Disposable pants-type wearing article

A disposable pants-type wearing article having a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction being orthogonal to each other, comprising:

• a front panel;
• a rear panel;
• and
• a intermediate panel, wherein
• the front panel and the rear panel are joined to each other along respective side edges opposed in the transverse direction to form a circumferentially continuous waist region;
• the intermediate panel is bent in a U-shape, and one of end regions of the intermediate panel is at least partially joined to the front panel on an outer surface of the waist region while a remainder of the end regions is at least partially joined to the rear panel on the outer surface of the waist region, wherein
• the front panel, the rear panel and the intermediate panel respectively have inner surfaces facing the wearer's skin and outer surfaces facing away from the wearer's skin;
• the intermediate panel includes lateral portions extending along both sides opposite in the transverse direction between the opposite end regions and a midsection defined between the opposite lateral portions wherein, at least between the opposite end regions, the lateral portions are folded onto the inner surface of the midsection with the inner surface lying inside and this inner surface is joined to itself with a first hot melt adhesive;
• the lateral portions of the intermediate panel are formed by overlapping and joining at least two sheet members each other with a second hot melt adhesive and a plurality of elastics are attached under tension in the longitudinal direction between the two sheet members;
• and
• zones of the two sheet members coated with the second hot melt adhesive comprise high density coated zones in which an application quantity per 1 m2 is relatively large and low density coated zones in which an application quantity per 1 m2 is relatively small wherein the high density coated zones are formed at least in part of the opposite end regions.
