ABSTRACT:
An absorbent garment is provided with a first and a second waist portions joined by an intermediate region including an absorbent body. A first attachment, provided on the first waist portion, and a second attachment, provided on the second waist portion, cooperate with each other for releasable attachment. The first attachment is provided with at least two elongate attachment strip elements extending between the side edges and the second attachment is provided with an attachment strip element, oriented generally transverse to said first attachment and located at each side edge of the second waist portion. By arranging the first attachment strip elements to be separated by a distance, which is at least as large as a major proportion of the width of any one of the first attachment strip elements, and by giving each of the second attachment strips a length greater than the distance separating the first attachment strip elements, the waistband region of the garment is given good stability whilst still maintaining the advantages of adjustable reclosure.
