An article (20) has a front waistband section (38), a back waistband section (40), an intermediate section (42) interconnecting the front and back waistband sections, a longitudinal direction (86), a cross-direction (88) and a laterally extending line (100) which is longitudinally centered in the article (20). At least a first fit panel (36) is connected to an inside surface (66) of at least one of the waistband sections (38, 40), and the fit panel has a direction-dependent coefficient of friction value along a basis line (54) of the fit panel. A first coefficient of friction value is exhibited when sliding on the fit panel along the basis line in a first, inward basis direction (62) generally toward the lateral line and a different second coefficient of friction value is exhibited when sliding on the fit panel along the basis line in a second, outward basis direction (64) which is opposite the first basis direction (62).

[ We claim:] [1.] An article having a front waistband section, a back waistband section, an intermediate section interconnecting said front and back waistband sections, a longitudinal direction, a cross-direction and a laterally extending line which is longitudinally centered in said article, said article comprising:at least a first fit panel connected to an inside surface of at least one of said waistband sections, said fit panel having a direction-dependent coefficient of friction value along a basis line of said fit panel, wherein a first coefficient of friction value is exhibited when sliding on said fit panel along said basis line in a first inward direction generally toward said laterally extending line, a second, different coefficient of friction value is exhibited when sliding on said fit panel along said basis line in a second outward direction opposite said first direction, said first and second coefficient of friction values are determined with respect to testing against foam, and the greater of said first and second coefficient of friction values is not more than about 2.4.
