An absorbent garment such as an incontinence diaper includes a belt and an absorption unit, the rear short side of which is preferably releasably joined with the belt. The opposite short side of the absorption unit, situated at the front of a user, has two end parts, each situated at one end of the short side, which each by their hook and loop fasteners are releasably connectable with the waist belt in a plurality of positions in relation thereto. Each fastener has a piece of first hook and loop material non-releasably connected with one of the casing layers within the respective end parts, and a therewith cooperating piece of second, complementary hook and loop material which on its side facing away from the hook and loop devices is provided with an adhesive layer which in the unused state of the fasteners is covered by a protective layer. The protective layer is suitably fastened to the inner casing layer on the end part of the front short side, whereby a garment with clean contours is obtained and loose pieces of protective layer avoided when the absorption unit is brought into use the first time.
