Abstract: The toilet tissue storage container has two wide flexible tabs protruding downwards and angled inwards, one on the front wall and one on the rear wall. The strength and flexibility of the tabs is developed by the width, length, thickness and angle. The strength and flexibility enable the tabs to hold the weight of four rolls of tissue and expand outwards allowing a full or new roll of tissue to be withdrawn in its entirety. The protruding of the tabs from their respective walls is made possible by the narrow grooves on each side of each tab.
