A device according to  claim 1  further comprising means to keep the collapsible container in place, which means are the edges of an aperture in which the container fits and wherein the edges of aperture secure the outlet of the container and wherein the apertures are shaped such that the outlet of the container fits in it.  
     
     
         10 . A device according to  claim 1  further comprising means to keep the collapsible container in place wherein said means to keep the sachet in place comprises a means protruding from the inner face of at least one of the opposing bodies at a position such that the collapsible container is securely placed between the aperture and the protruding means.  
     
     
         11 . A device according to  claim 1  further comprising fixation means that if engaged keeps the two opposable bodies in a fixed position relative to each other.  
     
     
         12 . A device according to  claim 1  wherein the device is being made from a unitary body of a flexible material.  
     
     
         13 . A kit of parts comprising a device according  claim 1  and a collapsible container, said container having a dispensing outlet.  
     
     
         14 . A kit of parts comprising a device according  claim 1  wherein the device comprises an aperture whose edges secure the outlet of the container and at least one container having a dispensing outlet sized that it can be secured by the edges of that aperture.  
     
     
         15 .
