To provide a wearing article with an excretion receiving area which has liquid absorption properties and can form an excretion receiving space of relatively sufficient dimensions without impairing wearing feeling.SOLUTION: An absorber 25 of a wearing article 10 includes an excretion receiving area 50 which is in the form of an island and has liquid absorption properties and a liquid-absorbing peripheral area 51 located to enclose the excretion receiving area 50. After the absorber 25 absorbs a body fluid, a thickness dimension D1 of the excretion receiving area 50 is smaller than a thickness dimension D2, D3 of the peripheral area. A difference in the thickness dimension between the excretion receiving area 50 and the peripheral area 51 after the absorber 25 absorbs the body fluid is greater than a difference in the thickness dimension between the excretion receiving area 50 and the peripheral area 51 before the absorber 25 absorbs the body fluid.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5【課題】吸液性を有するとともに、着用感を損ねることなく、比較的に十分な大きさの排泄物受容スペースを形成することのできる排泄物受容域を備えた着用物品の提供。【解決手段】着用物品10の吸収体25は、島状であって吸液性を有する排泄物受容域50と、排泄物受容域50を囲むように位置する吸液性の周辺域51とを有する。吸収体25の体液の吸収後において、排泄物受容域50の厚さ寸法D1が周辺域の厚さ寸法D2,D3よりも小さくなっている。吸収体25の体液の吸収後における排泄物受容域50と周辺域51との厚さ寸法の差が、吸収体25の体液の吸収前における排泄物受容域50と周辺域51との厚さ寸法の差よりも大きくなっている。【選択図】図5
