adapted to be coupled to each other.
