An absorbent article comprising: a chassis comprising: a topsheet; a backsheet; a core disposed at least partially intermediate the topsheet and the backsheet; a first end portion; and a second end portion longitudinally opposed to the first end portion; and a belt portion extending from the first end portion, the belt portion comprising: a side edge; a waist opening edge; a leg opening edge; a first substrate; a second substrate attached to the first substrate; a plurality of elastic strands disposed intermediate the first substrate and the second substrate; a first elasticized texture zone comprising a first portion of the substrates and the elastic strands and disposed adjacent to the side edge and the waist opening edge, wherein the first elasticized texture zone extends at least partially along a first lateral extent of the belt portion, and wherein the elastic strands in the first elasticized texture zone have a first elastic spacing; a second elasticized texture zone comprising a second portion of the substrates and the elastic strands and disposed adjacent to the side edge and the leg opening edge, wherein the second elasticized texture zone extends at least partially along a second lateral extent of the belt portion, wherein the elastic strands in the second elasticized texture zone have a second elastic spacing, and wherein the first elasticized texture zone has the same texture as the second elasticized texture zone; and a third elasticized texture zone comprising a third portion of the substrates and the elastic strands and disposed at least partially intermediate the first elasticized texture zone and the second elasticized texture zone, wherein the third elasticized texture zone extends at least partially along a third lateral extent of the belt portion, wherein the elastic strands in the third elasticized texture zone have a third elastic spacing, and wherein the third elasticized texture zone has a different texture as the first elasticized texture zone and the second elasticized texture zone; wherein the first elastic spacing, the second elastic spacing, and the third elastic spacing are substantially equal; wherein the first elasticized texture zone comprises a first plurality of densified regions, wherein the second elasticized texture zone comprises a second plurality of densified regions, wherein the third elasticized texture zone comprises a third plurality of densified regions, wherein each of the first plurality of densified regions have the same dimensions as the second plurality of densified regions, and wherein each of the third plurality of densified regions have different dimensions than each of the first plurality of densified regions or each of the second plurality of densified regions; and wherein a longitudinal axis of the absorbent article extends through the first and third elasticized texture zones.
