- wherein the outlet assembly comprises:
- a first part defining a first outlet portion having an extension along a centre axis of the first part;
- and
- a second part defining a second outlet portion having an extension along a centre axis of the second part;
- wherein the first part comprises a first protruding portion extending in a direction along the centre axis of the first part and being configured to receive and hold a fastening member, and wherein the second part comprises a first fastening bore extending in a direction along the centre axis of the second part, the first fastening bore being configured to receive the fastening member,
- wherein the first part and the second part are configured to be attached to each other by providing the first part such that the first protruding portion faces the second part and by providing the second part such that the first fastening bore is aligned with the first protruding portion to allow insertion of the fastening member from the second part to the first part, and
- such that, when the first part and the second part are attached to each other, the first outlet portion and the second outlet portion form the outlet for dispensing of the web-shaped absorbent material from the dispenser through the wall opening in a direction along an outlet axis,
- wherein the first part comprises a first protruding support portion extending in a direction along the centre axis of the first part and being configured to be received in a wall bore of the outer wall when the first part and the second part are attached to each other, wherein the first protruding support portion is located radially outside the first outlet portion and at least partly radially inside the first protruding portion.
