Abstract: A wearing article (1) of the invention has edge sections (leg edge sections and waist edge section) configured including sheets. On the sheets in the edge sections, elastic members (6, 7, 8) are disposed in their stretched state along the edge sections. Draw-processed sections (P1, P2) are formed by performing draw processing, in the stretching direction of the elastic members (6, 7, 8), on the disposition sections of the sheets where the elastic members (6, 7, 8) have been disposed. Furthermore, a draw-processed section (P3) is formed by performing draw processing, in the stretching direction of an elastic member (5), on the disposition section of a band-shaped sheet (15), which configures three-dimensional gathers (18), where the elastic member (5) has been disposed.

Abstract: An absorbent article which is provided with a liquid permeable surface sheet (2), a liquid impermeable leakage-prevention sheet (3) and a liquid-retaining absorbent (4) interposed between the sheets, is formed substantially oblong, and is provided on the longitudinal opposite sides thereof with a pair of right and left, elastic member-carrying three-dimensional guards (5), (5), wherein the guards (5) each has a skin-contacting surface portion (5A) formed by folding back a side on the free end (53) toward the outer side of the diaper, and elastic members in a stretched condition are respectively disposed and fixed to the skin-contacting surface portion (5A) and to the approximately widthwise central portion of a raised portion (5B) between the skin-contacting surface portion (5A) and the base end (52) of a three-dimensional guard body.
