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 adhered 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 to resist creep at the opposing ends. The reduction of adhesive in the second or central portion between the opposing ends significantly reduces the adhesive add on in the personal disposable hygiene product.

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 moving through the dispensing apparatus in a machine direction and including first, second, and third portions along a length of the elastic strand, the dispensing apparatus comprising: a first dispensing nozzle configured to dispense a first volume of adhesive onto the stretched elastic strand at the first portion and for dispensing a third volume of adhesive onto the stretched elastic strand at the third portion, wherein said first dispensing nozzle is a contact nozzle;a second dispensing nozzle configured to dispense a second volume of adhesive onto the stretched elastic strand at the second portion, said second dispensing nozzle positioned adjacent to said first dispensing nozzle in the machine direction, wherein said second dispensing nozzle is a non-contact nozzle;a control operatively coupled to said first and second dispensing nozzles, said control being configured to control the first dispensing nozzle to dispense the first volume of adhesive onto the stretched elastic strand at the first portion and the third volume of adhesive onto the stretched elastic strand at the third portion, said control being further configured to control the second dispensing nozzle to dispense the second volume of adhesive onto the stretched elastic strand at the second portion, wherein the second volume of adhesive is less than the first volume of adhesive, and the second volume of adhesive is less than the third volume of adhesive; anda strand guide coupled only to said first dispensing nozzle, said strand guide configured to guide the elastic strand in the machine direction relative to a dispensing outlet of said first dispensing nozzle,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, further comprising: a first adhesive supply for pumping adhesive to said first dispensing nozzle; anda second adhesive supply for pumping adhesive to said second dispensing nozzle. 3. The dispensing apparatus of claim 2, wherein said first adhesive supply comprises a first individually adjustable pump for supplying an adjustable first flow rate of adhesive to said first 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 dispensing nozzle. 4. The dispensing apparatus of claim 2, 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 dispensing nozzles. 5. The dispensing apparatus of claim 1, wherein said second dispensing nozzle is configured to apply a swirl pattern of adhesive onto the at least one elastic strand. 6. The dispensing apparatus of claim 1, wherein said first dispensing nozzle is configured to apply a continuous bead coating of adhesive onto the at least one elastic strand. 7. The dispensing apparatus of claim 1, wherein said first and second dispensing nozzles are collectively operated 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. 8. The dispensing apparatus of claim 7, wherein said first and second dispensing nozzles are collectively operated 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. 9. The dispensing apparatus of claim 1, wherein the strand guide defines an opening configured to guide the elastic strand through the strand guide in the machine direction. 10.
