## Claims

### Claim 1

A wet wipe roll dispensing system comprising:
a housing configured to attach to a recessed toilet paper holder, the housing comprising:
a plurality of outer walls comprising a first portion and a second portion pivotally attached to the first portion;
the first portion having a concave center portion, a semi-circular first side, and a semi-circular second side, wherein the center portion has a front edge and a rear edge;
the second portion having a concave central portion, a semi-circular first end, and a semi-circular second end, wherein the central portion has a forward edge and a rearward edge;
a chamber disposed within the outer walls;
a continuous slot disposed along a center horizontal axis between a front edge of the first portion and a forward edge of the second portion;
a semi-circular notch centrally disposed on each of a lower edge of the center portion first and second sides and an upper edge of the central portion first and second ends;
a rod engaging each notch, wherein each rod has an outer portion and an inner portion removably slidingly engaging the outer portion;
a plurality of wet wipes are disposed in a roll configuration;
wherein the roll of wet wipes rotatably engage the rods;
wherein each wet wipe comprises:
an outer edge and an opposite perforated inner edge;
a semi-circular tab centrally disposed on the outer edge, wherein the tab protrudes outwardly from the outer edge;
a semi-circular indentation centrally disposed on the inner edge;
wherein the chamber is configured to removably contain the wet wipes therein;
wherein the slot is configured to removably receive the outer edge and the inner edge of each of the wet wipes therethrough upon the operational engagement of the first portion and the second portion in a closed position; and
wherein the tab is configured to extend outwardly from the chamber through the slot upon the operational engagement of the first portion and the second portion in a closed position.

### Claim 2
