An object of the present invention is to provide a disposable wearing article (10) having improved bulkiness as well as flexibility of the outer sheet (30, 31), by using crimped fiber (63) as a material for the outer sheet and bonds the inner and outer sheets by adhesive (35) to provide the article with a good texture and a good appearance. A first waist region (13) as a whole or in its part lying ln a vicinity of a waist-opening (24) is elasticized and formed of an inner sheet (32, 33), defining the skin-facing side and an outer sheet defining the non-skin-facing side wherein the non-skin-facing side of the outer sheet is formed substantially over its entire area with a plurality of thermocompression-bonded spots (20) regularly and intermittently arranged at predetermined intervals. The outer sheet has non-thermocompressed regions (64) surrounded by a plurality of thermocompression-bonded spots. A fibrous layer lying at least on the outer surface of said outer sheet is formed of thermal adhesive crimped fibers which are bonded together by thermocompression-bonding treatment in the thermocompression-bonded spots. The outer sheel and the inner sheet are bonded to each other by adhesive applied on at least one of respective opposite surfaces thereof so that the crimped fibers in the non-thermocompressed regions may protrude outward in a thickness direction of the outer sheet as the inner sheet contracts in the direction of the transverse axis Q.
