An extensible article, comprising: a front waist edge; a back waist edge; a longitudinal axis extending from the midpoint of the front waist edge to the midpoint of the back waist edge; a lateral axis extending perpendicular to the longitudinal axis through the midpoint of the longitudinal axis; a first belt comprising a first elastomeric laminate in a first waist region, the first elastomeric laminate comprising a first plurality of elastics; a second belt comprising a second elastomeric laminate in a second waist region, the second elastomeric laminate comprising a second plurality of elastics, the first belt either permanently or re-fastenably joined with the second belt; a third elastomeric laminate formed by two substrate layers forming at least a portion of the chassis in a crotch region, the third elastomeric laminate comprising a third plurality of elastics; wherein the first plurality of elastics comprises greater than about 40 elastic strands, the second plurality of elastics comprises greater than about 40 elastic strands, and the third plurality of elastics comprises greater than about 10 elastic strands; wherein each of the first plurality of elastics, second plurality of elastics, and third plurality of elastics have an Average-Strand-Spacing from about 0.25 mm to about 4 mm; wherein the Average-Pre-Strain of each of the first plurality of elastics, second plurality of elastics and third plurality of elastics is from about 50% to about 400%; wherein the Average-Dtex of each of the first plurality of elastics, second plurality of elastics, and third plurality of elastics is from about 10 to about 500; wherein the third plurality of elastics has one or more of: a) an Average-Strand-Spacing that is greater than one or both of the first and second plurality of elastics, b) an Average-Dtex that is lower than one or both of the first and second plurality of elastics, c) an Average-Pre-Strain that is lower than one or both of the first and second plurality of elastics, and d) a number of elastics that is lower than one or both of the first and second plurality of elastics; wherein the elastic strands of each of the first plurality of elastics and second plurality of elastics are disposed substantially parallel to the lateral axis; and wherein the elastic strands of the third plurality of elastics is disposed substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis.
