Abstract
A disposable absorbent brief is provided with a reinforced fastening tape landing zone which permits repeated removal and reattachment of the fastening tape for adjustment of fit. The backing sheet of the brief is a relatively thin and inexpensive sheet material which has at least one relatively thin and inexpensive, adhesively-secured strip of landing zone reinforcement sheet material. The reinforcement strip provides the strength required to allow tape removal and reattachment without causing tearing of the reinforcement strip or backing sheet or separation of the reinforcement sheet from the backing sheet. The adhesive layer is applied to the reinforcement sheet stock by slot coating as a continuous and uninterrupted layer on the reinforcement strip in a cost-effective and efficient process.
