Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An absorbent disposable garment (10) such as a diaper, incontinence pant, or a training pant, having a unitary cuff (34) is disclosed. The construction of the unitary cuff (34) provides improved comfort to the wearer's leg in the cuff area, a tighter seal around the leg to prevent leakage, and achieves these results utilizing simpler manufacturing processes. The unitary cuff (3 4) does not require an additional separate leg gasket cuff. The unitary cuff ha s a proximal edge (152) attached to or extending from the disposable garment (10); an edge (154) distal from the disposable garment; and exhibits elasticity along a width between the distal edge (154) and proximal edge (152). The elasticity (B), nearer the proximal edge (152) has a higher contractile force than the elasticity (A) near the distal edge (154) (i.e., near the wearer's leg) of the unitary cuff.
