Provided are a wearing article and a method for manufacturing the same with which it is possible to form a concave shape in a portion positioned on the ventral side without forming a convex shape or a concave shape on the peripheral edge of the portion positioned on the dorsal side, and improve wearing comfort and appearance.
The present invention is provided with: (a) a girth member (12) having side edges (12a, 12b); (b) an absorbent body (14) in which a cutout part (14p) is formed in the intermediate portion of one end edge thereof (14a), the absorbent body (14) being joined to the girth member (12) so that the other end edge (14b) overlaps with the girth member (12) and the intermediate portion between the end edges (14a, 14b) overlaps with one of the side edges (12a) of the girth member (12); and (c) fastening members (16a, 16b, 16c) enabling the end parts (12m, 12n) of the girth member (12) to repeatedly fasten to and separate from a portion of the absorbent body (14) adjacent to the one end edge (14a). A portion (12c) of the girth member (12) adjacent to the other side edge (12b) is folded back so as to cover the other end edge (14b) of the absorbent body (14).
