Apparatus for hands-free portability, single-handed dispensing and omnipresent availability of folded and stacked pre-moistened antiseptic towelettes intended for use in the control and prevention of contact transmission of infectious disease by making frequent and effective hand and object cleansing feasible and appealing, despite the pressures and demands of contemporary life. It comprises a bag with a reflective and washable outer surface, which expands according to fullness, and two covered compartments separated by an insulated divider, one being employed for unused towelettes, and the other for soiled towelettes. Adjustable straps that include hook-and-loop fasteners in alternating configurations permit attachment of the bag to body parts, items worn and transported by users, inanimate objects, and mobile items in contact with floor and ground surfaces the movement of which is guided by users. Widely-accepted behavior modification strategies, which influence and provoke its use, are integral to the material components of the apparatus.

ow said first part of each said hook and loop closure mechanism attached to said first cover to again make contact with its paired second part attached to said bag, and thereafter securely re-attaching said closure means on said interior surface of said covers to said complementary and cooperating closure means on said outer surface of said bag with slight pressure from the back of only one hand, said towelette dispenser system thereby safely and conveniently leaving the other hand free to perform non-towelette dispensing functions; further wherein said two-part quick-release buckles, said strap couplers, and said hook and loop strap closure means provide rapid attachment and disconnection of said extension straps and thereby assist in providing users with an easily learned, fast and convenient means of hand and other antisepsis, of which the ease, speed, and convenience provides positive reinforcement of the use of said towelette dispenser system, via positive operant conditioning that reliably increases the probability of repetition of healthy user hygiene habits; and further wherein when users perform identical steps of opening, dispensing, depositing, and closing said first and second compartment covers, which in addition to the ease, speed, and convenience of antiseptic hand cleansing provided, elicit repetitive and redundant classical and operant conditioning for desirable healthy hand hygiene and other sanitary cleansing behavior by the user, behavior modification in the form of increased frequency of use of said bag for hand decontamination and other sanitary cleansing purposes is provoked on behalf of contagion control of infectious diseases.
