An absorbent article generally has a longitudinal axis, a lateral axis, a front waist region, a back waist region, and a crotch region extending longitudinally between and interconnecting the front and back waist regions. The absorbent article has an outer cover stretchable in at least one direction and a liner in opposed relationship with the outer cover and stretchable in at least one direction. An absorbent structure is disposed between the liner and the outer cover and extends from the crotch region to at least one of the front waist region and the back waist region of the article. The absorbent structure has at least one weakening element disposed therein for reducing the resistance of the absorbent structure to stretching in a direction that defines an angle relative to the lateral axis of the absorbent article of greater than zero degrees and less than 90 degrees.
