A pants-type wearing article includes front and rear waist regions connected to each other by fastener means in a detachable and refastenable manner. Each of the fastener means comprises a sheet-like supporting element adapted to be folded in a Z-shape or an inverted Z-shape as the front and rear waist regions are put flat together and a fastener element. The supporting element has a top section, a bottom section and an intermediate section connecting the top and bottom sections. Between opposed surfaces of the bottom section and the intermediate section, a sheet-like liner section is provided so as to extend from a bottom section's openable end of the bottom section along these opposed surfaces toward a top section's joint end. The top section is bonded to the intermediate section by a first bonding zone while the liner section is bonded to the bottom section and the intermediate section by a second bonding zone. In the supporting element, the first bonding zone and the second bonding zone overlap each other in a height direction of the Z-shape with interposition of the intermediate section.
