Absorbent composite having selective regions for improved attachment
First Claim
1. An absorbent composite comprising at least one first region and at least one second region, wherein said first region comprises an absorbent material and a first elastomeric polymer at a first concentration, and said second region comprises a second elastomeric polymer at a second concentration, wherein said second concentration is higher than said first concentration.

Abstract
An absorbent composite has at least one first region and at least one second region. The first region includes an elastomeric polymer at a first concentration and at least one absorbent material, such as superabsorbent material, and the second region includes an elastomeric polymer at a second concentration. The absorbent composite can provide improved attachment within an absorbent article, such as a stretchable absorbent article, even after fluid loading, while maintaining suitable absorbent properties.
