PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a disposable diaper in which a joint part between a side panel and an absorptive body or the vicinity thereof or the side panel is unlikely to be split or teared.SOLUTION: A diaper 1A includes the absorptive body 2 and the side panel 3. At both side portions 2s of a back side part B of the absorptive body 2, the diaper 1A has a notch part 6 outward in a Y direction rather than positions of the side panel 3, and a lower end edge 6a of the notch part 6 and an upper end edge 3a of the side panel 3 are matched. A skin-side sheet 31 of the side panel 3 is joined through an adhesive layer 51 for skin-side panel connection to a sheet 24 for standing gather formation, and a non-skin-side sheet 32 is joined through an adhesive layer 52 for non-skin-side panel connection to a rear sheet 22. Inside of the side panel 3, the sheet 24 for standing gather formation is joined through an adhesive layer 53 for skin-side body connection to a front sheet 21, and the rear sheet 22 is joined through an adhesive layer 54 for non-skin-side body connection to the front sheet 21.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】サイドパネルと吸収性本体の接合部やその近傍、或いはサイドパネルに、裂けや破れが生じ難い使い捨ておむつを提供すること。【解決手段】本発明のおむつ1Aは吸収性本体2とサイドパネル3とを備えている。おむつ1Aは、吸収性本体2の背側部Bの両側部2sに、サイドパネル3の位置よりもY方向外方側に切り欠き部6を有し、切り欠き部6の下端縁6aとサイドパネル3の上端縁3aとは一致している。サイドパネル3の肌側シート31が肌側パネル接続用接着剤層51を介して立体ギャザー形成用シート24に、非肌側シート32が非肌側パネル接続用接着剤層52を介して裏面シート22に接合されている。サイドパネル3よりも内方において、立体ギャザー形成用シート24は肌側本体接続用接着剤層53を介して表面シート21に、裏面シート21は非肌側本体接続用接着剤層54を介して表面シート21に接合されている。【選択図】図3
