Abstract

A fastening system wherein complementary components each have engaging elements protruding from a backing, and an attractive magnetic force applied through the complementary components. The attractive magnetic force can be supplied by external magnets attached to the backings, or by using a magnetic composite to form the backings and/or the engaging elements. The fastening system is particularly beneficial when used in absorbent articles.
