| abstract |
A fastener tab for securing absorbent garments is provided. The fastener tab has a first elastic region that extends laterally outward from a waist region of the garment, a second elastic region that extends laterally outward from the first elastic region, and a grip that is attached to an outboard portion of the second elastic region. The first elastic region has a greater stretch resistance than the second elastic region. In another embodiment of the invention, the fastener tab has a substantially inelastic region interposed between the first elastic region and the second elastic region. |
