A pair of nonwoven barrier cuff strips is arranged with a standing gather portion forming part of a standing gather, the barrier cuff strip being attached to the topsheet along a hinge line and having one or more pre-tensioned elastic elements arranged along a free standing gather edge. A pair of leg cuffs is arranged outward of the standing gathers and include the folded-back, elasticated side portion of the outer cover layer and a leg cuff portion of the nonwoven barrier strip. The nonwoven barrier cuff strip is attached to the folded-back portion of the outer cover layer via a first bond and to the underlaying part of the outer cover layer via a second bond.
