• a front waist region, a back waist region, a crotch region disposed between the front waist region and the back waist region, a front waist end edge, a back waist end edge, a longitudinal axis extending from a mid-point of the front waist end edge to a mid-point of the back waist end edge, a first longitudinally extending side edge, a second longitudinally extending side edge, a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the backsheet and the topsheet;
• wherein first and second front panels disposed in the front waist region and first and second back panels disposed in the back waist region are joined to form a pant comprising a first permanent side edge seam and a laterally opposed second permanent side edge seam, and wherein the first and second permanent side edge seams define an initial waist opening circumference and a pair of leg openings;
• a first fastening component comprising first fastening surface disposed on an exterior surface of the first front panel and at least a portion of a third fastening component disposed on or part of a surface that forms the same surface as the absorbent article exterior surface, wherein the first fastening surface comprises hooks extending toward the contacting a first non-engagement zone that is disposed on an interior surface of the first back panel, and wherein the first front panel comprises a first separation zone;
• a second fastening component comprising a second fastening surface disposed on an exterior surface of the second front panel and at least a portion of the third fastening component disposed on or part of a surface the forms the same surface as the absorbent article exterior surface, wherein the second fastening surface comprises hooks contacting a second non-engagement zone that is disposed on an interior surface of the second back panel, and wherein the second front panel comprises a second separation zone;
• wherein the initial waist opening circumference formed by the first and second permanent side edge seams is configured to be opened;
• wherein the first fastening surface and the second fastening surface are configured to be refastenably engaged and separated with the third fastening component after separation of the first and second separation zones;
• and
• wherein the first and second non-engagement zones are configured to be an absorbent article interior surface after separation of the first and second separation zones and engagement of the first and second fastening surfaces with the third fastening component after separation of the first and second separation zones;
• and
• wherein the first and second non-engagement zones are configured to be an absorbent article interior surface after separation of the first and second separation zones and engagement of the first and second fastening surface with the third fastening componenet.
