An absorbent sanitary product (10) wearable as a pant-like garment includes a central body (12) including an absorbent portion (14) defining a crotch portion of the product (10) and two side panels (16) extending laterally from the opposite ends the central body (12) to define respective portions of the waist line of the product (10) so that a pair of complementary side panels is provided at each side of the central body. Each side panel (16) has a distal edge (16a) connected to a distal edge (16a) of the complementary side panel (16) via a refastenable hook-and-loop closure (18) including complementary hook (18a) and loop (18b) elements. In each pair of complementary side panels (16) one panel carries at its surface facing inwardly of the product (10) either of the hook (18a) and loop (18b) elements of the hook-and-loop closure (18). The other panel has its distal edge (16a) folded over itself inwardly of the product (10) to form an end loop portion (16c) and a marginal rim (16d) sandwiched between the two complementary side panels (16. The marginal rim (16d) carries at its surface facing toward the other panel (16) the other (18b resp. 18a) of the complementary elements (18a； 18b) of the hook-and-loop closure.
