<p>A container (1) with a strip of continuous premoisturized swabs (2) therein, each swab being rectangular and interconnected with adjacent swabs at their respective corners (3). The swabs (2) are folded only at their interconnection location and stacked one on top of the other. The container has an end face (4) with an opening (5), through which a portion of the uppermost swab (2) extends. The container also has a lid (9) to protect the portion of the uppermost swab (2) extending through the opening (5). Each swab (2) is removable individually by pulling vertically on the portion of the uppermost swab (2) until it tears at the interconnection location (3) with the successive swab, because of frictional resistance generated by accumulation of the successive swab in the opening being greater than the tear strength of the interconnection location.</p> |
