Further, one fastening means is attached to the ear portion of the disposable diaper while being inclined toward the back side end direction with respect to the lateral axis of the disposable diaper body, and the pulling force can be effectively applied to the waist and leg directions. A disposable diaper that is dispersed in the direction is disclosed, for example, in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 59-73305, but this technical means is such that the fastening means is provided in the ear portion of the disposable diaper on the lateral axis of the main body of the disposable diaper. In contrast to this, even if it is attached so as to be inclined toward the back end, the user is not required to pull the fastening means because the side edges of the ears are perpendicular to the lateral axis of the disposable diaper body. In order to pull the fastening means in the direction orthogonal to the side edge of the ear,
Even if one fastening means is attached to the side edge of the ear portion of the disposable diaper at an angle, the pulling force of one fastening means cannot be distributed around the waist and legs as preset.

The sheet 2 which constitutes the ear 6 in this manner
1, a stress relaxation area 20 is formed which can be stretched by a small tensile force. Since the peripheral portion of the stress relaxation area 20 of the sheet 21 forming the ear portion 6 is left unprocessed, it does not expand even if a tensile force is applied, or it expands more than the stress relaxation area 20. This is a difficult area. In addition, the stress relaxation area 20 formed in this way

However, even if the tensile force of the fastening means 7 acts on the stress relaxation area 20,
Since the stress relaxation area 20 can be expanded by a relatively small tensile force, and the peripheral portion of the stress relaxation area 20 is not expanded, the stress relaxation area 20 can be expanded to the limit as shown in FIG. Absent. Therefore, the stress relieving area 20 is provided with the fastening means 7 due to its extensibility.

Contrary to this, the ear attachment position of the fastening means 7 is such that the attachment area R of the fastening means 7 completely overlaps the second inclined side edge area b and only partially overlaps the first inclined side edge area a. In such a case, since the ratio of overlapping with the second inclined side edge region b is larger, a larger component force is distributed to the leg circumference component force participation area 41. In any of the above cases, it suffices that the overlapping ratios are different, and the attachment area R of the fastening means 7 is not always necessary.
