Claim:
A disposable wearing article comprising: a longitudinal direction; a transverse direction; a flexible chassis having a front waist region, a rear waist region and a crotch region extending along the longitudinal direction between said front and rear waist regions; said chassis having an outermost layer, an innermost layer, a backsheet defining said outermost layer and a liner defining said innermost layer; a semi-rigid absorbent panel laid on an inner surface of said outermost layer; said liner being fixed to said absorbent panel in a fixed zone which is defined substantially in a middle region of said crotch region as viewed in said transverse direction and extends in said transverse direction; a passage formed through said liner at an area rearwardly of said fixed zone to guide feces therethrough; a first stretchable and contractible elastic member extending along a peripheral edge of said passage; and a second stretchable and contractible elastic member and a third stretchable and contractible elastic member which are paired and laid outside opposite side edges of said passage in said longitudinal direction in a vicinity of said passage; wherein said second and third elastic members have end portions that are not coextensive with the first elastic member; whereby said liner is lifted off from said absorbent panel in said area so as to form a barrier rising up in the transverse direction along said fixed zone as said second and third elastic members contract, wherein said fixed zone is elongated in the transverse direction without reaching transversely opposite edges of the crotch region of the chassis.
