The dispensing device includes a recess formed in an outer wall of the container, a braking unit overlapping the recess. The braking unit includes two lips which work together when items are dispensed and a linear slit between the two lips which enables the items to pass between the two lips, the two lips being fitted with bristles which constitute active elements of the two lips, unattached ends of the bristles of one of the lips extend into, and mesh with, an area of unattached ends of the bristles of the opposite lip. The items are camisole-shaped and sequentially joined bags having a body with a bottom part and handles at the upper part. The bottom part of the body of one of the bags is connected to the leading edge of the handles of the next bag.
