The objective of the present invention is to provide a method for producing, at high speed, a non-woven fabric for an absorbent article, said fabric being shaped from a non-woven fabric and having an excellent feel. This production method includes: a step of preheating a non-woven fabric (3) to be shaped and a step of forming a shaped non-woven fabric (7), wherein the pre-heated non-woven fabric (5) to be shaped is shaped by being passed through a pair of shaping members (17). In the pair of shaping members (17), a first shaping member (19) is provided with a plurality of projecting ridges (19a) and a plurality of recessed grooves (19b), and a second shaping member (21) is provided with a plurality of pins (21a) that include a tip portion and are arranged so as to engage with the recessed grooves (19b). The shaped non-woven fabric (7) is provided with: (i) a plurality of ridge portions (105) (ii) a plurality of groove portions (107) that have a groove bottom portion (107) and (iii) a plurality of recesses (111) that are provided in the groove bottom portions (109) of the groove portions (107), are arranged intermittently in one direction (DO), are recessed to a second surface (103) side, and have a bottom portion (113).本發明的目的是為了提供一種吸收性物品用之賦形不織布之製造方法,可從不織布高速地製造出皮膚觸感優異的不織布。本發明的製造方法具有以下的構成。吸收性物品用之賦形不織布(7)之製造方法,其特徵在於,係包含:將待賦形的不織布(3)實施預熱之步驟、以及讓被預熱之待賦形的不織布(5)通過一對的賦形構件(17)間而將被預熱之待賦形的不織布(5)實施賦形以形成賦形後的不織布(7)之步驟;在一對的賦形構件(17)中,第1賦形構件(19)係具備複數個突稜(19a)及複數個凹槽(19b),第2賦形構件(21)係具備:配置成與凹槽(19b)嚙合且含有前端部之複數個銷(21a);賦形後的不織布(7)具備以下的構造:(i)複數個畝部(105),(ii)具有槽底部(109)之複數個溝槽部(107),及(iii)具有底部(113)之複數個凹部(111),複數個凹部(111)係設置於溝槽部(107)的槽底部(109)且沿一方向(DO)間歇地配置,並朝向第2面(103)側凹陷。17‧‧‧賦形裝置19‧‧‧第1賦形輥19a‧‧‧突稜19b‧‧‧凹槽21‧‧‧第2賦形輥21a‧‧‧銷23‧‧‧前端部MD‧‧‧搬運方向CD‧‧‧寬度方向
