Abstract
A dispenser for personal sanitary wipes is suspended below a toilet paper roll by hooking into one or both sides of the core tube of a toilet paper roll at the same time that the toilet paper roll is mounted on a toilet paper spindle. In order to reduce friction as the toilet paper roll rotates, the dispenser may have wheels or rollers mounted on arm(s) that extend into the core tube.
