Provided is a disposable clothing article, the non-skin-facing surface of which feels good to the touch and the cost therefor is reduced. The diaper (1) comprises: an inner surface sheet (20) an outer surface sheet (30) a liquid-absorbing absorbent (40) disposed between the inner and outer surface sheets (20, 30) and an anti-leak sheet (50) disposed between the absorbent (40) and the outer surface sheet (30). A pair of containment sheets (60) that are separated from each other in the transverse direction (X) is disposed on the skin-facing surface of the inner surface sheet (20). The outer surface sheet (30) has a central region (34) and two side regions (35) disposed on the outside of the central region (34) in the transverse direction (X). The central region (34) and the two side regions (35) all extend continuously between the front and back edges (31, 32) in the longitudinal direction (Y) without division. Multiple recesses (37), which line up at a distance from each other in the longitudinal direction (Y) and the transverse direction (X), are formed in the central region (34).
