Claim:
An absorbent incontinence diaper for use on an adult user, comprising: a chassis comprising a liquid-permeable topsheet which, when in use on said adult user, is directed toward a user body and a liquid impermeable backsheet which, when in use on said adult user, is directed away from the user body, the backsheet having an outer face comprising a first nonwoven material having a first mass per unit area and having a first thickness; said chassis having: a front area which, when in use on said adult user, is located on a front of said adult user, said front area including a first front side and a second front side, a rear area which, when in use on said adult user, is located on a rear of said adult user, said rear area including a first rear side and a second rear side, and a crotch area located between the front area and the rear area; an absorbent body disposed between said liquid-permeable topsheet and said liquid impermeable backsheet; a pair of rear side parts, comprising a first discrete side part joined at said first rear side of said chassis, and a second discrete side part joined at said second rear side of said chassis; a pair of front side parts, comprising a third discrete side part joined at said first front side of said chassis, and having an outer face comprising a second nonwoven material, and a fourth discrete side part joined at said second front side of said chassis, and having an outer face comprising said second nonwoven material; said second nonwoven material has a second mass per unit area that is greater than said first mass per unit area of said first nonwoven material and has a second thickness which is greater than said first thickness of said first nonwoven material under a pressure of 0.5 kPa; a first closure aid, comprising a first mechanical closure aid, connected to said first discrete side part; said first closure aid configured for selective detachable fastening to said outer face of said backsheet and to said outer face of said third discrete side part; a second closure aid, comprising a second mechanical closure aid, connected to said second discrete side part; said second closure aid configured for selective detachable fastening to said outer face of said backsheet and to said outer face of said fourth discrete side part; wherein a retaining force between said first closure aid and said outer face of said backsheet when in use permits retention of said first closure aid for securing said diaper to said adult user and is lower than a retaining force between said first closure aid and said outer face of said third discrete side part; and wherein a retaining force between said second closure aid and said outer face of said backsheet when in use permits retention of said second closure aid for securing said diaper to said adult user and is lower than a retaining force between said second closure aid and said outer face of said fourth discrete side part.
