Abstract
A distinctive fastening tab comprises a fastener substrate having a construction-bond portion, a user-bond portion, a fastening surface and a user surface. The user-bond portion includes a leading region and at least one trailing region thereof, and the leading region is separated from the trailing region by a substantially non-securing spacing section which can extend over a selected, lateral spacing distance, such as a distance of at least about 5 mm. A securing mechanism connects to the fastening surface of the substrate along the leading and trailing regions of the user-bond portion, thereby providing a securing mechanism leading region and a securing mechanism trailing region which are separated apart by the spacing distance.
