Abstract: The invention relates to a container for dispensing shampoo, gel and other similar products. The inventive container solves the problem commonly posed by such containers when attempting to remove the product when only a small amount thereof remains, by turning the container upside down and leaving it resting on its lid, thereby making it unstable. Said container is characterised by the position of the lid opening which is disposed on the lower part of same. Moreover, the container comprises a pivoting lid which is disposed on the lower side wall of the container. The aforementioned lid comprises an upper area where it is joined to the container and a lower area which is provided with a flange that is used to stop the passage of the product contained in the container when in the closed position.
