Each of the rear lateral sections (22) can be placed around the body of the user in order to close the incontinence diaper (2) and can be brought into overlapping arrangement with a front region (12) exterior, to which the lateral sections can then be removably adhered via the respective closure means (28). The rear lateral sections (22) have an extension (Q) in the transverse direction (10) over the respective rear lateral longitudinal edge (18) and an elastic or elasticized region (42) which extends in the transverse direction (10) and in the longitudinal direction (8). The invention is characterized in that the rear lateral sections (22) are folded together about at least two lateral section folding axes (46, 48) running in the longitudinal direction (8) by the manufacturer, and folded together sub-regions (50, 52, 54) of the rear lateral sections (22) are defined and delimited by means of the lateral section folding axes (46, 48). An outer sub-region (54) in the transverse direction (10) is designed to be substantially unstretchable, and at least 50% of the surface of a sub-region (52) which adjoins the outer sub-region (54) inwards is unstretchable starting from the outer folding axis (48) running in the longitudinal direction.

The invention relates to an incontinence diaper (2) with a main part (4), which comprises a front region (12), a rear region (16) with rear lateral longitudinal edges (18), and a crotch region (20) arranged between the front region and the rear region, and with rear lateral sections (22) which are joined to the rear region (16) on both sides, whereas no lateral sections (22) are joined to the front region (14). In order to position and close the incontinence diaper (2), the rear lateral sections (22) can be brought into overlapping arrangement with a front region (12) exterior, to which the lateral sections can then be removably adhered via respective closure means (28). The rear lateral sections (22) have an elastic or elasticized region (42), and the extension (Q) of the rear lateral sections (22) comprises a proximal half (38) which adjoins the rear longitudinal edge (18) and a freely ending distal half (40) in the transverse direction (10). The invention is characterized in that the respective elastic region (42) of each rear lateral section (22) is arranged completely within the proximal half (38) and extends to the paired rear longitudinal edge (18) or has a distance of maximally 30 mm from the rear longitudinal edge (18) in the transverse direction (10), and each rear lateral section (22) is substantially non-stretchable in the entire distal half (40).

A disposable diaper has, in a dorsal section of the outer sheet, a fastening tape extending orthogonally to a dorsoventral direction. The fastening tape includes: a base portion on the outer sheet; a main unit section on a distal end of the base portion; and an engagement portion on a distal end of the main unit section. A dorsal end edge of the main unit section is continuous with a dorsal end edge of the engagement portion, and a ventral end edge of the main unit section is continuous with a ventral end edge of the engagement portion. The fastening tape has a slit portion formed in an extending direction. The main unit section has elastically stretchable members formed in the extending direction at intervals in a dorsoventral direction. A ventral portion and a dorsal portion in the engagement portion extend more distally than a central portion thereof.

The present disclosure relates to absorbent articles comprising a first belt and a second belt, comprising one or more frangible pathways. A fastener component may be positioned on the inner wearer facing surface of the first belt and/or second belt, and an accessibility opening in the first belt and/or the second belt may be positioned adjacent the fastener component and the inner edge of the first belt and/or the second belt. Positioning fastener components on the inner wearing facing surface of the first belt and/or the second belt helps to conceal the fastener component from the wearer while wearing the diaper pant. Positioning the accessibility opening adjacent the fastener component may help a caregiver successfully determine the location of and access such hidden disposal fastener components. An absorbent article may also comprise opening facilitation features to help a user to successfully determine the location and/or function of the fastener component.

The present disclosure relates to absorbent articles comprising first and second belts. Longitudinally opposing end regions of the absorbent chassis are connected with the first and second belts, and a portion of the chassis that overlaps an inner wearer facing surface of the first belt may define a chassis overlap region. In turn, the chassis overlap region comprises an adherence region, where adhesive is positioned between the chassis and the inner wearer facing surface of the first belt and permanently bonds the chassis with the first belt. The adherence region may comprise a first adherence zone adjacent an inner edge of the first belt, a second adherence zone adjacent a first end edge of the chassis, and a third adherence zone positioned longitudinally between the first adherence zone and the second adherence zone. The adherence region may define a separable region, which may be in the form of a pocket.

The present disclosure relates to absorbent articles having a first belt and a second belt with one or more frangible pathways. A frangible pathway may extend between a proximal terminus on an inner edge of a belt and a distal terminus on an outer edge of the belt. A grip region comprising an accessibility opening may be positioned between the inner and outer edges of the belt. The frangible pathway may comprise a first tear zone and a second tear zone extending from the accessibility opening to the distal terminus and to the proximal terminus. Such frangible pathway configurations provide a feature that allows a belt of a diaper pant to be relatively easily torn along the frangible pathway when removing the diaper pant from a wearer. The frangible pathway may be configured to allow a caregiver to initiate and/or completely tear the first belt with one hand.

A low-weight infant diaper has a longitudinal direction and a width direction that intersect each other.
