The present invention is directed to a mechanical fastening system for use with disposable absorbent products. More particularly, a reinforced landing surface is disclosed for securing a hook-type mechanical fastener thereto. The reinforced landing surface includes a fibrous non-woven layer and a scrim-like web that is attached in a composite arrangement to the fibrous non-woven layer. The mechanical fasteners include a plurality of hooks, such as those used in a hook and loop type fastener which extend through the scrim-like web and penetrate the non-woven fibrous layer and become intertwined therewith. Depending upon the fastening requirements, the pattern of the scrim-like web may be repetitive, variable, continuous or discrete.
