A method of manufacturing a first absorbent article having a first size and a second absorbent article having a second size, the method comprising the steps of: assembling the first absorbent article by: forming a first chassis comprising: a first chassis length extending in a longitudinal direction from the back to the front of a user, a first chassis width extending in a lateral direction substantially perpendicular to the length between first and second longitudinal edges, a front waist region, a back waist region, and a crotch region extending between the front waist region and the back waist region; attaching a first panel to the back waist region of the first chassis, the first panel comprising: a first panel width extending in a lateral direction from the first longitudinal edge of the first chassis, and a first panel length extending longitudinally along the first longitudinal edge of the first chassis; assembling the second absorbent article by: forming a second chassis comprising: a second chassis length extending in a longitudinal direction from the back to the front of a user, wherein the second chassis length is greater than the first chassis length, a second chassis width extending in a lateral direction substantially perpendicular to the length between first and second longitudinal edges, wherein the second chassis width is substantially the same as the first chassis width, a front waist region, a back waist region, and a crotch region extending between the first and second portion; attaching a second panel to the back waist region of the second chassis, the second panel comprising: a second panel width extending in a lateral direction from the first longitudinal edge of the second chassis, and a second side panel length extending longitudinally along the first longitudinal edge of the second chassis.
