(a) one or more braking surfaces for contacting a portion of a wound roll of bags; (b) two support arms configured to receive a wound roll of bags therebetween, wherein each of the two support arms is angled toward the other arm at an angle less than 90° at a default resting position in which a wound roll of bags is not loaded in the dispenser; (c) at least one tab on each of the two support arms configured to engage a core of the wound roll of bags and to provide an inward force against the wound roll of bags, wherein the tabs comprise an outer grasping tab, wherein the outer grasping tab comprises at least a partial loop extending from the support arm directionally away from the roll of bags;
wherein the two support arms are positioned relative to the one or more braking surfaces so as to allow the wound roll of bags to contact at least one of the braking surfaces when the core of the wound roll of bags is engaged by the tabs and wherein the two support arms are configured to swivel so that the wound roll of bags remains in contact with at least one of the braking surfaces as the wound roll of bags is depleted; and (d) a separator positioned relative to the braking surface to separate an individual bag from the wound roll of bags.
