The absorbent disposable incontinence nappy has the side sections (20,22) of the front (6) and rear (8) sections, with regard to at least one primary characteristic, selected from a group of materials which are distinguished by basic weight, breathing activity, density, stretchability, sealing force, extent of area, thickness and color. The angled or curved form of the side sections and hour-glass shaped contouring of the main section (4) on both longitudinal sides of the nappy is formed in each case by a single separating process embracing the side sections and the main section. An independent claim is included for a method for producing a disposable incontinence nappy.
