Systems and methods for forming an elastic laminate may be disclosed. For example an elastic material may be extruded onto a first nonwoven web. In the extrusion the elastic material may be directly applied to the first nonwoven web continuously in a machine direction and discontinuously in a cross direction to form the elastic laminate with one or more elastic strips on the first nonwoven web. The elastic material may also be applied unevenly or non uniformly in the cross direction strips on the first nonwoven web. A second nonwoven web may be bonded to the first nonwoven web with the one or more elastic strips. The first or second nonwoven may also be pre activated to further improve stretch and/or softness.
