The invention refers to a pant-type absorbent article such as a pant diaper, a sanitary pant or incontinence pant comprising a front portion (5) and a back portion (6) joined to each other along longitudinally extending side seams (13, 14) and further comprising a connecting portion (19) between the front and back portions. The connecting portion (19) forms a crotch region (19a) and leg openings (16, 17). At least part of the front portion, back portion and the connecting portion is composed of an elastic laminate extending transversely across the width of the front, back and connecting portions. Elongated leg elastic members (27-30, 39, 40) extend along the leg openings in at least part of the connecting portion (19) and terminate at a distance from the respective side seam (13, 14) thus leaving an area corresponding to a peripheral length (p) of at least 50 mm along the respective leg opening where the leg elastic members are absent and wherein the connecting portion (19) in said area where the leg elastic members are absent is composed of said elastic laminate in at least 90% of said peripheral length (p).
