A method of applying leg elastics to absorbent garments involves optimizing the spacing between multiple elastic members. In the method, a first substrate is produced that has a plurality of holes, a ceramic layer will be formed by depositing extremely small particles of ceramic material on one side of the first substrate, and a filter having a plurality of holes will be obtained. The mouthpiece is adjoined by a rubber-elastic region of the suction nipple and goes over into a dimensionally stable suction tube attachment of the suction nipple. In addition, the windrow door assembly may include a deflector panel rotatably coupled to the door panel. The corresponding design parameters may include the density, size, pitch, shape, exclusion distance, minimum width, minimum length, and minimum area.
