Disposable diaper having antislip elements

A disposable diaper, comprising:

• a diaper structure comprising
• a front waist region, a rear waist region, a crotch region extending in a longitudinal direction of said diaper structure between said front and rear waist regions,
• an absorbent core in at least said crotch region,
• each of said front and rear waist regions including transversely opposed side flap regions on transversely opposite sides of said absorbent core, and
• a rear waist elastic member for elasticizing the rear waist region in a transverse direction of said diaper structure, said rear waist elastic member extending in the rear waist region, in the transverse direction of said diaper structure, and being rearwardly spaced from a rear end of said absorbent core;
• a pair of tape fasteners adapted to releasably attach said front waist region to said rear waist region, said tape fasteners being respectively attached to the transversely opposite side flap regions of the rear waist region;
• and
• antislip elements being immovably fixed to said diaper structure in the rear waist region and at locations adjacent to opposite ends of said rear waist elastic member, said antislip elements having a frictional force higher than that of the side flap regions of the rear waist region, thereby facilitating manual gripping of said diaper structure in the rear waist region and stretching of said rear waist elastic member in the transverse direction while the diaper is being put on a wearer;
• wherein
• said diaper structure comprises an inner surface which is adapted to face, in use, toward the wearer, said inner surface of said diaper structure being free of said antislip elements;
• said diaper structure further comprises an outer surface which is adapted to face, in use, away from the wearer, said antislip elements being attached to the outer surface of said diaper structure;
• each of said tape fasteners comprises a distal end carrying fastening members engageable with the outer surface of said diaper structure in the front waist region, and a proximal end free of said fastening members and inwardly spaced from said distal end in the transverse direction;
• and
• the proximal end of each said tape fastener is attached to the inner surface of said diaper structure in an area corresponding to the respective one of said antislip elements so as to overlay said respective antislip element which, in turn, is completely spaced inwardly from the fastening members carried at the distal end of the respective tape fastener.
