Abstract
The invention relates to an absorbent article having two hook-type fastening members and a loop-type landing member in the front waist region, which is formed by a doubled over part of an inner layer that is located on the user facing side of the backsheet. The doubled over inner layer may for instance be comprised of the topsheet and may extend beyond the front transverse edge of the backsheet or may be co-extensive with the backsheet. The front waist region is maintained in a doubled over configuration by attachment means.

An absorbent article comprising:
- a liquid pervious topsheet:
- a backsheet joined to at least a portion of the topsheet having a garment-facing side and a user-facing side, two longitudinal sides, a front transverse edge, a front waist region located along the front transverse edge, a back transverse edge, and a back waist region located along the back transverse edge;
- an absorbent core disposed between at least a portion of the topsheet and at least a portion of the backsheet;
- a mechanical fastening system comprising a hook-type fastening member located in the back waist region and extending transversely beyond each longitudinal side, and
- a landing member for mechanically engaging with the hook-type fastening member,
- the landing member including at least a portion of the topsheet which is doubled over the backsheet in at least a portion of the front waist region, the topsheet being adapted to mechanically engage with the hook-type fastening members;
