Claim:
A disposable diaper having a body facing surface and a garment facing surface, comprising: an adhesive tape provided on the garment facing surface for holding the diaper in a rolled-up state for disposal of the diaper; said adhesive tape comprising a first tape and a second tape attached to said garment facing surface and aligned along a straight line, said first tape being folded back in two sections so that opposite ends of said first tape point in one direction of said straight line and said two sections defining a first inner tape section lying on a side of said garment facing surface and a first outer tape section overlaid on said first inner tape section from outside, a surface of said first inner tape section opposed to said garment facing surface being fixed, in a vicinity of said end of said first inner tape section, directly to said garment facing surface and spaced, in a vicinity of a fold contiguous to said first outer tape section, from said garment facing surface, and said first outer tape section being coated, at least partially on a surface opposed to said first inner tape section, with an adhesive so as to be temporarily fixed to at least one of said first inner tape section and said garment facing surface in such a manner as to be released; and said second tape being folded back in two sections and overlaid so that opposite ends of said second tape point in an opposite direction of said straight line and said two sections defining a second inner tape section lying on the side of said garment facing surface and a second outer tape section overlaid on said second inner tape section from outside, said second tape section being at least partially interposed, in the vicinity of said fold of said first tape, between said first tape and said garment facing surface, said second inner tape section being fixed directly to said garment facing surface opposed thereto and said second outer tape section being fixed to said first inner tape section opposed thereto, a dimension P which is a length between the fold of the second tape to a free end of the first inner tape section, and a dimension Q which is a length between the fold of the second tape to a free end of the second inner tape section having the relationship that Q/(P+Q)=0.1-0.6.
