Spray. Thereafter, a heat treatment is performed at a temperature equal to or higher than the crimp development temperature so that the area shrinkage of the structure is set to 30% or more, whereby a fiber structure in which the water-absorbing particulate matter is incorporated can be formed. Further, the mesh of the web transport conveyor for spraying the water-absorbing particulates is coarse, and extra water-absorbing particulates are dropped and collected. Furthermore, when a large amount of water-absorbing particulates are sprayed on the structure to make the absorbent structure having a higher water-absorbing performance, the heat-treated crimps are weakly expressed, and after increasing the fiber density, the water-absorbing particulates are sprayed. Then, by heat-treating again and firmly crimping, more water-absorbing granules can be fixed. Further, after sufficiently expressing the crimp of the crimp-expressing fiber, the same absorbent structure can be obtained even if the absorbent structure is widened and stretched and the water-absorbing granules are dispersed. The rate is 1.1 to 3.0 times and the stretching rate is 1.0
It is desirable to be in the range of 2.0 to 2.0 times.
