An absorbent disposable article comprising: an inner layer which faces the wearer during use of the article, an outer layer, an absorbent element arranged between the outer and inner layers, a crotch portion, waist portions located on both sides of the crotch portion which surround the waist of the wearer during use of the article, and a tape permanently attached by a portion on the outside of said outer layer, said tape having a tape flap which is arranged in a parked state during use of the article and which can be brought from its parked state into a state of use in order, after use of the article and after folding or rolling together of the article to form a package, to be usable for closing the package formed, the tape being essentially T-shaped in longitudinal section when the tape flap has been freed from its parked state and raised into an extended state projecting straight out from the outer layer, the tape flap forming a stem portion of said T while two cross-legs of the T constitute the portion that is permanently attached to the outer layer, as a result of which tensile forces in the tape flap are taken up either by the two cross-legs or in the longitudinal direction by one of the cross-legs, the two cross-legs are permanently attached to the outer layer along the whole length of the two cross-legs, the outer layer comprising a laminate of non-woven fabric, the laminate containing at least one outer ply of spunbond non-woven and an inner ply of at least one meltblown non-woven, and the tape being permanently attached to the outer layer with such adhesion that the tape withstands a load of at least 25 N in said tape flap without the tape coming away from the outer layer.
