The present invention is a container insert for volume reduction and tablet stability. It includes a flexible cup member and a rigid stem member. The flexible cup member is comprised of a plurality of correlate petal-like appendages and a hollow stem member. When the container insert is inserted into the mouth of a container, the flexible cup member appendages are flexed inwardly thereby permitting the insert to be fully inserted. When the insert is in place, it may either reside in the base of a container or, alternatively, in the neck of the same. When flexed, the petal-like appendages conform to the shape and dimension of the inside of the container. To accomplish such conformation, the appendages are capable of successive offset overlapping so as to form a bowl-like shape once inserted, much like the petals of a tulip. Preferably, the cup member includes a centrally located mound, and the stem member includes a desiccant retaining element and at least one venting cut-out.
