Dispensers in accordance with the invention are extremely adaptable. They may be used either as a portable dispenser for wipes, or mounted to a wall or fixed surface. Two similar containers may be joined together to form a dispenser in order to carry twice as many wipes or to dispense two different types of wipes thereby eliminating the need to carry two containers, one for each product. Alternatively, one container may be used to dispense wipes and the other may be used as a receptacle for soiled or used wipes. The containers may be substantially identical.
