A method of manufacturing an absorbent article comprising: forming a first leg elastic along a first longitudinal edge of a moving first substrate and forming a second leg elastic along a second and opposite longitudinal edge of the moving first substrate, each leg elastic comprising an elastic member, the first leg elastic extending outboard of the first longitudinal edge of the first substrate and the second leg elastic extending outboard of the second longitudinal edge of the first substrate; joining a first side panel to the first leg elastic and joining a second side panel to the second leg elastic, the first side panel being associated with a first fastening device and the second side panel being associated with a second fastening device; attaching a plurality of absorbent assemblies to the first substrate; joining a second substrate to the first substrate such that the absorbent assemblies are positioned between the first substrate and the second substrate and a subassembly is formed; and cutting the subassembly into a plurality of discrete absorbent articles.
