The diaper comprises a coversheet, a backsheet, a waist region having a front waist portion and a back waist portion each having a lateral portion terminating at a lateral edge, a strip of loop material at each lateral edge of the front waist portion and a tape tab with a folded portion having a hook surface at each lateral edge of the back waist portion, wherein when said back waist portion is folded over said front waist portion, each of the hook material engages a correspondingly aligned loop strip. In one embodiment the outer surface of the front waist region may itself be made of loop material for engagement with the hook fastener. A method is also provided for making the present pull-up type absorbent articles.
