Abstract
A portable receptacle is useful for carrying prophylactic packages. The receptacle is comprised of a generally oval shaped casing closed on one end. Margins of the package are folded over and the package is inserted into the receptacle. The package margins tend to return to their unfolded attitude, thereby exerting force on the casing walls. The package restoring force frictionally resists unintentional removal of the package. One casing wall is formed with a large cutout for facilitating package identification and removal. A cover is pivotable on the casing between the closed position overlying the casing cutout wall and open end, and an open position exposing the package and uncovering the casing open end.
