Abstract: A disposable pull-on diaper includes a topsheet, a backsheet and an absorbent core disposed therebetween. In any one of front and rear waist regions of the diaper, second elastic members are disposed between the core and the backsheet to extend under tension circumferentially of the waist region and secured to the inner surface of the backsheet only at their portions extending outward beyond transversely opposite side edges.

Abstract: There is disclosed a disposable diaper having a body including a front face portion to be applied to the abdomen of a wearer; an intermediate portion to be applied to the crotch; and a back face portion to be applied to the back, in which a longitudinal direction is taken from the front face portion to the back face portion of the body, and a transverse direction is taken in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The diaper includes a top sheet to be directed toward a liquid receiving side; an outer sheet; and an absorbent core sandwiched between the top sheet and the outer sheet. The top sheet is liquid-permeable at least in a portion for covering a transverse center of the absorbent core and is jointed on two transverse sides directly or indirectly to the outer sheet.

Abstract: A disposable diaper includes a topsheet, a backsheet and an absorbent core therebetween. The backsheet is made of an air-permeable but liquid-impermeable plastic film having a surface thereof whitened by fine particles of an inorganic substance contained therein. An indicator 18 provided between the backsheet and the absorbent core. The indicator includes a layer of printed ink adapted to be visually revealed when it is wetted with discharged urine and a masking region disposed between the layer of printing ink and the backsheet so as to cover the layer of printed ink, and the masking region contains a surfactant.
