Abstract: A hair relaxing system, activator and methods of use and preparation are disclosed. The system includes a first package containing a substantially water-free activator that includes a hydrolyzable organic base having a PK.sub.a value of at least about 12 present in free base form in an amount sufficient to relax hair dissolved in an organic solvent that is immiscible with petrolatum. The second package of the system contains water and may also contain oleaginous materials and emulsifiers. Admixture of the first and second packages provides a relaxer composition that has a pH value of at least 12 and contains at least about 20 weight percent water.

Abstract: A disposable diaper having a facing sheet defining a diaper inside surface and a backing sheet defining a diaper outside surface is provided with adhesive tabs at corners of the diaper along one transverse margin which can be inserted through openings at corners of the diaper along the opposite transverse margin of the diaper. The corners of the diaper having the tabs are folded over, and an adhesive-coated free end of the tab is adhered to the backing sheet to secure the diaper about an infant.

Abstract: A disposable diaper having a facing sheet defining a diaper inside surface for direction toward an infant and a backing sheet defining a diaper outside surface is provided with adhesive tabs having a free end and a digitated fixed end which includes at least two integral anchoring legs. Each leg is provided with an adhesive coating on one face thereof. At least one of the legs is folded over on a bias so that a portion of the adhesive-coated face thereof is juxtaposed to an adjacent portion of the same adhesive-coated face. The fixed end is permanently attached by means of the adhesive coatings to the diaper facing and backing sheets, at least one leg being attached to the facing sheet and the remaining legs being attached to the backing sheet. The free end of the tab has an adhesive coating on one face thereof, is releasably attached to a release region, and is separable from the release region to make the adhesive-coated free end of the tab available for use in securing the diaper about an infant.

Abstract: A disposable diaper is provided with adhesive tabs, each having an adhesive surface on one face, and further having a fixed end permanently adhered to a backing sheet of the diaper at a marginal location, and a working end. A cover strip means is releasably adhered to the adhesive surface on the working end of each tab. Between the face opposite the adhesive surface on the working end of each tab and the backing sheet is positioned an adhesive spot so that the working end is releasably adhered to an intermediate portion of the backing sheet when the diaper is prefolded in a box pleat configuration and when the working end is folded over during manufacture or packaging.
