ABSTRACT:
The invention is an attachment means for an incontinent garment or diaper. It is particularly useful with a garment which has a relatively long, as measured in a longitudinal direction, waist or abdominal encircling portion. Prior known garments of this type normally require two adhesive attachment tabs. One of these is used to tighten the leg encircling portion of the garment and the other the waist encircling portion. The present invention accomplishes this with a single adhesive tab. The attachment system has an elastic anchor strip adjacent the longitudinal margins of the rear waist encircling portion of the garment. This is attached at each end with an unattached free zone in the center. A single attachment tab has one end located on the anchor strip and is generally normal thereto. When the garment is put in place on a wearer, the anchor strip serves as a yoke to simultaneously place tension around the waist area and leg areas of the garment.
