A disposable absorbent article including at least one fusion bond accomplished by the application of an electromagnetic field and a method for producing the fusion bond are disclosed. The article includes a first component, a second component underlying the first component and a third component underlying the second component. The fusion bond is disposed directly above the third component and bonds the first component to second component. The fusion bond includes a receptor susceptible to an electromagnetic field. The first component of the article has an outer surface that includes at least one receptor area disposed directly above the fusion bond. The receptor area can have a tactile property that is a substantially equal to a tactile property of the outer surface surrounding the receptor area.
