A diaper includes an absorbent body 3 and a water impermeable outermost layer 2 to which the absorbent body is fastened and which holds the absorbent body against the body of the user. The absorbent body comprises a liquid impermeable outer sheet (16, Fig. 3), a liquid permeable inner sheet (15) and an absorbent member (17) therebetween. The outermost layer 2 has front and rear portions whose edges (8, 9, Fig. 2) are connected together, e.g. by welding, so that it is in the form of a pair of briefs with a waist opening 11 and two leg openings 7. The outermost layer 2 carries at least one expansible elastic member 12, 13 around the waist opening and the leg openings which form gathers around those openings. The absorbent body 3 may be removably fastened to outermost layer 2, e.g. by peelable adhesive connections (A). <IMAGE> |
