Abstract A dispensing aid is disclosed for facilitating removal of an individual product from a compressed package. The compressed package has multiple sides and contains a plurality of compressed products arranged in a row. Each of the products has first and second major surfaces. An opening is formed in the compressed package and is aligned perpendicular to the first major surface of at least one of the products. The opening is sized to allow the products to be individually withdrawn. A sheath is sized to contain one of the products to be withdrawn from the compressed package. The sheath to an adjacent sheath has an average coefficient of friction value which is lower than the average coefficient of friction value of a first product to an adjacent product. The sheath functions to reduce the force needed to remove the contained product from the compressed package.
