PROVIDED IS A WEARING ARTICLE IMPROVED TO PREVENT THE LIQUID- ABSORBENT STRUCTURE (41) INCLUSIVE OF AN ABSORBENT CORE IN THE FRONT AND REAR WAIST REGIONS (112,12) AND THE WEARER’S BODY FROM BEING SPACES FROM ONE ANOTHER AND FORMING VOID SPACES BETWEEN THEM WHICH MIGHT CAUSE A LEAKAGE OF BODY WASTE SUCH AS URINE. A DIAPER (10) INCLUDES A FRONT WAIST MEMBER (20), A REAR WAIST MEMBER (30) AND A CROTCH MEMBER (40). ALIQUID- ABSORBENT STRUCTURE ATTACHED TO THE CROTCH MEMBER HAS ITS OUTER SURFACE COVERED WITH AN OUTER SHEET (44) ADAPTED TO FROM GASKET CUFFS (50) AND LEAKAGE-BARRIER CUFFS (60). BETWEEN A PROXIMAL EDGE (62) AND A DISTAL EDGE (63) OF EACH LEAKAGE-BARRIER CUFF, AN IMAGINARY FOLDING (65) EXTENDING IN A LONGITUDINAL DIRECTION Y IS DEFINED SO THAT THE LEAKAGE-BARRIER CUFF MAY BE FOLDED ALONG THE IMAGINARY FOLDING LINE WITH ELASTIC (64) ASSOCIATED THE LEAKAGE-BARRIER CUFF UNDER NO TENSION. THE LEAKAGE-BARRIER CUFF IS BONDED, IN REGIONS OVERLAPPING FRONT AND REAR SECTIONS (45, 46) OF LIQUID-ABSORBENT STRUCTURE , TO AN INNER SHEET BY BONDING MEANS SUCH AS ADHESIVE TO FROM FRONT AND REAR BOND REGIONS (66, 67) EXTENDING IN THE LONGITUDINAL DIRECTION Y.
