Abstract

The invention provides a female member for a face fastener. The female member has loops formed on a first surface of a web. The web has a heat-melt-adhering composite fiber body and is densely heat-melt-adhered together on a second surface. A female member is also provided having ridge-like webs. A method of producing the female member is also provided. A web of a heat-melt-adhering composite fiber body is entangled to form loops on the first surface of the web. After advanced heat-treatment, the second surface is heat-melt-adhered. A method of producing the female member by needling or water stream treating the web is also provided. An inexpensive female member for a fastener is produced suitable for disposable goods such as diapers, hospital clothings, underwears and the like.
