Abstract
Abstract A flexible bag dispenser containing a roll of interconnected moist tissues is disclosed. The tissues are withdrawn from the center of the roll and pass through a restricted opening in the bag. A reclosable closure means is provided at the dispensing end of the bag to prevent evaporative losses and to protect the tissues when not in use.
