Summary:Disclosed is an absorbent article defining a longitudinal direction and a lateral direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, the absorbent article including an outercover, the outercover comprising a laminated material including two layers; an absorbent body disposed adjacent the outercover; and a graphic associated with the outercover, wherein the laminated material exhibits a Poisson's Ratio less than 1.0 at 4 percent longitudinal strain using ASTM-E132. The laminated material optimally exhibits a Poisson's Ratio less than 0.75 at 4 percent longitudinal strain using ASTM-E132. The laminated material more optimally exhibits a Poisson's Ratio less than 0.4 at 4 percent longitudinal strain using ASTM-E132.
