A hermetic storage system for containing wipes comprising:
- a flexible container configured for holding the wipes, the flexible container including a body portion extending between an open first end and a closed second end, the body portion having an outer surface defining an exterior of the hermetic storage system;
- a first member;
- a second member coupled to the first member and having a first connector surrounding an aperture;
- and
- a third member having a second connector;
- wherein the flexible container is disposed between the first member and the second member;
- wherein the first connector includes one of a groove and a key and the second connector includes the other one of the groove and the key;
- wherein the groove includes a first peripheral wall and a second peripheral wall, at least one of the first peripheral wall and the second peripheral wall being flexible and wherein the first peripheral wall includes an indentation and a protrusion;
- wherein the key has a width greater than the distance between the protrusion and the second peripheral wall;
