An elastic laminate of a necked, or otherwise inherently stretchable, and
perforated nonwoven web layer and an unperforated elastic film layer and
methods of making the laminate are disclosed. An elastic laminate
according to the present invention may utilize both the stretch gained
from the necking, as well as providing increased ability of the necked
nonwoven to stretch due to the perforations, cumulatively resulting in
high stretch of the elastic laminate in one or more directions.
