Abstract
A disposable diaper is provided with adhesive tabs having gripping means to facilitate separation of the tab from release means preparatory to fastening the diaper about an infant. The adhesive tabs comprise a backing web which extends around and receives a marginal portion of the diaper, and a face web having continuous coating of adhesive on one face and a grippable adhesive-free region at one end. The face web comprises a fixed end permanently attached to one leg of the backing web, and an adhesive-coated free working portion situated between the fixed end and the grippable adhesive-free region. When the tab fastener is in a storage position, the free working portion is releasably attached to release means provided on the other leg of the backing web and the adhesive-free region extends inwardly from a lateral margin of the diaper and beyond the release means, so that it can be gripped for separating the free working portion from the release means when securing the diaper about an infant.
