The present invention aims to provide a wearing article making it possible to prevent a dimension in the transverse direction of respective recesses formed on an absorbent structure from being notably reduced even when the front and rear waist regions are disposed with waist elastic members directly or indirectly overlapping with the absorbent structure. In a wearing article has a longitudinal direction (Y) parallel to a longitudinal center line (2-2), a transverse direction (X) parallel to a transverse center line (3-3), a skin-facing surface and a non-skin-facing surface opposite to the skin-facing surface, and includes a chassis (10) having a first waist region (11) defined by one of front and rear waist regions (11, 12) and being elastically contractible in the transverse direction (X), a second waist region (12) defined by another of the front and rear waist regions (11, 12) and a crotch region (13) lying between the front and rear waist regions (11, 12), an absorbent structure (40) disposed on the skin-facing surface of the chassis (10) and extending in the longitudinal direction (Y) across the crotch region (13) into at least the first waist region (11) and recesses (43) disposed on the absorbent structure (40), the absorbent structure (40) includes a first region (46) defined in the first waist region (11) and the recesses at least partially lying in the first region (46) and extending in the longitudinal direction (Y) and a shape retention panel (70) is disposed on the non-skin-facing surface of the first waist region (11) so that the shape retention panel (70) may indirectly or directly overlap the first region (46) and the recesses (43) as viewed in a thickness direction of the article.本發明之課題在提供一種,即使在前後腰域安裝有與吸收體重疊的彈性體的時候,也可防止吸收體的凹部的橫向的尺寸顯著變小的情況之用後即棄式穿著用物品。解決手段,紙尿褲(1)具有:本體(10)與被配置在其肌膚對向面的吸收體(40)。在本體(10),朝橫向(X)延伸的複數個彈性體(31)以及彈性體(32)以伸長狀態可收縮地被安裝。在吸收體(40)的芯材(41)設有貫穿其厚度方向朝縱向(Y)延伸的凹部(43)。凹部(43)具有:位在假想縱中心線(2-2)附近,從胯下域(13)朝縱向(Y)往前後腰域間(11、12)延伸的中央凹部(44);以及在中央凹部(44
