ABSTRACT:
An article includes a distinctive refastenable adhesive taping system. The article comprises an outer cover which has waistband sections positioned at opposite ends thereof and has an intermediate section which interconnects the waistband sections. The outer cover includes a securing zone which is located at a first of the waistband sections and which provides a landing surface appointed for receiving adhesion of one or more adhesive tabs thereon. The securing zone has a selected peak tensile strength and a selected rigidity value. An adhesive tab is located at at least one lateral side edge of a second of the waistband sections for securing the waistband sections around a wearer. The tab includes a backing layer and an adhesive layer, and, when adhered to the landing surface, has a 180.degree. peel adhesion value which is less than the peak strength of the securing zone. The backing layer has a rigidity value selected to provide a rigidity ratio of not more than about 10:1, where the rigidity ratio is determined by dividing the backing layer rigidity value by the securing zone rigidity value. The securing zone and adhesive tab thereby provide an improved refastenable taping system.
