The absorbent article further comprises a pair of first flaps (24) joined to the main body portion and extending laterally outward beyond the longitudinal side edges of the main body portion, and a pair of second flaps (25) joined to the main body portion apart from the first flaps in the longitudinal direction and extending laterally outward beyond the longitudinal side edges of the main body portion. The garment surface of each of the first and second flaps comprises a first flap fastener (76) and a second flap fastener (77) respectively. The first and second flaps are folded over the body surface of the main body portion to expose the flap fasteners. A wrapper (78) comprises a main wrapper sheet (80) and a flap fastener cover (8). The flap fastener cover comprises a pair of longitudinal side portions, a pair of end portions, a releasable surface facing the flap fasteners of the first and second flaps, an opposing surface, a first portion, and a second portion, wherein a majority of the first portion extends in the first region and a majority of the second portion extends in the second region when the absorbent article is folded at the transverse axes.
