The composite elastic member (10) includes a plurality of fixing portions (14) for fixing the elastic member (13) and the two sheet materials (11, 12) intermittently along the direction in which the elastic member (13) extends. Have. In the composite elastic member (10), the elastic member (13) is fixed to the two sheet materials (11, 12) between the fixing portions (14) adjacent to each other along the direction in which the elastic member (13) extends. There is no non-fixed part (16). The two sheet materials (11, 12) located between the adjacent fixing portions (14) move in the direction away from each other to form a fold (15). The fold (15) has a space (S) defined by two sheet materials (11, 12). The cross-sectional area of the space (S) has a maximum value when the elongation rate of the composite elastic member (10) is within 50%.複合伸縮部材(10)は、弾性部材(13)と2枚のシート材(11,12)とを固定する固定部(14)を、弾性部材(13)の延びる方向に沿って間欠的に複数有する。複合伸縮部材(10)は、弾性部材(13)の延びる方向に沿って隣り合う固定部(14)の間に、弾性部材(13)が2枚のシート材(11,12)と固定されていない非固定部(16)を有する。隣り合う固定部(14)間に位置する2枚のシート材(11,12)が互いに離れる方向に移動して襞(15)が形成されている。襞(15)は、2枚のシート材(11,12)によって画成された空間(S)を有する。空間(S)の断面積が、複合伸縮部材(10)の伸長率が50%以内のときに最大値をとるように構成されている。
