An absorbent article comprising: a first waist region, a second waist region and a crotch region disposed between the first and second waist regions; a chassis comprising a topsheet, a backsheet and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet; and an ear disposed in one of the first or second waist regions, the ear comprising: a proximate side and a distal side, a width and a length; a first inelastic region; a second inelastic region; an elasticized region disposed between the first inelastic region and the second inelastic region; and a laminate comprising: a first nonwoven and a second nonwoven and an elastomeric material sandwiched between said first and second nonwovens in the elasticized region; a first bonding region comprising a first plurality of ultrasonic bonds having a first bond density and a first bond pattern, wherein the first bonding region is disposed on the first inelastic region; a second bonding region comprising a second plurality of ultrasonic bonds having a second bond density and a second bond pattern, wherein the second bonding region is partially disposed on the elasticized region; and a third bonding region spaced from the second bonding region and comprising a third plurality of ultrasonic bonds having a third bond density, wherein the third bonding region is disposed on the second inelastic region, and wherein the first bond density and the third bond density are greater than the second bond density and wherein the second plurality is disposed between the first and the third pluralities, wherein the first bond density and the third bond density are different, wherein each of the first, second and third bond density are determined by bond frequency and/or aggregate bond coverage, and wherein the first bonding region and the second bonding region comprise different orientations and wherein the second bond pattern comprises a greater average bond spacing than the first bond pattern; and a fastening system extending from the distal side of the ear, wherein a fastener attachment bond attaches the fastening system to the second inelastic region, and wherein a portion of the fastener attachment bond overlaps a portion of the third bonding region.
