About Pañalín
Pañalín is La Fabril's nappy brand, sold with matching wet wipes, and it is one of two nappy lines the company runs — Nappis is the other. Nappies sit oddly beside cooking oil until you notice that La Fabril's personal care division also makes baby soaps, talc and shampoo under the Angelino name for the same shoppers.
