PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a disposable diaper further reducing stimulation to skins around leg-encircling parts of a wearer while surely preventing the leakage of excretory substances.SOLUTION: A disposable diaper 10 is provided with sheet-shaped leg-encircling expanding/contracting sections 100 that extend in the product lengthwise direction L at a region to which leg-encircling indentations 35 is formed, and has portions that can expand/contract along at least the product lengthwise direction L. The end in the product widthwise direction W of the leg-encircling expanding/contracting section 100 have a meandering shape in the product lengthwise direction L the distance between a center line CL and the ends in the product widthwise direction W of the leg-encircling expanding/contracting sections 100 changes as it goes from a front waist-encircling section 20 towards a back waist-encircling section 30 and there are provided a plurality of inflection points at which the amount of change in distance shifts from increasing to decreasing, and a plurality of inflection points at which the amount of change in distance shifts from decreasing to increasing.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】排泄物の漏れを確実に防止しつつ、着用者の脚回り部周辺の肌への刺激をさらに低減した使い捨ておむつを提供する。【解決手段】使い捨ておむつ10は、脚回り凹部35が形成される領域において製品長手方向Lに延在するとともに、少なくとも製品長手方向Lに沿って一部が伸縮可能なシート状の脚回り伸縮部100を備える。脚回り伸縮部100の製品幅方向Wにおける端縁は、製品長手方向Lにおいて蛇行状であり、脚回り伸縮部100の製品幅方向Wにおける端縁と、中心線CLとの距離は、前胴回り部20から後胴回り部30に向かうに連れて変化し、距離の変化量が増加から減少に転じる変曲点の数、距離の変化量が減少から増加に転じる変曲点の数は、それぞれ複数設けられる。【選択図】図1
