Abstract
A dry tissue dispenser fits inside a vehicle's cupholder or other receptacle and may be retained, or seated, therein using a tension or adhesive retention device. The dispenser is generally a tapered cylinder with one closed end, the bottom, and one open end, the top. A lid has an opening in the top end through which tissues or other paper products are pulled. The roll of dry tissues or napkins inside is usually perforated or interfolded so that only one tissue is dispensed at a time and such that the removal of one tissue causes the next tissue to become available.
