A cover nonwoven fabric is provided with a plurality of holes having intervals and penetrating a front and a back is interposed from at least a crotch side edge of an outer member overlapping the display sheet to a side of a waist opening between the display sheet and a liquid impervious sheet. An internal surface and an external surface of the cover nonwoven fabric are bonded to facing surfaces, respectively, through a hot melt adhesive. Compatibility between prevention of deterioration of appearance of the display sheet and prevention of a decrease in air permeability is achieved. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An underpants-type disposable diaper comprising: a front side outer member configuring at least a lower torso portion of a front body and a back side outer member configuring at least a lower torso portion of a back body, the front side outer member and the back side outer member being separated from each other and spaced apart in a front-back direction in a middle in the front-back direction; an inner member including a liquid pervious top sheet located on a front surface side, a liquid impervious sheet formed of a resin film located on a back surface side, and an absorbent body interposed therebetween, extending in the front-back direction from the front side outer member to the back side outer member and being joined to each of the front side outer member and the back side outer member, a waist opening and a pair of left and right leg openings being formed by joining both side portions of the front side outer member and both side portions of the back side outer member, respectively; and a display sheet formed of a resin film and being provided between at least one of the front side outer member and the back side outer member and the inner member, wherein a perforated nonwoven fabric provided with a plurality of holes having intervals and penetrating a front and a back is interposed at least from a crotch side edge of the at least one of the front side outer member and the back side outer member overlapping the display sheet, toward a side of the waist opening, to a region between the display sheet and the liquid impervious sheet, and wherein an internal surface and an external surface of the perforated nonwoven fabric are bonded to facing surfaces, respectively, through a hot melt adhesive; and wherein, in a bonding region on at least one of the internal and external surfaces of the perforated nonwoven fabric, the hot melt adhesive is not present inward of a peripheral portion of an area corresponding to each hole, and the hot melt adhesive is present in a continuous plane in and outwards of the peripheral portion of the area corresponding to each hole. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The underpants-type disposable diaper according to claim 1, wherein the perforated nonwoven fabric is a cover nonwoven fabric which extends from a region between the front side outer member and the inner member to a region between the back side outer member and the inner member, and covers a back surface of the inner member in a site in which the front side outer member and the back side outer member are spaced apart. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The underpants-type disposable diaper according to claim 2, further comprising side gathers extending from both side portions of the inner member to come into contact with peripheries of legs of a wearer, wherein each of the side gathers has a base at a side portion of the inner member on a back surface side of the liquid impervious sheet and has a gather nonwoven fabric forming an external surface at least from the base to a tip, and the perforated nonwoven fabric extends from a region between a base portion of at least one of the side gathers and the liquid impervious sheet to a region between a base portion of the other one of the side gathers and the liquid impervious sheet. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The underpants-type disposable diaper according to claim 1, wherein an inner and outer joined portion that joins the inner member and the at least one of the front side outer member and the back side outer member overlapping the perforated nonwoven fabric is provided over a region overlapping the perforated nonwoven fabric and a region on both width-direction sides beyond the overlapping region. ### Claim 5 An underpants-type disposable diaper comprising: a front side outer member configuring at least a lower torso portion of a front body and a back side outer member configuring at least a lower torso portion of a back body, the front side outer member and the back side outer member being separated from each other and spaced apart in a front-back direction in a middle in the front-back direction; an inner member including a liquid pervious top sheet located on a front surface side, a liquid impervious sheet formed of a resin film located on a back surface side, and an absorbent body interposed therebetween, extending in the front-back direction from the front side outer member to the back side outer member and being joined to each of the front side outer member and the back side outer member, a waist opening and a pair of left and right leg openings being formed by joining both side portions of the front side outer member and both side portions of the back side outer member, respectively; and a display sheet formed of a resin film and being provided between at least one of the front side outer member and the back side outer member and the inner member; wherein a perforated nonwoven fabric provided with a plurality of holes having intervals and penetrating a front and a back is interposed at least from a crotch side edge of the at least one of the front side outer member and the back side outer member overlapping the display sheet, toward a side of the waist opening, to a region between the display sheet and the liquid impervious sheet; wherein an internal surface and an external surface of the perforated nonwoven fabric are bonded to facing surfaces, respectively, through a hot melt adhesive; wherein an area around each hole in the perforated nonwoven fabric is warped toward the liquid impervious sheet to form a warped portion; wherein at least a tip portion of the warped portion in the perforated nonwoven fabric has a bonded portion stuck to a facing surface on the side of the liquid impervious sheet through the hot melt adhesive; and wherein a portion other than the bonded portion in the perforated nonwoven fabric is not bonded to the facing surface on the side of the liquid impervious sheet. ### Claim 6 (depends on 2) The underpants-type disposable diaper according to claim 2, wherein an inner and outer joined portion that joins the inner member and the outer member overlapping the perforated nonwoven fabric is provided over a region overlapping the perforated nonwoven fabric and a region on both width-direction sides beyond the overlapping region. ### Claim 7 (depends on 3) The underpants-type disposable diaper according to claim 3, wherein an inner and outer joined portion that joins the inner member and the outer member overlapping the perforated nonwoven fabric is provided over a region overlapping the perforated nonwoven fabric and a region on both width-direction sides beyond the overlapping region.
