A method of using an oral care implement comprising:
- a) obtaining a package of oral care implements, the package comprising a tubular body having a cavity, an open top end and a closed bottom end;
- an annular wall disposed within the cavity, the annular wall dividing the cavity into a central cavity and an annular cavity, the annular cavity circumferentially surrounding the central cavity;
- an annular cover rotatably coupled to at least one of the tubular body and the annular wall so as to enclose a top end of the annular cavity, the annular cover comprising a central opening that forms a passageway into the central cavity from an external environment and a dispensing opening that forms a passageway into a portion of the annular cavity from the external environment;
- and a plurality of oral care implements disposed within the annular cavity;
- b) rotating the annular cover until the dispensing opening is aligned with a portion of the annular cavity containing one of the oral care implements;
- and
- c) removing the one oral care implement from the annular cavity via the dispensing opening;
A method of using an oral care implement comprising:
- a) obtaining a package of oral care implements, the package comprising a tubular body having a first cavity and a second cavity, the first cavity separated from the second cavity by at least one wall, the first cavity having an open top end and a closed bottom end, wherein the oral care implements are positioned within the first cavity and a cover encloses the open top end of the first cavity;
- and
- b) removing one of the oral care implements from the first cavity.
A method of using an article comprising:
- a) obtaining a package of articles, the package comprising a tubular body having a plurality of subcavities, wherein each of the subcavities comprises a closed bottom end, an open top end, and at least one of the articles positioned therein, and a cover that encloses the open top ends of the subcavities and allows the subcavities to be selectively opened;
- b) opening one of the subcavities by manipulating the cover;
