A disposable diaper has a covering member adapted to cover a wearer's crotch and waist regions. The covering member includes an elastically stretchable first layer and an inelastically stretchable second layer formed with a plurality of continuous fibers. The continuous fibers are fixed to the first layer in at least two bonding zones. The covering member presents a particularly large value of L/D, a ratio of a length L of each continuous fiber and a distance D in straight line between each pair of the adjacent bonding zones.

What is claimed is: 1. A disposable diaper comprising;an elastically stretchable covering member for covering a diaper wearer's crotch and waist regions;a liquid-pervious sheet having a skin contactable surface for contacting with skin of said diaper wearer;a liquid-absorbent core member sandwiched between said liquid-pervious sheet and said covering member;discrete elastic members provided along transverse side edges of said diaper to extend circumferentially along leg-openings that are defined when the diaper is put on the diaper wearer;said covering member consisting of an elastically stretchable first layer and an inelastically stretchable second layer formed of a plurality of continuous fibers, and said continuous fibers being fixed to said elastically stretchable first layer in bonding zones spaced apart from each other so that a ratio of L1/D1 where L1 is a length of said continuous fibers extending between a first pair of said bonding zones in a centrally located first zone on said covering member and D1 is a distance in a straight line between said first pair of bonding zones in said first zone of said covering member is larger than a ratio of L2/D2, where L2 is a length of said continuous fibers extending between a second pair of said bonding zones in a second zone on said covering member and D2 is a distance in a straight line between said second pair of bonding zones in said second zone of said covering member, whereby said covering member is more easily stretched in a direction away from the skin contactable surface in said first zone than in said second zone of said covering member, and said first zone being adjacent said liquid-absorbent core member and at least substantially coextensive with said liquid-absorbent core member, so that pressure exerted on said covering member by said liquid-absorbent core member will stretch the first zone in said direction of the skin contactable surface without exerting any pressure on said discrete elastic memberswherein said continuous fibers of said inelastically stretchable second payer are fixed to said elastically stretchable first layer in bonding zones while said elastically stretchable first layer is in an unstretched state.
