THE PRESENT INVENTION PROVIDES A WEARING ARTICLE (10) IMPROVED TO FACILITATE WRINKLES CREATED IN A FRONT WAIST REGION (11) AS WELL AS IN A REAR WAIST REGION (12) TO BE SMOOTHED. A DIAPER (10) INCLUDES FRONT AND REAR WAIST MEMBERS (20, 30), A CROTCH MEMBER (40) BY THE INTERMEDIARY OF WHICH THESE FRONT AND REAR WAIST MEMBERS ARE CONNECTED. THE FRONT AND REAR WAIST MEMBES EXTEND FROM WAIST ENDS (22, 32) TOWARD THE SIDE OF A CROTCH REGION (13) AND RESPECTIVELY INCLUDE FIRST REGIONS (71) OVERLAPPING FRONT AND REAR END FLAPS (46, 47) OF THE ABSORBENT STRUCTURE (41) AND SECOND REGIONS (72) ADJACENT THE RESPECTIVE FIRST REGIONS. IN THE FRONT AND REAR WAIST MEMBERS, THE FIRST REGIONS AND THE SECOND REGIONS ARE PROVIDED WITH FIRST WAIST ELASTIC MEMBERS (81) AND SECOND WAIST ELASTIC MEMBERS (82) SO AS TO BE SANDWICHES BETWEEN THE RESPECTIVE TOP- AND BACKSHEETS (24, 25； 34, 35). THE RESPECTIVE SECOND REGIONS ARE FORMED WITH INELASTIC ZONES (72A) OVERLAPPING THE CORE (42) AND ELASTIC REGIONS (72) LYING ON BOTH SIDES OF THE INELASTIC REGIONS IN THE TRANSVERSE DIRECTION. THE TIGHTENING FORCE OF THE RESPECTIVE FIRST REGIONS IS SET TO BE LOWER THAN THE TIGHTENING FORCE OF THE RESPECTIVE SECOND REGIONS. FIGURE 2
