The purpose of the present invention is to provide a disposable article that suppresses leakage and has a superior feeling of fit. A disposable article of the present invention is provided with: an absorbent (14) having an absorbent core (22) that absorbs a body fluid, a surface material (15) that covers the absorbent core (22), and a rear surface sheet (31) that covers the absorbent core (22) on the opposite side of the surface material (15); and an exterior body (11) that can be joined to the absorbent (14). The surface material (15) has a first sheet material having air permeability, and a first elastic member (5) that is joined to the first sheet material in a first direction so that the surface material (15) has elasticity in the first direction, and a first pleated section (60) is formed in which a plurality of recesses and projections alternately aligned in the first direction are formed in a plurality of rows in a direction orthogonal to the first direction, and the recesses and projections that form the first pleated section (60) are formed to allow shape deformation in response to a stretching force of the first elastic member. The exterior body has a second sheet material having air permeability, and a second elastic member that is joined to the second sheet material in a selected direction so that the exterior body has elasticity in the selected direction which is selected from among the first direction and a second direction different from the first direction, and a second pleated section is formed in which a plurality of recesses and projections alternately aligned in the selected direction are formed in a plurality of rows in a direction orthogonal to the selected direction, and the recesses and projections that form the second pleated section are formed to allow shape deformation in response to a stretching force of the second elastic member joined to the second sheet material.L'invention a pour objet de fournir un article jetable inhibant les fuites
