The present invention relates to a hygiene article for a single use, in particular disposable nappies or an incontinence product, with a front part, a rear part and an intermediate area for the legs, with closing tabs on the side edges of the rear part for connecting the rear part with the front part in order to seal the article which is placed on a support. The closing tabs have first mechanical closing elements, which cooperate with second mechanical closing elements, fitted to the front part, upon closing of the article. The closing tabs have each at least one adhesive zone, so that they can also be fixed to another part of the article. In order to be able to dispose of the article safely in rolled up state, the article is so designed, according to the invention, that at least one part of the mechanical closing elements of the first type have an adhesive layer at each end opposite the closing tab, and these closing elements at the same time form the adhesive zone, and thus fulfil a mechanical function on closing the article as well as an adhesive function on fixing the closing tabs to another part of the folded or rolled up article, with a view to the disposal of the article.

1. A single use hygiene item, forming at least one of: a disposable diaper and an incontinence product, comprising:a front part having mechanical fastening elements free of adhesive; a back part defining lateral edges; and fastening tongues extending from each lateral edge of said back part for connecting said back part to said front part for fastening the item placed on a wearer, said fastening tongues each have a base surface and first mechanical fastening elements extending therefrom which operate with said mechanical fastening elements of said front part, which serve as second mechanical fastening elements when fastening the item, said first mechanical fastening elements extending to an effective height from said base surface of said fastening tongues to a free end facing away from said base surface and at least one adhesively designed area to enable fastening of said fastening tongues also to another portion of the item outside said second mechanical fastening elements, wherein at least a portion or all of said first mechanical fastening elements have a respective adhesive application at their end facing away from said base surface, wherein said first mechanical fastening elements simultaneously constitute said adhesively designed area so that they therefore have both a mechanical function for operating with said second mechanical fastening elements of said front part when fastening the item and an adhesive function for item disposal by adhesively adhering the fastening tongues to another portion outside those second mechanical fastening elements of said front part.
