The disposal fastener () is covered by a material layer () having a surface area such that it extends beyond the disposal fastener (). The material layer () is attached to or forms an integral part of the outer coversheet () so as to keep the disposal fastener () hidden when not in use. The material layer () is releasable from the outer coversheet () so as to expose the disposal fastener () for use.
