The invention relates to a method for making a spunbonded high loft nonwoven web comprising crimped multicomponent fibers, the process comprising continuously spinning the fibers, directing the fibers to a spin-belt by deflectors and/or air streams, laying down the fibers on the spinbelt and pre-consolidating the fibers after laydown using one or more pre-consolidation rollers to form a pre-consolidated web, wherein a first component of the fibers comprises a PP homopolymer and a second component of the fibers comprises a PP/PE copolymer, wherein the pre-consolidation rollers are operated at a temperature of smaller 110° C. and/or a linear contact force of smaller 5 N/mm.

Provided is a palp fibrous accumulated sheet including: a liquid permeable pulp fibrous accumulated layer containing a crushed pulp or base-fibers mainly including a crushed pulp, and a binder; and a plurality of fiber crimped parts formed by compression and pressurization, the fiber crimped parts being formed so that crushed pulp fibers each straddling the adjacent fiber crimped parts are present.

Provided are a stretchable non-woven fabric including crimped fibers, satisfying the following formula: (σ.sub.65−σ.sub.55)/(σ.sub.30−σ.sub.20)≥2.5, when a stress σ (N/50 mm) at a strain ε of 20%, 30%, 55% and 65% in a stress-strain curve by a tensile test for at least one direction in a plane direction, is referred to as σ.sub.20, σ.sub.30, σ.sub.55 and σ.sub.65, respectively, and a bandage including the non-woven fabric. The non-woven fabric and the bandage lead small deterioration in stretching performance when used repeatedly, and can be excellent in repetition durability.
