In an absorbent article (20) a mechanical fastening system (24) is provided wherein the landing member (64) comprises a loop-type material. The landing member (64) is elastically extensible in the direction of the front transverse edge by at least 5 percent, preferably at least 30 percent, so that it allows for elastic constraction and expansion of the front waist region (94). The landing member (64) may be of extensible material and may be formed by the top sheet material (26) which projects beyond the front transverse edge of the back sheet (30), or top sheet material (26) which is doubled over at the front waist region (94). Alternatively, the back sheet (30) comprises a front waist section (94) of different material than the back waist section (98). A separate elastic element may be associated with the landing member, or the landing member itself may be of stretchable loop-type material. In another embodiment, the landing member comprises at least one cutout section (90, 99, 100, 101, 102) in the back sheet (30) where the loop-type material of the landing member (64) is exposed.
