To prevent deterioration of a pleats' appearance in an expansion direction using porous non-woven fabric.SOLUTION: An expansion structure of a disposable wearing article has many thin and long elastic members 19 which are arranged between outside non-woven fabric layer 12S and inside non-woven fabric layer 12H at intervals in the direction orthogonal to an expansion direction ED that expand along the expansion direction ED. The outside non-woven fabric layer 12S is porous non-woven fabric where holes 14 penetrating in the thickness direction are arranged. A sheet joint part joining the outside non-woven fabric layer 12S and the inside non-woven fabric layer 12H is formed by hot-melt adhesives 14H applied in a stripe pattern at intervals in the expansion direction ED and continuing in the orthogonal direction XD. Adjacent sheet joint parts 70 are non-joint parts 71; difference in gap between columns 91, 92 of holes positioned nearest the sheet joint parts 70 and gaps 91d, 92d from the sheet joint parts 70 adjacent to the same on both sides in the expansion direction ED of the respective non-joint parts 71 is equal to or smaller than 14w dimension in the expansion direction of the holes 14.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 17【課題】有孔不織布を用いた伸縮構造において、襞の外観の悪化を防止する。【解決手段】上記課題は、外側不織布層12S及び内側不織布層12Hの間に伸縮方向EDと直交する直交方向XDに間隔を空けて配置された、伸縮方向EDに沿って延びる複数本の細長状の弾性部材19を有し、外側不織布層12Sは、厚み方向に貫通する孔14が配列された有孔不織布であり、外側不織布層12S及び内側不織布層12Hを接合するシート接合部が、伸縮方向EDに間隔を空けて、かつ直交方向XDに連続する縞状パターンで塗布されたホットメルト接着剤14Hにより形成され、隣接するシート接合部70の間は非接合部71となり、各非接合部71の伸縮方向EDの両側における、最もシート接合部70寄りに位置する孔の列91,92とこれに隣接するシート接合部70との間隔91d,92dの差が、孔14の伸縮方向の寸法14W以下であることにより解決される。【選択図】図17
