Disposable nappy

The invention relates to a disposable diaper ( 2 ) comprising a hip belt ( 6 ) creating a hip opening that is closed in the peripheral direction in addition to a main part of the diaper consisting of a front region ( 14 ), a rear region ( 10 ) and an interlying intermediate region ( 12 ). The main part ( 8 ) of the diaper can be detachably attached to the hip belt ( 6 ) at longitudinal ends of the front region ( 14 ) or the rear region ( 10 ) thereof, by means of a closing means ( 18 ), in such a way that, when the hip belt ( 6 ) is applied, a user reaches for the main part of the diaper ( 8 ) between the legs, and the free longitudinal end of the main part of the diaper ( 8 ) can be detachably fixed to the hip belt ( 6 ). The inventive diaper is embodied in such a way that, starting from a longitudinal end region ( 16 ) of the main part ( 8 ) of the diaper, two expected fracture lines ( 20 ) or separating cuts are provided in the main part ( 8 ) of the diaper, extending in the direction of the intermediate region ( 12 ), such that a central section ( 22 ) of the main part ( 18 ), arranged between the expected fracture lines ( 20 ) or separating cuts can be flapped or folded away from the hip belt ( 6 ) along said expected fracture lines 820 ) or separating cuts, and can be detachably reconnected to the hip belt ( 6 ) and/or adjacent regions ( 26 ) of the main part of the diaper ( 8 ), by means of a second closing means ( 24 ), in order to reclose the diaper.
