Apparatus and methods for manufacturing personal care absorbent articles. Such personal care absorbent article includes a fastening area in the front portion for receiving fastener material thereon. First and second fault lines are formed on opposing sides of the fastening area leaving uncut web portions at the fault lines during selected manufacturing operations, thus to support machine direction stresses on the front portion web, and subsequently trimming away such uncut web portions of the fault lines. Fastener material is applied over the first and second fault lines, thus bridging the fault lines. The fastener material is releasably secured to the fastening area, non-releasably secured to the front portion outwardly of the respective fault lines, and unsecured to the front portion between the fastening area and the fault lines thus to support a re-fastening feature of such personal care absorbent articles.

It has been found that an absorbent article having improved fit at the waist region can be made by changing the stretch properties about the waist region such that the sides stretch more than the front or back. One method of performing this function is to change the modulus of elasticity of the side regions relative to the front and back regions. For instance, by use of more elastic or stronger elastic in the front and back of the waist relative to the side of the waist, the modulus of elasticity in the front and back will be higher than at the sides of the absorbent article. If the same tension is applied uniformly to such a waist, the sides will stretch more than the front or back. This improves the absorbent article's fit because the hips of the body can curve more than the front or back waist portion, which can be relatively flat. By having the greatest stretch at the sides, they can conform to the body's increased curvature at the hips.
