Abstract
An improved disposable absorbent garment having opposed sides and ends to be located respectively between the legs and about the waist of a wearer, and having an inner moisture-absorbent layer with an outer water-impervious plastic sheet secured thereto. Fastener tabs attached to opposite sides of the garment adjacent the ends of the same have adhesively coated end portions for pressure attachment to the outer surface of the plastic sheet to secure the garment about the waist of the wearer. The outer surface of the plastic sheet is patterned with two sets of spaced parallel continuous raised ridges respectively extending parallel and perpendicular to the end edges of the garment to form a generally rectangular surface pattern, and the tabs are located so that their adhesively coated end portions extend generally parallel and perpendicular to the sets of ridges when attached to the outer surface of the plastic sheet, thereby enabling the tabs to be peeled from and adhesively reattached and repositioned a number of times on the garment for adjustment of the garment on the wearer without damage to the plastic outer sheet.
