Disposed on one side of this nonwoven fabric 10, longitudinal ridges 11 project towards said one side in the thickness direction of the nonwoven fabric, are arranged extending in one direction Y on one side in planar view and are arranged side-by-side, separated from each other in another direction X, different from the one direction Y, on the one surface in the planar view, and transverse ridges 21 extend in the other direction X on the aforementioned one side and are arranged connecting the longitudinal ridges 11. The alignment direction of the fibers constituting the longitudinal ridges 11 and the alignment direction of the fibers constituting the transverse ridges 21 are different.本發明之不織布10係於一面側，於不織布之厚度方向上向該一面側突出之複數個縱隆起部11於俯視下之一面側之一方向Y上延伸，且於與一方向Y不同之俯視下之一面側之另一方向X上相隔地排列而配置，於上述一面側之另一方向X上延伸之橫隆起部21將縱隆起部11相連而配置，且構成縱隆起部11之纖維之配向方向與構成橫隆起部21之纖維之配向方向不同。
