Abstract
An applicator pad dispensing container is provided having a jar, a cap to close the jar and a piston assembly movable within the jar. The piston assembly includes a platform with a rod projecting from an upper surface thereof terminating in a head. A stack of applicator pads, each with a central aperture, can be loaded onto the platform with the rod penetrating the aperture to securely hold the pads. The head engages a hollow socket in an under surface of the cap. Engagement of head and cap allows the platform with pads to be raised to a top position whereupon the cap can twistably be released from the head. After a pad(s) is removed, the cap can snap onto the head and with downward pressure return the platform with remaining pads back into the jar.
