Abstract
A disposable undergarment includes first, second and third elastic members. The first elastic members have first both side portions extending in a longitudinal direction and a first middle portion extending across a crotch region. A second elastic member has second both side portions and a middle portion extending across the crotch region. The third elastic members have first connecting portions merged into the first both side portions and second connecting portions extending to be merged into the second both side portions. By such an arrangement, tensile stress of the third elastic member can be adequately utilized to keep the undergarment in tight contact with the wearer's thigh.
