Abstract
An absorbent article has a chassis, a pair of ears extending transversely outward from opposite sides of the chassis, and a fastening system comprising a primary fastening system and a secondary fastening system. The secondary fastening system includes a secondary second fastening component located on each of the ears and a corresponding secondary first fastening component located on the outer surface of the article at a first waist portion. A ΔE value calculated using the Color Contrast Test between the secondary first fastening components uncovered by the ears and the secondary first fastening components covered by the ears is greater than 15.

An absorbent article having an inner surface, an outer surface, a first waist portion, a second waist portion, a crotch portion extending longitudinally between and connecting the first waist portion and the second waist portion, the absorbent article comprising:
- a chassis having longitudinally opposite ends, transversely opposite sides, a bodyside liner at least in part defining the inner surface of the article, an outer cover at least in part defining the outer surface of the article, and an absorbent core disposed between the liner and the outer cover;
- a pair of ears extending transversely outward from the opposite sides of the chassis at the second waist portion thereof;
- and
- a fastening system comprising a primary fastening system and a secondary fastening system, the primary fastening system comprising a primary first fastening component located on each of the pair of ears and a primary second fastening component located on the outer surface of the article at the first waist portion, the secondary fastening system comprising a secondary second fastening component located on each of the ears and a corresponding secondary first fastening component located on the outer surface of the article at the first waist portion, a ΔE value calculated using the Color Contrast Test between the secondary first fastening components uncovered by the ears and the secondary first fastening components covered by the ears being greater than 15.
An absorbent article having an inner surface, an outer surface, a first waist portion, a second waist portion, a crotch portion extending longitudinally between and connecting the first waist portion and the second waist portion, the absorbent article comprising:
