Abstract

Wipes dispensers having suitable height and a substantially oval bottom are more ergonomically gripped by consumers and can be easily used with one-handed dispensing from a counter-top. They are also suitable to contain a large number of wipes in a canister that can be ergonomically gripped and has a suitable weight to wipe ratio. Oval wipes canisters of 4.5 to 8.5 inches in height containing coreless rolls of wet wipes or other wipes forms are of ergonomic shape and contain wipes of suitable hand size.
