The disposable garment has a longitudinal direction and a lateral direction and includes a front waist region, a back waist region, a crotch region that connects the front waist region and the back waist region, two longitudinal side edges and two lateral waist edges. The disposable garment further comprises an outer layer, which has an inner surface and an outer surface. An elastic inner layer has an inner surface, an outer surface and an elastic inner layer perimeter. The elastic inner layer defines an opening, which is a slit or aperture through the elastic inner layer. The elastic inner layer perimeter is bonded to the outer layer. The outer surface of the outer layer in the front waist region includes a fastener located laterally inward of each longitudinal side edge. The fastener is adapted to engage directly into the elastic inner layer in the back waist region and the inner surface of the elastic inner layer in the back waist region includes a fastener located laterally inward of each longitudinal side edge. The fastener is adapted to engage directly into the outer surface of the outer layer in the front waist region.
