The cotton pad dispenser (1) comprises a side wall (2) extending between a top and a bottom end of the dispenser (1), and an end wall (7) near the bottom end, a plurality of disc-shaped cotton pads (9) being stacked within the dispenser. A first cut-out (3) provided in said side wall (2) extends upwards from the bottom end of the dispenser (1) so as to form an entrance into said volume through the side wall (2), and a second cut-out (4) provided in said end wall (7) extends from the first cut-out (3) such that the cut-outs (3, 4) comprise a mutual transition to form one combined withdrawal aperture (1a). The withdrawal aperture (1a) is arranged such as to enable withdrawal of a bottommost cotton pad by gripping a peripheral portion (9b) of the cotton pad (9) with an indexing finger and a thumb, and pulling the cotton pad out of the withdrawal aperture (1a) by means of deformation of the cotton pad (9).
