Abstract

A container for dispensing a viscous agent. The container includes a lid with an upper planar surface having an opening therein. A prophylactic sheath depends from the opening and has an extendable body, a normally open interior and end opening which defines a mouth region. The mouth region is affixed to the lid in proximity to the border of the lid opening. The user can insert one or more fingers within the end opening to extend the sheath for dispensing a viscous agent from the body of the container during use. The sheath can also be afixed to an insert which is installed within the mouth opening of the container.
