A roll of an embodiment of the present invention is a roll that is made of a porous film in a belt-like shape, the porous film having a width of not smaller than 20 mm. In a case where a roughness along a width direction of an outermost surface of the roll is measured at 1 mm intervals across an entire width of the outermost surface, a difference between a maximum roughness value and a minimum roughness value in a distance of 20 mm in the width direction of the outermost surface is less than 25 m.
