The backsheet assembly includes a central liquid impermeable layer and opposite side marginal portions comprising a nonwoven fabric. The liquid impermeable layer includes opposite side edges extending upwardly about respective opposite side edges of the absorbent core to form a pair of standing leg gathers.

An elastic means is operatively associated with an upper free edge portion of the respective upper element for elastically contracting each of the standing leg gather.
