A segregation disk and method of separately storing items in a collapsible, tubular container uses segregation disks for segregating the collapsible container into multiple chambers of user-selectable size. The segregation disks are generally planar disks having a diameter slightly greater than the interior diameter of the container, and formed of a flexible material that have a plurality of radial slits extending inwardly from their periphery to form a plurality of flexible wedges. At the terminus of each radial slit is a tear break, generally a circular hole. An integral pull tab extends from a peripheral region of one of the flexible wedges to facilitate removal.

What is claimed is: 1. A multi-chambered storage container system comprising:a) a tubular container having a generally circular cross-section and an open end for inserting items to be stored; andb) a plurality of segregation disks for segregating said container into multiple chambers, said segregation disks being generally planar disks having a diameter greater than that of said tubular container, formed of a bendable material and having a plurality of radial slits extending inwardly from a periphery of said disk to form a plurality of flexible wedges therein;c) said generally tubular container having an open top end and a closed bottom end;d) said generally tubular container is collapsible from top to bottom;e) said generally tubular container comprises a plurality of accordion-like folds which enable it to collapse or expand from top to bottom;f) each of said radial slits extends from a periphery of said disk to a terminus at an interior portion of said disk;g) a tear break at each said terminus; andh) wherein each said tear break is a generally circular aperture.
