Abstract: A method for fabricating a refastenable absorbent garment comprises moving a base web in a first machine direction, moving at least two strips of fastener material in a second machine direction, cutting the at least two strips of fastener material to define at least a first and second stream of a plurality of fastener members, successively rotating each of the fastener members in each of the first and second streams, and applying each of the rotated fastener members in each of the first and second streams to the base web, wherein the fastener members in the first stream are sequentially located relative to the fastener members in the second stream on the base web in an alternating relationship along the first machine direction. An apparatus for fabricating a refastenable absorbent garment is also provided and includes a rotator and a construction drum rotating about an axis and positioned adjacent the rotator.
