HERSTELLUNGSVERFAHREN FÜR EIN HOSENÄHNLICHES ABSORBIERENDES PRODUKT MIT WIEDERVERSCHLIESSBAREN SEITENTEILEN

摘要

A method of producing refastenable side seams in an absorbent garment results in an absorbent garment that is adapted to easy application and removal. The refastenable side seams can be produced in either a cross direction, wherein the width of the product is the machine direction, or a machine direction wherein the length of the product is the machine direction. Each of the refastenable side seams includes a lap side seam, which puts the seams under shear strain, as opposed to peel forces. The resulting garment can be opened and closed on either a left side or a right side of the garment.
