Abstract
A disposable diaper has a fastening system comprising tape fasteners and a receiving sheet. The tape fasteners extend outward from transversely opposite side edges of a rear region 6 of the diaper. These tape fasteners are releasably fastened to the receiving sheet intermittently bonded by means of adhesive to an outer surface of a backsheet of the diaper. A color of the adhesive can be seen through the receiving sheet and serves as a positioning indicator when the tape fasteners are fastened to the receiving sheet.
