Wearing article

A wearing article comprising:

• a chassis having a longitudinal axis, a transverse axis orthogonal to said longitudinal axis, an inner surface, an outer surface, first and second waist regions cooperating with each other to define a waist-opening and a crotch region extending between said first and second waist regions and cooperating with these two waist regions to define a pair of leg-openings;
• a faster mechanism serving to connect said first and second waist regions with each other along transversely opposite side edges thereof one to another;
• an elastic adjusting means located in at least one of said first and second waist regions so that said elastic adjusting means stretches or contracts this waist region in a direction along said transverse axis;
• a pair of male fastener members in the form of flat and rigid panel each having distal and proximal ends spaced from each other in a direction along said transverse axis wherein said distal end extends toward said longitudinal axis and said proximal end is secured to each of said transversely opposite side edges of said first waist region;
• and
• a pair of female fastener members located on said transversely opposite side edges of said second waist region so that said male fastener members are releasably engaged with said female fastener members.
