The present disclosure is directed, in part, to a taped absorbent article comprising a discrete chassis. The discrete chassis comprises a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed at least partially intermediate the topsheet and the backsheet. A discrete belt portion is joined to a portion of the discrete chassis. The discrete belt portion comprises a first substrate, a second substrate, and a plurality of elastic members positioned at least partially intermediate the first and second substrates. The discrete belt portion comprises three zones each comprising at least one of the plurality of elastic members. The three zones extend in a direction generally parallel to a lateral axis of the absorbent article. The three zones comprise a first zone positioned most proximal to the lateral axis, a third zone positioned most distal from the lateral axis, and a second zone positioned intermediate the first and second zone.
