PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a stretchable nonwoven fabric which is excellent in appearance without large creases in an unstretched state, and which can make users feel secure without being transparent and has high breaking strength in a stretched state.SOLUTION: A stretchable nonwoven fabric 10 has stretchability in at least one direction and has a maximum elongation of 50% or more. The stretchable nonwoven fabric 10 has low screening parts 12 with relatively low light-screening properties and high screening parts 13 with relatively high light-screening properties alternately arranged in a stretch direction when stretched 1.5 times in the stretch direction, and has substantially no difference in the light-screening properties in the stretch direction when not stretched in the stretch direction.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】非伸長状態において大きな襞がなく、見栄えに優れると共に、伸長状態において、透けずに使用者に安心感を与えることでき、破断強度が高い伸縮性不織布を提供すること。【解決手段】少なくとも1方向に伸縮性を有する伸縮性不織布10であって、最大伸度が50%以上であり、伸縮方向に1.5倍に伸長させたときにおいては、伸縮方向に、相対的に光の隠蔽性の低い低隠蔽部分12と相対的に光の隠蔽性の高い高隠蔽部分13とが交互に配列しており、伸縮方向に伸長させていないときにおいては、伸縮方向に、光の隠蔽性の差が実質的に存在していない。【選択図】図1
