The diaper employs two regions of adhesive for this purpose. The first said region is preferably located at the upper end of the diaper and comprises two adhesive areas at or near the corners of the diaper. The second adhesive region is located at the other end of the diaper and comprises two adhesive areas which are located in the side margins of the diaper and are spaced away from the corners at said other end.
