Fastening tape with improved attachment systems

A fastening tape comprising:

• at least one nonwoven flexible membrane disposed adjacent to a bottom of the fastening tape;
• a plurality of attachment portions connecting the at least one nonwoven flexible membrane to the bottom of the fastening tape;
• a plurality of non-attachment portions that each form an open space between the at least one nonwoven flexible membrane and the bottom of the fastening tape, wherein each of the plurality of non-attachment portions are disposed adjacent to or between the plurality of attachment portions;
• and
• wherein the plurality of attachment points together make up less than approximately 50% of an area of the bottom of the fastening tape.

A fastening tape comprising:

• at least one nonwoven flexible fabric layer disposed adjacent to a bottom of the fastening tape;
• a plurality of attachment portions connecting the at least one nonwoven flexible fabric layer to the bottom of the fastening tape;
• a plurality of non-attachment portions that each form an open space between the at least one nonwoven flexible fabric layer and the bottom of the fastening tape, wherein:
• each of the plurality of non-attachment portions are disposed adjacent to or between the plurality of attachment portions;
• and
• at least one of the plurality of non-attachment portions is a cantilevered area adjacent a lateral edge of the at least one nonwoven flexible fabric layer, wherein the lateral edge is a cantilevered portion that is not attached to the bottom of the fastening tape.
