A method of dispensing adhesive onto a stretched elastic strand includes applying a first volume of adhesive onto a first portion of the elastic strand, applying a second volume of adhesive onto a second portion of the elastic strand, and applying a third volume of adhesive onto a third portion of the elastic strand. The second volume is less than the first and third volumes. When the elastic strand is adhesively secured to a substrate to form a personal disposable hygiene product, the first and third portions of the elastic strand define opposing ends of the elastic strand, which are adhered with a larger amount of adhesive capable of limiting movement of the strand at the opposing ends, thereby maintaining the integrity of the bond between the substrate and the elastic strand.

1. A dispensing apparatus for applying adhesive to at least one stretched elastic strand to be adhered to a substrate to form a personal disposable hygiene product, each elastic strand including first, second, and third portions along a length of the elastic strand, the dispensing apparatus comprising: a dispensing module;a single dispensing nozzle incorporated into the dispensing module, said single dispensing nozzle configured to dispense adhesive on the stretched elastic strand at each of the first, second, and third portions;a first valve positioned within said dispensing module and within said single dispensing nozzle, said first valve configured to be actuated between a first position and a second position, wherein in the first position of said first valve, a flow of adhesive from a first adhesive supply is allowed through said dispensing module to said single dispensing nozzle, and wherein in the second position of said first valve, said first valve stops a flow of the adhesive from the first adhesive supply through said dispensing module;a second valve positioned within said dispensing module and configured to be actuated between a first position and a second position, wherein in the first position of said second valve, a flow of adhesive from a second adhesive supply is allowed through said dispensing module to said single dispensing nozzle, and wherein in the second position of said second valve, said second valve stops a flow of adhesive from the second adhesive supply through said dispensing module;a strand guide adapted to guide the elastic strand relative to a dispensing outlet of said dispensing nozzle; anda controller operatively coupled to said first and second valves, said controller being configured to control said first valve to the first position and said second valve to the second position to apply a first volume of adhesive from the first adhesive supply to the first portion and a third volume of adhesive from the first adhesive supply to the third portion, said controller being further configured to control said first valve to the second position and said second valve to the first position to apply a second volume of adhesive from the second adhesive supply to the second portion, wherein the second volume of adhesive on the second portion is less than the first volume of adhesive on the first portion and less than the third volume of adhesive on the third portion,wherein the first and third portions of the elastic strand define opposing ends of the elastic strand when adhered to the substrate, and the second portion of the elastic strand defines a central portion of the elastic strand extending between the opposing ends when adhered to the substrate. 2. The dispensing apparatus of claim 1, wherein said first adhesive supply comprises a first individually adjustable pump for supplying an adjustable first flow rate of adhesive to said first valve of said dispensing nozzle, and said second adhesive supply comprises a second individually adjustable pump for supplying an adjustable second flow rate of adhesive to said second valve of said dispensing nozzle. 3. The dispensing apparatus of claim 1, further comprising: a dual stream pump producing a first outlet stream defining said first adhesive supply and a second outlet stream defining said second adhesive supply, the first and second outlet streams defining predetermined flows of adhesive delivered to said first and second valves of said dispensing nozzle. 4. The dispensing apparatus of claim 1, wherein said dispensing nozzle is a non-contact spray nozzle for applying a swirl pattern of adhesive onto the at least one elastic strand. 5. The dispensing apparatus of claim 1, wherein said dispensing nozzle is a contact nozzle for applying a continuous bead coating of adhesive onto the at least one elastic strand. 6. The dispensing apparatus of claim 1, wherein said controller is further configured to control each of said first and second valves to open continuously when in their respective first positions, such that the first, second and third volumes of adhesive define generally continuous adhesive coatings. 7. The dispensing apparatus of claim 1, wherein said controller is further configured to control each of said first and second valves to open intermittently when in their respective first positions, such that the first, second and third volumes of adhesive define a series of spaced apart or intermittent adhesive coatings. 8. The dispensing apparatus of claim 1, wherein said first and second valves are arranged generally in parallel to one another within said dispensing nozzle such that flows from said first and second valves combine downstream from each of said first and second valves and prior to discharge from a dispensing outlet of said dispensing nozzle. 9. The dispensing apparatus of claim 1, wherein said controller is further configured to control said first and second valves, such that the first and third portions of each elastic strand collectively define a first length and the second portion of each elastic strand defines a second length larger than the first length such that the second volume of adhesive is applied over a majority of the at least one elastic strand. 10. The dispensing apparatus of claim 9, wherein said controller is further configured to control said first and second valves, such that the first and third volumes of adhesive are sufficient to limit movement of the opposing ends of the at least one elastic strand relative to the substrate, and the second volume of adhesive is sufficiently low to allow the at least one elastic strand to retract from the stretched condition. 11. The dispensing apparatus of claim 1, wherein the single dispensing nozzle comprises a contact dispensing nozzle. 12. The dispensing apparatus of claim 1, wherein said second valve is positioned within said single dispensing nozzle. 13. The dispensing apparatus of claim 1, wherein said single dispensing nozzle is positioned between said dispensing module and said strand guide.
