A disposable absorbent garment includes a moisture impervious outer layer, a nonwoven moisture pervious inner layer, an absorbent layer sandwiched and encased between the inner and outer layers, with the sandwiched layers having opposed first and second waist edges and two opposed side margins. The garment further includes a fastener or closure system comprising a pair of gripping strips or extensions from each of the side margins along the second waist edge, each gripping strip having a plurality of first resiliently deformable connectors integrally formed therein. The fastener system further includes a pair of targets located on the outer layer along the first waist edge adjacent each side margin, each target having a plurality of second connectors integrally formed thereon which are adapted to engage the first connectors of the gripping strips. The first and second connectors comprise interlocking means of the fastener system and include a plurality of interlockable projections and receptacles. The projections and receptacles may be circular or of any polygonal shape or they may comprise interlocking ridges and grooves. In one embodiment, each of the first connectors is a receptacle comprising a throat which extends through the gripping strip, and each of the second connectors comprise a projection which projects through and interlocks with a gripping strip throat.

A disposable absorbent garment comprising: a liquid absorbent structure having opposed first and second laterally extending waist edges with a crotch region therebetween, opposed inner and outer surfaces extending between the first and second waist edges, and two opposed side margins extending generally in an axial direction between the first and second waist edges; a plurality of first resiliently deformable connecting projecting form one of the first and second outer surfaces at each side margin along the first waist edge; a plurality of second connectors projecting outwardly from the other of the first and second outer surfaces at each side margin along the second waist edge, the second connectors being adapted to receive and engage at least one of the first connectors upon pressing and deforming the first connectors against the second connectors to resiliently and releasably grip the engaged first and second connectors; the first and second connectors being positioned to engage one another at plural axially shifted positions so as to allow lengthening and shortening of the garment in the crotch region; and wherein at least one of the first and second connectors are elongated to have width and length dimensions, with the length dimension being greater than the width dimension, and at least the other of the first and second connectors are arranged in rows spaced-apart from one another.
