A container for storing and dispensing wipes that includes an extendable orifice. The orifice is extendable into the storage space of the wipes container to position an opening in close proximity with the top of a stack of wipes stored in the container. The extendable orifice may also act to reduce moisture loss in the case of wet-wipes and reduce the occurrence of fall-back.

1. A container for storing and dispensing wipes, the wipes container comprising: an interior storage space for storing one or more wipes;one or more wipes disposed in the interior storage space; andan extendable orifice for enabling a user to access the wipes, the extendable orifice comprising an x-y plane and two or more foldable segments, wherein the orifice is extendable into the interior storage space of the wipes container in an axial direction which is substantially orthogonal to the x-y plane. 2. The wipes container of claim 1, wherein the extendable orifice is collapsible. 3. The wipes container of claim 1, wherein the extendable orifice comprises a first segment and a second segment, each segment having a longest dimension in the x-y plane of the orifice. 4. The wipes container of claim 3, wherein the longest dimension of the second segment is less than the longest dimension of the first segment. 5. The wipes container of claim 3, wherein the longest dimension of the second segment is substantially the same as the longest dimension of the first segment. 6. The wipes container of claim 1, wherein the extendable orifice comprises three or more segments in succession, each segment having a longest dimension in the x-y plane of the orifice, the longest dimension of any segment in the succession being not greater than the longest dimension of a segment that precedes it in the succession. 7. The wipes container of claim 1, where the orifice has an extended length and a collapsed length, the extended length being greater than the collapsed length. 8. The wipes container of claim 1, wherein the orifice is extendable such that a cup-like space is provided in the orifice, the cup-like space being suitable for storing one or more wipes. 9. The wipes container of claim 8, wherein the container includes a lid and the lid covers the orifice and the cup-like space when a wipe is stored in the cup-like space. 10. The wipes container of claim 1, wherein the orifice does not collapse when the wipes are extracted from the container. 11. The wipes container of claim 1, wherein the container exhibits substantially no lift-off when the wipes are extracted. 12. The wipes container of claim 1, wherein at least a portion of the extendable orifice includes surface features for increasing the dispensing force of the container. 13. The wipes container of claim 1, wherein the interior storage space has a volume, the volume of the interior storage space being reduced by an amount in the range of about 5% to about 100% when the extendable orifice is extended. 14. The wipes container of claim 1, wherein the orifice is at least one of removable, reattachable, and transferable. 15. The wipes container of claim 1, further comprising a lid for covering the extendable orifice. 16. The wipes container of claim 15, wherein the orifice is at least one of removable, reattachable, and transferable. 17. The wipes container of claim 1, wherein the wipes are wet-wipes and the wipes container reduces the amount of moisture loss of the wet-wipes. 18. The container of claim 1, wherein the container has an Effusivity value at 23° C. and 32° C. of less than about 550. 19. The container of claim 1, further comprising one or more rigid walls. 20. A reusable container for storing and dispensing wet-wipes, the wipes container comprising: a first shell joined to a second shell by a hinge, the first and second shells defining an interior storage space for storing one or more wipes;a plurality of wet-wipes disposed in the interior storage space;a telescopically extendable orifice comprising two or more foldable segments joined to the first shell of the container, wherein the orifice is extendable into the interior storage space of the wipes container, the extendable orifice enabling a user to access and remove at least one wet-wipe from the interior storage space; anda lid joined to the first shell for covering the orifice; wherein the container can be opened by a user to replenish a depleted supply of wet-wipes in the interior storage space by rotating at least one of the first and second shells about the hinge.
