Abstract
A wearable article production method for a stretchable sheet having partially weakened stretchability includes a welding step of ultrasonically welding two sheet bodies and an elastic film to each other at plural joints separated from each other in a predetermined transport direction in a region including a predetermined attachment location by transporting a sheet laminate formed by sandwiching the elastic film in an elongated state between the two sheet bodies in the transport direction so that the sheet laminate passes between an anvil roll and an ultrasonic horn to form a stretchable sheet; a weakening step of forming weakened regions, where stretchability of the elastic film is weakened, at least at a part of the attachment location in the stretchable sheet after the welding step; and an attachment step of attaching an absorbent main body to the attachment location so that the absorbent main body overlaps the weakened regions.
