A method for manufacturing a disposable absorbent pant, comprising the steps of: advancing first and second nonwoven webs along a machine direction; sandwiching an elastomeric web between the first and second nonwoven webs to form an elasticized multilayer web; separating the elasticized multilayer web to form a front elasticized multilayer web and a rear elasticized multilayer web; providing a plurality of pre-strained leg elastic members along a leg elastic path generally extending along the machine direction but comprising curvilinear portions; connecting the front and rear elasticized multilayer webs together with a third nonwoven web such that the pre-strained leg elastic members are sandwiched between at least one of the front and rear elasticized multilayer webs and the third nonwoven web; cutting the front elasticized multilayer web along a first cutting path and cutting the rear elasticized multilayer web along a second cutting path; affixing central chassis structures to overlap the front and rear elasticized multilayer webs; and cutting the front and rear elasticized multilayer webs along separation lines disposed between the affixed central chassis structures, and thereby severing away separate pant structures.
