A pant—includes front part, a back part and a crotch part, a waist portion and a pair of leg openings. The pant further includes a suspending member formed of elastic material and comprising zones of different elasticity. A first elastic zone having a relatively higher elongation is provided in a longitudinally extending central region of the crotch part, and a pair of second elastic zones having a relatively lower elongation extend along both sides of the first elastic zone at or close to the leg openings in the crotch part. The first and second elastic zones extend to the front part with the second elastic zones extending along both sides of the first zone.
