The dispensing means (10) includes a thin rectangular housing (11) which supports a spool of floss (12) wound in an oval form to provide an elongated open centre portion (13) into which floss may be drawn from the inner end of the spool (12). One major face of the housing contains an elongate recess (14) which extends into the elongated open centre portion (13). This recess (14) contains, at a level below the major face, a floss lead-out guide (16) at one end and at the other end severing means (18). The exposed lead-out portion (21) of the floss which extends between the lead-out guide (16) and the severing means (18) is also held below the major face whereby the dispenser (10) has no external protuberances to snag adjacent items.
