An outer cover for a disposable absorbent article. The outer cover includes an elastic material joined to an extensible material to form a laminate. At least two different areas of the laminate are simultaneously activated in different directions by a single pair of intermeshing activation rolls. At least a portion of the two different areas of activation on the outer cover are spatially separated by a buffer zone.

1. An outer cover for a disposable absorbent article, the outer cover comprising an elastic material and an extensible non-woven material, the outer cover further comprising: a. a longitudinal direction and a lateral direction orthogonal thereto, a first waist region including a first end edge, a second waist region including a second end edge longitudinally opposed to the first end edge, a crotch region disposed between the first and second waist regions, first and second laterally opposing side edges;b. a first leg band portion disposed adjacent to the first side edge and a second leg band portion disposed adjacent to the second side edge, the first and second leg band portions extending from the first waist region through the crotch region and into the second waist region, the first and second leg band portions being activated in a first direction by mechanical deformation such that the extensible non-woven material is permanently elongated, wherein the first and second leg band portions are activated from the first waist region through the crotch region and into the second waist region;c. a body portion disposed in the first and second waist regions and the crotch region, the body portion being activated in a second direction which is different than the first direction by mechanical deformation such that the extensible non-woven material is permanently elongated, wherein the body portion is activated from the first waist region through the crotch region and into the second waist region;d. a first buffer zone disposed between activated portions of the first leg band portion and the body portion, the first buffer zone contiguously extending from the first waist region through the crotch region and into the second waist region; ande. a second buffer zone disposed between activated portions of the second leg band portion and the body portion, the second buffer zone contiguously extending from the first waist region through the crotch region and into the second waist region. 2. The outer cover of claim 1, wherein the first and second buffer zones have a width of between about 2 and 30 mm. 3. The outer cover of claim 1, wherein the first and second buffer have a width of between about 5 and 20 mm. 4. The outer cover of claim 1, wherein the first direction and second directions of activation are selected from the group consisting of a machine-direction, a cross-direction, a diagonal direction, and a curvilinear direction. 5. The outer cover of claim 4, wherein the first direction of activation is the machine-direction, and the machine direction is parallel to the longitudinal direction. 6. The outer cover of claim 4, wherein the second direction of activation is the cross-direction and the cross-direction is parallel to the lateral direction. 7. The outer cover of claim 1, wherein the leg band portion extends no more than 40 mm inboard of at least one of the first and second side edges. 8. The outer cover of claim 1, further comprising a zero strain stretch laminate. 9. The outer cover of claim 8, wherein the zero strain stretch laminate comprises at least one elastic material joined to at least one extensible nonwoven material. 10. The outer cover of claim 1, wherein the outer cover comprises an elastic material sandwiched between and joined to at least two extensible nonwoven materials. 11. The outer cover of claim 1, further comprising a leg band joined to the leg band portion of the outer cover, the leg band having a surface area that is less than a surface area of the activated leg band portion. 12. The outer cover according to claim 11, wherein the area of the leg band is less than 75% of the area of the activated leg band portion. 13. A disposable absorbent article intended to be worn about the lower waist of wearer the disposable absorbent article comprising a topsheet, an outer cover, and an absorbent core disposed therebetween, a substantially circular shaped leg opening and an elastic leg band encircling the leg opening, wherein the outer cover comprises an elastic material and an extensible non-woven material, the outer cover further comprising: a. a longitudinal direction and a lateral direction orthogonal thereto, a first waist region including a first end edge, a second waist region including a second end edge longitudinally opposed to the first end edge, a crotch region disposed between the first and second waist regions, first and second laterally opposing side edges;b. a first leg band portion disposed adjacent to the first side edge and a second leg band portion disposed adjacent to the second side edge, the first and second leg band portions extending from the first waist region through the crotch region and into the second waist region, the first and second leg band portions being activated in a first direction by mechanical deformation such that the extensible non-woven material is permanently elongated, wherein the first and second leg band portions are activated from the first waist region through the crotch region and into the second waist region;c. a body portion disposed in the first and second waist regions and the crotch region, the body portion being activated in a second direction which is different than the first direction by mechanical deformation such that the extensible non-woven material is permanently elongated, wherein the body portion is activated from the first waist region through the crotch region and into the second waist region;d. a first buffer zone disposed between activated portions of the first leg band portion and the body portion, the first buffer zone contiguously extending from the first waist region through the crotch region and into the second waist region; ande. a second buffer zone disposed between activated portions of the second leg band portion and the body portion, the second buffer zone contiguously extending from the first waist region through the crotch region and into the second waist region;wherein the leg opening is elastically extensible around substantially the entire circumference of the leg opening and at least one of the first and second waist panels exhibit elastic extensibility in the lateral direction. 14. The absorbent article of claim 13, wherein the outer cover is activated over the entire surface area of the outer cover except for the first and second buffer zones. 15. The absorbent article of claim 13, wherein the first and second buffer zones have a width of between about 2 and 30 mm. 16. The absorbent article of claim 13, wherein the first and second buffer have a width of between about 5 and 20 mm. 17. The absorbent article of claim 13, wherein the first direction and second directions of activation are selected from the group consisting of a machine-direction, a cross-direction, a diagonal direction, and a curvilinear direction. 18. The absorbent article of claim 17, wherein the first direction of activation is the machine-direction, and the machine direction is parallel to the longitudinal direction. 19. The absorbent article of claim 17, wherein the second direction of activation is the cross-direction and the cross-direction is parallel to the lateral direction. 20. The absorbent article of claim 13, wherein the leg band portion extends no more than 40 mm inboard of at least one of the first and second side edges.
