The absorbent article includes a substantially rectangular chassis having a front section, a rear section, and a crotch section extending between the front section and the rear section. The front section is configured to be positioned against a front of a wearer, and the rear section is configured to be positioned against a back of the wearer. A substrate is coupled to the front section of the chassis and provides a landing zone. The substrate has opposing side edges that extend beyond side edges of the front section so a portion of the substrate is positioned against sides of the wearer. A pair of fastening tabs is coupled to the rear section of the chassis and each fastening tab has a fastener that releaseably engages the landing zone of the substrate.
