An elastic laminate comprising an elastic substrate bonded by point bonding to at least one extensible nonwoven web comprising thermoplastic fibers or filaments bonded by point bonding. The bonding points of the extensible nonwoven web are disposed in concentrated areas that are combined with areas having a substantially lower density of bonding points. Also disclosed is a method of making an elastic laminate comprising the steps of forming the nonwoven web, providing an elastic substrate adjacent the nonwoven web, and point bonding the elastic substrate and the nonwoven web to provide the elastic laminate. |
