A method of manufacturing an absorptive article with a waistband member is disclosed. The method includes transporting a continuum with waistband regions (1A, 1B) where the continuum has an asymmetric shape about a centre line (CL). The continuum is transported while being held on at least a first belt conveyor (110) and a second belt conveyor (120). The first and second belt conveyors include a belt (111, 121) with a plurality of suctions holes (113, 123) and the continuum is transported while being held by a suction force through the suction holes (113, 123). The suction force through the holes (113) of the first belt conveyor (110) is different from the suction force through the holes (123) of the second belt conveyor (120).
