1. A method for making protective underwear comprising:
forming an absorbent core;
attaching the absorbent core to a backsheet;
attaching a cover to the core and backsheet to form a chassis;
moving the chassis in a machine direction on an absorbent product manufacturing machine;
feeding elastic panels in the machine direction over the chassis; and
attaching the elastic panels to the chassis to form low rise protective underwear,
the protective underwear being free of side seam bonds when worn,
wherein portions of the elastic panels are left unattached to the chassis along side edges of the chassis so as to form leg openings between the chassis and the elastic panels.
