The present invention broadly comprises an apparatus for holding and dispensing rolled products comprising a rigid linear core with a spindle attached to the exterior of the rigid linear core with at least one fin fixedly attached to the spindle. The fins are attached parallel to the spindle, are constructed of an elastomeric material, and extend outwardly and radially from the spindle. Removably attached to the rigid linear core is a head. Also, a base is fixedly attached to the rigid linear core distal to the head. Alternatively, the base can be replaced by a bracket that is capable of being attached to vertical and horizontal surfaces.
