Abstract:
1. A disposable absorbent wearing article having a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction orthogonal to said longitudinal direction, comprising an absorbent structure including a liquid-pervious topsheet, a liquid-impervious backsheet, a liquid-absorbent core disposed therebetween and a pair of side flaps extending outward from transversely opposite side edges of said core, a plurality of elastic members associated with leg-holes being placed on cutouts formed in said side flaps to surround the thighs of a wearer, said disposable absorbent wearing article further comprising: said plurality of elastic members associated with leg-holes being converged substantially into respective single bundles along first elastic zones each extending over a given length of said crotch region in said longitudinal direction of said article and being spaced one from another along second and third elastic zones extending from said first elastic zone along respective side edges of said front and rear waist regions over a given length; and said elastic members associated with the leg-holes having a tensile stress not higher in said first elastic zone than in said second and third elastic zones and said first, second and third elastic zones of said elastic members associated with the leg-holes are contiguous one to another.
