ABSTRACT:
An absorbent article (10) includes an absorbent core (12) disposed between an inner coversheet (14) and an outer coversheet (16). The article further includes at least one disposal fastener (18) which is directly or indirectly joined to the outer coversheet (16). The disposal fastener (18) includes a fastening element (20) which allows the article to be secured in a configuration that provides a convenient disposal after the article has been used. The disposal fastener (18) is covered by a material layer (22) having a surface area such that it extends beyond the disposal fastener (18). The material layer (22) is attached to or forms an integral part of the outer coversheet (16) so as to keep the disposal fastener (18) hidden when not in use. The material layer (22) is releasable from the outer coversheet (16) so as to expose the disposal fastener (18) for use.
