Zusammenfassung:Absorbent articles such as disposable diapers, incontinent briefs, diaper holders and the like, that have improved dynamic fit and containment characteristics. The elasticized waistband (35) comprises a shaping panel zone (136); a waistline panel zone (138); and a predisposed, resilient, waistband flexural hinge zone (140) joining the shaping panel zone and the waistline panel zone to provide a restoring force/moment that returns the panel zones to their preceeding in-use configuration, especially when the elasticized waistband has been pretensioned by a closure system. The closure system maintains lateral tension through the elasticized waistband thereby allowing the elasticized waistband to expand and contract with the motions of the wearer. The absorbent article additionally preferably comprises a pair of "zerostrain" elasticized side panels (30) disposed in waist region (58). The present invention also relates to an expansive "tummy" panel elasticized waistband (635). The absorbent core comprises an acquisition/distribution core (1302) of chemically stiffened fibers and a storage core (1304).
