A reusable absorbent diaper type structure comprising: an outer support element, with tightening areas at apertures for the passage of thighs, configured to be adjusted to the body of a user; a flat absorbent element; an intermediate impervious element configured to support the absorbent element, the intermediate impervious element being connected by connectors to the outer element, the intermediate impervious element exhibiting two longitudinal elastic borders, each of which, in a stretched and flattened state, makes it possible to cover at least a longitudinal area of the absorbent element, wherein a length of the outer support element, measured along a longitudinal median line of the outer support element, from a first of the connectors to a second of the connectors, is smaller than a length of the intermediate impervious element, measured along a longitudinal line of the intermediate impervious element, from the first of the connectors to the second of the connectors, such that the two longitudinal elastic borders are adapted to remain in permanent contact with the skin of the user, the length of the outer support element and the length of the intermediate element being measured when the outer support element is in a flattened state without the tightening areas and the intermediate impervious element is in a flattened state without the elastic borders.
