The disclosure concerns a disposable pant-type absorbent article (1) such as a pant diaper, a sanitary pant or incontinence pant. The article comprises a
chassis (2) and an absorbent body (5). The
chassis (2) has a front portion (3) and a back portion (4) and each of the front and back portions (3, 4) has a
waist edge (7, 8), a pair of leg edges (9, 10, 13, 14) and a pair of side edges (11, 12, 15, 16). The front and back portions (3, 4) are joined to each other at opposite side edges (11, 12, 15, 16) to at least partly define a
waist-opening (18) and a pair of leg-openings (19). The absorbentbody (5) is located mainly in a
crotch portion (22) of the article (1). An elastic leg feature (17, 20) is fastened to the
chassis (2) at least partly along leg edges (9, 10, 13, 14), and the article(1) has a longitudinal direction (y) and a transverse direction (x). The elastic leg feature (17, 20) extends from the associated side edge (11, 12, 15, 16) towards a centre line (28) in the longitudinal direction (y) of the article (1). A portion of the leg elastic feature (17, 20) having a first length (L1), in which a distance (D) between any point of each leg edge (9, 10, 13, 4) to the nearest part of the elastic leg feature (17, 20), in a longitudinal direction, is less than 6 millimetres, specifically less than 5 millimetres, and more specifically less than 4 millimetres. The first length (L1) is at least 55% of a maximal length (L2) of the leg opening (19) in the transverse direction (x), as measured in an extended state of the absorbent article (1). The disclosure also relates toa corresponding method of manufacturing a pant-type absorbent article, as well as an array of gender-specific, disposable, absorbent articles.
