A disposable absorbent article includes first and second end portions, an intermediate crotch portion, and mechanical tape fasteners detachably interconnectable with at least one fastening parts disposed on the outer layer of the first end portion during a position of use. The tape fasteners are arranged on and joined to the inner layer of the second end portion via a producer's bonding face. A user's bonding face is arranged on an opposite user's end part of the tape fastener. Each tape fastener has an odd number of folds in a storage position. Producer's and user's bonding faces are turned towards the inner layer, the user end parts of the fasteners face one another, and the individual fold parts are joined to respective at least one other fold parts by means of a breakable bond in the storage position. The bond is breakable in order to establish the position of use.

A disposable absorbent article, comprising:a first end portion and a second end portion, which portions are intended at least partly to enclose a user's waist area during use of the article, and an intermediate crotch portion, said portions comprising an inner layer, which inner layer is turned towards the user during use and which inner layer is liquid-permeable at least in the crotch portion adapted to be opposite the user's genitals, a liquid-impermeable outer layer, and an absorbent body disposed between said outer and inner layers; said article including in the area of the second end portion at least two mechanical tape fasteners, the mechanical tape fasteners adapted to be, upon application of the article on the user, detachably interconnected with at least one fastening part disposed on the outer layer of the first end portion and being complementary to said mechanical tape fasteners, wherein the two mechanical tape fasteners are oppositely arranged on the inner layer of the article at opposite side portions of said second end portion, the two mechanical tape fasteners each have one longitudinal and one transverse extension, said mechanical tape fasteners are each permanently joined to the inner layer of the article by means of a producer's bonding face arranged on a first end part of each of the tape fasteners, a user's bonding face is arranged on an opposite second end part of each of the tape fasteners, and wherein prior to use of the article, the tape fasteners are arranged in a folded storage condition, each one of said tape fasteners being formed with only one fold and both said producer's bonding face and said user's bonding face being turned towards the inner layer of the article in the storage condition, the second end parts of the two tape fasteners extending toward one another in said storage condition and in the storage condition of said article, each of the tape fasteners includes a first fold part formed by the second end part that is joined to at least one other fold part formed by the first end part by means of a bond, said bond being breakable in order to interconnect the user's bonding face to said at least one fastening part upon application of the article, and wherein in their condition of storage, the tape fasteners are arranged in their entirety on the inner layer, with laterally outermost end edges of the tape fasteners formed by the respective said one folds being located interiorly of lateral edges of said opposite side portions; wherein in said folded storage condition, in each of said tape fasteners the opposite second end part is located laterally interiorly of the first end part so as to cover the latter; wherein each user's bonding face is in the form of hooks of a hook-and-loop fastener and the at least one complementary fastening part being formed with apertures, loops or fiber filaments for co-operation with the hooks; and wherein the inner layer of the article comprises fibers to which the hooks of each user's bonding face fasten in the storage position to form a bond which is weaker relative to a bond formed by the interconnection of the hooks of each of the user's bonding faces and said at least one complementary fastener and said breakable bond between the second end part and the first end part in the storage position. 2. The article as claimed in claim 1, wherein an outermost end piece of the second end part of each of the mechanical tape fasteners is coated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive providing a weak adhesion force.3. The article as claimed in claim 1, wherein each breakable bond is designed to ensure that a force in the range of 0.2 to 2N is required to break the bond when the mechanical tape fasteners have a transverse extension of 40 mm.4. The article as claimed in claim 1, wherein each breakable bond is in the form of a pattern of points or lines, and the bond is breakable without damage to the tape fastener.5. The article as claimed in claim 1, wherein the mechanical tape fasteners have a width of between 30 and 10 mm.6. The article as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the mechanical tape fasteners comprise at least one elastic part disposed between the first end part and the second end part, said elastic part arranged to stretch upon occurrence of load during use of the article.7. The article as claimed in claim 1, wherein the mechanical tape fasteners do not stretch upon occurrence of load during use of the article.8. The article as claimed in claim 1, wherein the article is a baby diaper or an incontinence diaper.9.
