摘要

A disposable absorbent article with a mechanical fastening system having disposal means (68) so as to provide convenient disposal of the absorbent article. The mechanical fastening system preferably comprises a tape tab (60) having a first fastening element (62), a landing member (64) comprising a second fastening element engageable with the first fastening element (62), and disposal means (68) for allowing the absorbent article to be secured in a configuration that provides convenient disposal of the absorbent article. The disposal means (68) preferably comprises a second fastening element (106) affixed to the backing surface of at least one of the tape tabs (60) so that the first fastening element (62) of the opposite tape tab will engage the second fastening element (106) of the disposal means (68) so as to secure the absorbent article in its disposal configuration.
