The present invention aims to provide a disposable wearing article improved so that tape fasteners attached to the article can be reliably protected against falling off from the article.A disposable wearing article (1) has its outer surface formed from a nonwoven fabric of thermoplastic synthetic fibers. A tape strip (50) constituting each of the tape fasteners (16) is folded in Z- or inverted Z-shape and attached in such folded state to the outer surface of the wearing article (1) by means of first adhesive (61). As for a spot at which the tape strip (50) is attached to the outer surface of the wearing article (1), the nonwoven fabric at least partially presents a film-like outer surface.
