Abstract
An improved adhesive tape tab for use on disposable diapers which distributes fastening and peeling forces to both the inside and outside surfaces thereof, thereby reducing stress levels on any one surface of the diaper. The tape tab has a tape which has a first portion fastened on one surface of the diaper. A second, extendable portion of the tape has adhesive material thereon. A flexible, open-mesh sheet material has a first portion attached to the adhesive surface on the second portion of the tape; a second portion of the sheet material is attached to the surface of the diaper opposite from the surface which the first portion of the tape is attached. By this "Y" structure arrangement, during use of the diaper fastening or peeling forces transmitted by the second portion of the tape are distributed to both surfaces of the diaper.
