A packaging system including a receptacle (30) for sanitary disposal of a spent article(58) according to which the same receptacle(30) also serves to protectively envelop a replacement article. The system also enables the sanitary removal and handling of a spent article(58) according to which the same receptacle also serves to protectively envelop a replacement article. The receptacle, composed of a relatively thin, pliable, liquid impervious material, is generally tubular shaped, sealed at one end and open at the other end. It can be flattened to define an upper ply and a lower ply, then wrapped about a replacement article placed on the upper ply to protectively envelop the replacement article. The wrapped condition is maintained until the replacement article is needed at which time the receptable is unwrapped to expose the replacement article. A user's fingers or hand(56) can be extended into the receptacle to grasp and hold a spent article without touching it. The receptacle is then drawn inside out to envelop the spent article and the opening sealed enabling the sanitary disposal of the receptacle and spent article therein.
