Zusammenfassung:An absorbent nonwoven composite material includes a plurality of pleats defined by fold lines in at least one region of the composite. The fold lines are oriented in a first direction. The absorbent nonwoven composite is stretchable in a second direction perpendicular to the fold lines, between a first position where the pleats are substantially folded and a second position where the pleats are substantially unfolded or extended. The absorbent nonwoven composite material is useful in a wide variety of absorbent articles where controlled regional stretching in a selected direction is desired.
