Abstract: A dispenser for moist towelettes including an open-mouthed container for housing a supply of towelettes and a lid closure which facilitates ready accessibility to a towelette supply. The container is provided with an outwardly extending peripheral flange including front, rear and side sections which define a generally planar surface for receiving the lid in tight fitting engagement. The lid includes a stationary rear portion which overlies the rear flange section of the container, and an integral pivotable front access portion which overlies the interior chamber of the container. Unobstructed access to the entire cross-section of the interior chamber of the container is provided by pivotal movement of the front access portion of the lid.
