1 . A wearable absorbent article comprising:

a chassis comprising:

a backsheet;

a topsheet; and

an absorbent core disposed between the backsheet and the topsheet;

a first elastic side panel extending from a first side of the chassis;

a second elastic side panel extending from a second side of the chassis;

a front waist portion defined by a first longitudinal end portion of the chassis;

a back waist portion defined by a second longitudinal end portion of the chassis and at least a portion of the first elastic panel and at least a portion of the second elastic panel;

a first fastener disposed on the first elastic side panel; and

a second fastener disposed on the second elastic side panel,

each of the first and second fasteners comprising:

a fastening component attached to a first lateral end portion of the respective one of the first and second elastic side panels, the fastening component comprising at least one first strip of fastening material; and

a tab portion attached to a second lateral end portion of the respective one of the first and second elastic side panels, the second lateral end portion being disposed further from a longitudinal axis of the chassis as compared to the first lateral end portion, the tab portion comprising:

a first portion disposed adjacent to the fastening component, the first portion comprising at least one second strip of fastening material; and

a second portion extending from the first portion and beyond a lateral end of the respective one of the first and second elastic side panels, the second portion comprising at least one third strip of fastening material, the second portion having a length that is less than a length of the first portion,

the fastening components being configured to attach to the front waist portion to place the wearable absorbent article in a closed configuration.

3 . The wearable absorbent article of claim 2 , wherein each tab portion has a total hook area defined by a sum of all hook areas in both the first and second portions of the tab portion, and the hook area in the second portion makes up at least 50% of the total hook area.

4 . The wearable absorbent article of claim 3 , wherein the hook area in the second portion makes up at the most 75% of the total hook area.

5 . The wearable absorbent article of claim 1 , wherein the fastening material is adhesive.

6 . The wearable absorbent article of claim 1 , wherein the at least one second strip of fastening material has a width that is larger than a width of the at least one third strip of fastening material.

7 . The wearable absorbent article of claim 1 , wherein a length of the at least one first strip of fastening material is equal to a length of the at least one second strip of fastening material.

8 . The wearable absorbent article of claim 1 , wherein a length of the at least one first strip of fastening material is greater than a length of the at least one third strip of fastening material.

9 . The wearable absorbent article of claim 1 , wherein the at least one third strip of fastening material comprises at least two third strips of fastening material.

10 . The wearable absorbent article of claim 1 , wherein the wearable absorbent article is a pull-up diaper.

11 . The wearable absorbent article of claim 2 , wherein the first portion of the tab portion comprises a backing, and a thickness of the backing is up to 75% of a height of the hooks.

12 . The wearable absorbent article of claim 1 , wherein each of the first and second fasteners has a shear strength of 8.50 kg-force to 11.00 kg-force.
