A wearing article improved so that an absorbent structure is not apt to be spaced away from the wearers skin but stuffiness in the wearing article and/or eruption of the wearers skin can be reliably prevented, which wearing article is a diaper that includes a front waist panel, a rear waist panel and a crotch panel. In the front and rear waist panels, elastics are respectively attached to front and rear waist sheets. The crotch panel includes an absorbent structure containing liquid-absorbent core material and, outboard of the absorbent structure as viewed in a longitudinal direction, front and rear end flaps are formed respectively. The crotch panel includes a first region which includes a front end of the absorbent structure and the front end flap and overlaps with the front waist panel and a second region which includes a front end of the absorbent structure and the rear end flap and overlaps with the rear waist panel. The first and second regions extend in the longitudinal direction and are joined to respective skin-facing surfaces of the front and rear waist panels by means of first and second joining zones each including a plurality of sub-zones spaced apart from one another in a transverse direction.
