PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inexpensive wet detectable diaper system capable of easily detecting its wet state and being conveniently used at a general household, an institution for the aged and a nursing-care facility. SOLUTION: The diaper D formed by stacking a surface material, a moisture absorbing material, and a moisture impermeable film 3, is disposed with a plurality of conductive materials 4 extending from the front part (the belly side) to the rear part (the back side) of the diaper D at a predetermined interval apart to have a structure wherein a moisture dispersing layer 9 is disposed between the conductive material and the moisture absorbing material and, when the interval between the conductive materials 4, 4 is wet, detects the wet with a detector connected between the conductive materials 4, 4. This system is provided with the detector having a connecting terminal which clumps the surface material and the moisture impermeable film 3 and reaches the inner conductive material 4.
