PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a disposable diaper, particularly an underpants-type diaper, which enables an absorbent pad to be replaced without requiring a wearer to take an unnatural posture.SOLUTION: The disposable diaper includes: a ventral part extended forward from a crotch part and a dorsal part extended backward from the crotch part. The ventral part and the dorsal part are integrated to each other beforehand or upon using so as to form an annular waist part in which a waist opening and a right and left pair of thigh openings are formed. In at least one of waist parts of the ventral part and the dorsal part, a first part positioned at the width-direction center part is made longitudinally slidable relative to second parts disposed on both side of the first part without separating from the second parts.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】本発明の主たる課題は、使い捨ておむつ、特にパンツ型おむつにおいて、着用者が無理な姿勢を取らずに吸収パッドの交換ができる使い捨ておむつを提供する。【解決手段】股間部より前側に延在する腹側部及び股間部より後側に延在する背側部を有し、腹側部と背側部とが環状の胴回り部をなすように予めまたは使用時に一体化されて、胴回り開口および左右一対の脚周り開口が形成される使い捨ておむつにおいて、前記腹側部及び背側部の少なくとも一方の胴回り部構成部分は、幅方向中央部に位置する第1の部分がその両側の第2の部分に対して分離せずに縦方向にスライド可能とする。【選択図】図8
