A prefastened refastenable pant and methods and apparatus for preparing the same are provided. The pant comprises a chassis having a leading and trailing edge and first and second lateral edges wherein the chassis is folded over along a transverse fold line orthogonal to the first and second lateral edges of the chassis. A pair of first side panels may be attached to the chassis proximal one of the leading and trailing edge of the chassis each comprising a first fastening component. A pair of second side panels may be attached to the chassis proximal another of the leading and trailing edge of the chassis each comprising a second fastening component. Each of the pair of first side panels is detachably secured to the chassis and the first fastening components and second fastening components are refastenably engaged between the first and second lateral edges of the chassis.
