The present invention provides a wearing article improved so as to prevent bodily fluids from staying in the proximal side edges of the cuffs and thereby to restrict development of skin troubles such as diaper rashes due to such staying bodily fluids. A chassis 20 of a diaper 10 includes an inner sheet 21 lying on a side facing the wearers body and an outer sheet 22 lying on a side facing away from the wearers body wherein a liguid-absorbent structure 40 is sandwiched between these inner and outer sheet 21, 22. The liquid-absorbent structure 40 is formed with highly absorbent regions having a higher bodily fluid absorption capacity than that of a remaining region. The highly absorbent regions include front regions 43 lying on the side of a front end 14 and rear regions 44 lying on the side of a rear end 15. The highly absorbent regions are formed by increasing a thickness of a liquid-absorbent core 41. Leakage- barrier cuffs 30 are formed on the side of the inner sheet 21 facing the wearers body. Proximal side edges 31 of the leakage-barrier cuffs 30 are bonded to the inner sheet 21 by bonding means 34 which partially overlap the front and rear regions 43, 44 of the liquid-absorbent structure 40.
