Disclosed herein are fasteners for disposable absorbent articles and disp osable absorbent articles that include the fasteners. The disclosed fastener s generally are free of release tape and adhesives requiring those tapes. At the same time, the disclosed fasteners can be maintained in a closed positi on prior to the fastener's (and the disposable absorbent article's) use and during the process by which the article is manufactured. While maintainable in this closed position, the fastener may be easily opened by the consumer s uch that the fastener can be then used for its intended purpose, such as, fo r example to form a side closure on a diaper around the waist and legs of an infant. |
