A method for manufacturing a disposable worn article comprising the steps of: carrying a continuous sheet that is continuous in a carrying direction; placing a plurality of continuous elastic members, which are continuous in the carrying direction of the continuous sheet, on the continuous sheet with each of the continuous elastic members stretched; placing a plurality of discontinuous sheets, each of which has a predetermined length, on the continuous sheet intermittently and successively in the carrying direction so that the continuous elastic members are sandwiched between the discontinuous sheets and the continuous sheet (Wl); and carrying out a first joining step in which, in an area where each of the discontinuous sheets is placed, the continuous sheet, each of the discontinuous sheets, and the continuous elastic members are joined to one another, intermittently in the carrying direction, along a plurality of first joining portions (32A, 32C) extending in a width direction crossing the carrying direction, characterized in that, in the first joining step, the first joining portions (32A, 32C) are formed in opposite end portions (32A, 32A) of each of the discontinuous sheets in the carrying direction and in a central portion of each of the discontinuous sheets, the central portion being spaced apart from the opposite end portions (32A, 32A) and between the opposite end portions (32A, 32A); the manufacturing method further comprising the step of carrying out a second joining step in which, between the plurality of first joining portions (32A, 32C) in the area, the continuous sheet and each of the discontinuous sheets are intermittently joined to each other, along a stretching direction of the elastic members, on a plurality of second joining portions; and the second joining step is carried out so that the plurality of second joining portions are formed between two continuous elastic members, adjacent to each other in the width direction, of the continuous elastic members. carrying a continuous sheet that is continuous in a carrying direction; placing a plurality of continuous elastic members, which are continuous in the carrying direction of the continuous sheet, on the continuous sheet with each of the continuous elastic members stretched; placing a plurality of discontinuous sheets, each of which has a predetermined length, on the continuous sheet intermittently and successively in the carrying direction so that the continuous elastic members are sandwiched between the discontinuous sheets and the continuous sheet (Wl); and carrying out a first joining step in which, in an area where each of the discontinuous sheets is placed, the continuous sheet, each of the discontinuous sheets, and the continuous elastic members are joined to one another, intermittently in the carrying direction, along a plurality of first joining portions (32A, 32C) extending in a width direction crossing the carrying direction, characterized in that, in the first joining step, the first joining portions (32A, 32C) are formed in opposite end portions (32A, 32A) of each of the discontinuous sheets in the carrying direction and in a central portion of each of the discontinuous sheets, the central portion being spaced apart from the opposite end portions (32A, 32A) and between the opposite end portions (32A, 32A); the manufacturing method further comprising the step of carrying out a second joining step in which, between the plurality of first joining portions (32A, 32C) in the area, the continuous sheet and each of the discontinuous sheets are intermittently joined to each other, along a stretching direction of the elastic members, on a plurality of second joining portions; and the second joining step is carried out so that the plurality of second joining portions are formed between two continuous elastic members, adjacent to each other in the width direction, of the continuous elastic members.
