The ring portion includes a woven elastic band section and is changeable in size due to stretchable and contractible characteristics of the woven elastic band section. The woven elastic band section is stretchable along a longitudinal direction thereof, and includes a plurality of fiber bundles which extend along the longitudinal direction and which are spaced apart transversely. The fiber bundles are stretched when the woven elastic band section is stretched, and form a plurality of sweat-absorbing fiber tufts projecting from an inner surface of the woven elastic band section when the latter returns to a normally contracted state.
