A disposable absorbent article was recently granted a patent. The article includes an article chassis with a side edge and a pattern-unbonded material on the article chassis. The pattern-unbonded material includes a first region and at least one second region. The first region includes a first pattern of continuous bonded areas defining a first plurality of discrete unbonded areas. The second region includes a second pattern of continuous bonded areas defining a second plurality of discrete unbonded areas. The second pattern is different from the first pattern; at least a portion of the second region extends out beyond the side edge of the article chassis.
