Abstract

A method of making a prefastened disposable absorbent article includes forming a continuous web of interconnected absorbent articles each of which includes a pair of primary fasteners which are located on the side edges of the article in one of the waist regions of the article. The method also includes cutting the continuous web of interconnected articles into discrete absorbent articles which are folded about a fold line extending in a lateral direction through the crotch region of the article thereby positioning the waist regions of the article in a facing relationship. The waist regions are then releasably bonded together. The method further includes folding the primary fasteners over and onto the opposite waist region to releasably engage the opposite waist region to provide the prefastened absorbent article. The releasable bonding step releasably bonds the waist regions together to assist in maintaining the prefastened absorbent article in a prefastened condition when it is pulled on or off over the hips of the wearer.
