Summary:A disposable absorbent article is provided which includes a substantially liquid-impermeable, stretchable outer cover, a liquid permeable, stretchable top surface, and an absorbent body located between the outer cover and the top surface. The stretchable top surface can further include a first zone and a second zone. The stretchable outer cover can be configured to provide a first level of elongation when subjected to a tensile force of 100 gmf per inch (per 2.54 cm) of width according to the Material Elongation and Deformation Tensile Test set forth herein, while the first zone provides a second level of elongation that is less than the first level of elongation. Article absorbant jetable comprenant une couverture extérieure extensible pratiquement imperméable au liquide, une surface supérieure extensible perméable au liquide et un élément absorbant placé entre la couverture extérieure et la surface supérieure. La surface supérieure extensible peut, de plus, comporter une première zone et une deuxième zone. La couverture extérieure extensible peut être conçue pour produire un premier niveau d'allongement quand on la soumet à une force de traction de 100 gmf/pouce (2,54 cm) de largeur selon le test de déformation à la traction et d'allongement d'un matériau (material elongation and deformation tensile test), tandis que la première zone produit un deuxième niveau d'allongement inférieur au premier niveau.
