This invention relates to a method for making absorbent sanitary articles, comprising the steps of: feeding along a longitudinal direction of movement (A) at least a first continuous web (21) of material suitable for defining at least part of the main body (2) of an absorbent sanitary article (1)； feeding a pair of longitudinal strips (10, 11)； dividing each strip (10, 11) into a succession of trapezoidal pieces (10a, 10b, 11a, 11b) adjacent to each other and each having a long base (12) and a short base (13), in such a way that the pieces of each strip (10, 11) can be divided alternately into first pieces (10a, 11b) having a first orientation and second pieces (10b, 11a) having a second orientation opposite to the first orientation；spacing the pieces (10a, 10b, 11a, 11b) of each strip (10, 11) from each other； rotating the first or second pieces (10b, 11a) of each strip (10, 11) by 180° in plane in such a way as to give the pieces (10a, 10b) of the first strip the first orientation and the pieces (11a, 11b) of the second strip the second orientation； The method also comprises a step of applying each piece (10a, 10b, 11a, 11b) on a first face (21a), in use, outer face, of the first web (21), in such a way that the long base (12) of the piece (10a, 10b, 11a, 11b) protrudes laterally from the edge of the first web (21) and a step of folding the long base (12) of each piece (10a, 10b,11a, 11b) towards a second face (21b), in use inner face, of the first web(21 ) and fixing it to the second face (21 b).La présente invention concerne un procédé pour fabriquer des articles hygiéniques absorbants, comprenant les étapes consistant : à acheminer, selon une direction longitudinale de mouvement (A), au moins une première bande continue (21) de matériau approprié pour définir au moins une partie du corps principal (2) d'un article hygiénique absorbant (1) ； à acheminer une paire de bandes longitudinales (10, 11) ； à diviser chaque bande (10, 11) en une succession de pièces trap
