An article, such as a diaper (10), has a length-wise longitudinal direction (26) , a transverse lateral direction (24), and a first waistband portion (12) at the bac k or rear of the diaper. The first waistband portion has an inward, bodyside surface (90) and an outward surface (92) thereof. A second, front waistband portion (14) is posit ioned longitudinally opposite of the first waistband portion (12) and has an inward, bodyside surface (90) and an outward surface (92) thereof. An intermediate, crot ch portion (16) interconnects the first and second waistband portion, respectively. The article comprises a backsheet layer (30) and a substantially liquid permeable topsheet layer (28) which is connected in a superposed relation with the backshe et layer (30). A absorbent structure (32) is sandwiched between the backsheet and topsheet layers, and a flip fastener (36) is joined to each of a pair of lateral ly opposed end regions (86) of the first waistband portion (12). Each flip fastener (36) includes a longitudinally extending flip tab section (60) which is joined to a longitudinally outboard edge region (82) of the first waistband portion (12) to project longitudinally beyond and outboard from the first waistband portion (12). A firs t fastening component is operatively joined to an appointed fastening surface of e ach flip tab section (60), and each flip fastener has an appointed folding line (59) which extends along the lateral direction (24) of the article. A first landing zone co mponent (50) is joined to a selected surface of the second waistband portion (14) and an appointed area of the first landing zone component is configured to provide a fastening attachment to each of the first fastening components (52) when each fl ip tab section (60) is operatively pivoted about its folding line (59) to thereby e ngage its corresponding area of the first landing zone component.
