Claim Text:
1. A disposable wearing article having a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction being orthogonal to the longitudinal direction, said wearing article comprising: a skin-facing surface; a non-skin-facing surface; a front waist region; a rear waist region; a crotch region extending between the front and rear waist regions; an annular elastic waist panel defining the front and rear waist regions; a crotch panel defining the crotch region; and an absorbent structure joined to the elastic waist panel, wherein: the front waist region includes the rear waist region includes the crotch panel includes a dimension in the transverse direction of the second middle inelastic zone is larger than a dimension in the transverse direction of the first middle inelastic zone, a dimension in the transverse direction of first intersection zones in which the respective first side elastic zones and the respective leg elastics intersect with each other is larger than a dimension in the transverse direction of second intersection zones in which the respective second side elastic zones and the respective leg elastics intersect with each other, the leg elastic sheets are attached to the base sheet of the crotch panel so as to be formed with gathers extending in the transverse direction, an effective elongation dimension of the leg elastic sheets at a maximum elongation point is larger than a distance dimension in the longitudinal direction from the inner end edge of the front waist region to the inner end edge of the rear waist region, the absorbent structure is provided on opposite lateral portions thereof with a pair of liquid-impermeable barrier sheets each including a dimension in the transverse direction of the respective barrier sheets in a rising state under contraction of the cuff elastics is smaller than a dimension in the transverse direction from lateral edges of the absorbent structure to outer lateral edges of the leg elastic sheets.
