ABSORBENT ARTICLE HAVING AN IMPROVED MECHANICAL FASTENING SYSTEM

摘要

An absorbent article (20) having an improved fastening system. The fastening system includes a securement member (50) disposed in the rear waist portion of the absorbent article (10) and at least one landing member (40) disposed in the front waist portion of the absorbent article (20). The securement member (50) preferably includes a plurality of hooks (52). The landing member (40) preferably includes a plurality of loops which are engageable with the hooks (52) of the securement member (50). The landing member (40) is secured about its periphery along peripheral seal lines to the backsheet (26) in the front waist portion of the absorbent article (20). Upon separation of the securement member (50) from the landing member (40), the portion of the landing member (40) within the peripheral seal lines lifts and separates from the backsheet, (26) thereby increasing the peel strength of the fastening system.
