Abstract: The present invention relates to a closure tape tab (2) for an absorbent article, particularly for a disposable diaper, for fastening the article on the body of a person. The closure tape tab (2) comprises a proximal end portion (4) and a distal end portion (8) being connected by an inner tab portion (16), wherein the inner tab portion (16) has a first major surface (18) and a second major surface (20). The proximal and distal end portions (4, 8) are connected to the inner tab portion (16) at the first major surface (18) thereof such that opposing ends of the proximal and distal end portions (4, 8) are spaced apart from each other. An anti-adhesive means (26) is provided at at least a part of the first major surface (18) of the inner tab portion (16) in the space. The present invention furthermore relates to a prelaminated closure tape, preferably in a stable roll, from which such closure tape tabs can be cut.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of applying a fastener portion 10 to an absorbent article 1, said method comprising in a first alternative (A) the steps of: (i) providing a top sheet 2, (ii) placing one or more fastener portions 10 onto an inner surface 2a of the top sheet 2 so that a fastener user's end 12 is essentially supported by the top sheet 2 and a fastener manufacture's end 11 is essentially adjacent to one of the lateral edges 2c,2d of the top sheet 2 whereby the fastening means 15 is facing towards the inner surface 2a of the top sheet 2, (iii) folding around the manufacturer's end 11 so that it is essentially opposite to the user's end 12, and (iv) applying an absorbent core 4 and a back sheet 3 onto the top sheet 2, whereby the sequence of steps (iii) and (iv) may be exchanged, or in a second alternative (B) (i) providing a back sheet 3, (ii) placing one or more fastener portions 10 onto the outer surface 3b of the back sheet 3 so that a fastener user's end 12 is essentially supported b
