ABSTRACT:
An absorbent article (10) has a first waistband portion (12), a second waistband portion (14) and an intermediate portion (16) interconnecting the front and back waistband portions. The article (10) comprises a backsheet layer (30), a liquid permeable topsheet layer (28) and an absorbent structure (32) which is sandwiched between the backsheet and topsheet layers. A fastening system is configured to operably connect the first waistband portion (12) to the second waistband portion (14) to hold the article on a wearer. The fastening system includes at least one fastener tab (36) attached to extend laterally at a side edge region (86) of the first waistband portion (12), and an articulated landing member (50) attached to the second waistband portion (14). The fastener tab (36) includes an extending layer member which has a predetermined clasping contour (60) formed therein, and the landing member has a moveable section (52) which is pivotably attached to the second waistband portion (14) of the article (10). A first mechanical fastener component (70), such as provided by a hook material, is attached to an appointed mating surface (54) of the moveable section (52). A second complimentary mechanical fasteners component (72), such as provided by a loop material, is attached to an appointed engagement surface section (58) of the second waistband portion (14), and the engagement surface section (58) is located substantially subjacent to the moveable section (52).
