A wearable article has a front elastic belt region, a back elastic belt region, a crotch region, a waist opening, and two leg openings. Each elastic belt region has a laminate having an inner sheet, an outer sheet, and an elastic member. The elastic member is bonded continuously for at least about 10 mm in the direction of stretch in a region adjacent side edges of the elastic belts. At least the outer sheet includes a first repeating pattern of apertures having a Longitudinal Orientation. Each aperture has an aspect ratio of no more than 3, a transverse dimension APT of at least 0.4 mm, and a longitudinal dimension APL. APT is at least 10% greater than APL. The apertures are spaced apart with a longitudinal pitch DF of no more than 5 mm and a transverse pitch DF APL is not larger than 50% of DF

A wearable article includes front and back elastic belts, a crotch region, a waist opening, and leg openings. Each elastic belt is a laminate having an inner sheet, an outer sheet, and a an elastic member running in the transverse direction. Elastic bonding continuously bonds the elastic member for at least about 10 mm in the direction of stretch in a region adjacent side edges of the elastic belts, and vertical bonding applied to the inner and/or the outer sheet intermittently bonds the elastic member to said inner and/or outer sheets. At least one of the inner sheet and the outer sheet comprises a plurality of deformations aligned in the longitudinal direction. The article has a Stretch Circumference Force of about 6.5 N or less and a Fit Circumference Force of at least about 3.0 N. The ratio of Stretch Circumference Force/Fit Circumference Force is less than about 1.8.
