The invention relates to a method for producing disposable incontinence diapers (2), comprising a main part (4), which consists of a front region (6) and a rear region (8) and a crotch region (10), which lies between the front region and the rear region in a longitudinal direction (28) and which comes to lie between the legs of a user, wherein the main part (4) has an absorption element (12), and comprising diaper side parts (20, 22), which are joined to both sides of the rear region (8) and/or to both sides of the front region (6). At least on the side facing the crotch region (10), the diaper side parts (20, 22) form leg opening regions (7) that extend or are contoured at an angle to the longitudinal direction (28) of the disposable incontinence diaper (2). The method comprises the following steps: conveying a material web (50, 50a) forming diaper side parts (20, 22) in a machine direction (40), wherein the material web (50, 50a) has a first (51) and a second material web edge (52) performing first cuts through the material web and at angle to the machine direction (40) in order to form doubly useful material web segments (23, 23a) to be separated from the material web, which material web segments are arranged in alternation along the material web (50, 50a) in the machine direction (40) in such a way that material web segments (23, 23a) directly following one another in the machine direction (40) are rotated 180° in the plane in relation to each other, wherein first separation lines (71) of the first cuts do not extend to the first and second material web edges (51, 52) of the material web (50a, 50b), and therefore the material web (50, 50a) initially remains continuous folding the material web (50, 50a) at least around two folding lines (36) extending in the machine direction (40) in order to form a folded assembly, wherein at least one of the folding lines (36) crosses the first separation lines (71) separating the doubly useful material web segments (23, 23a) f
