1. A wiping device configured to be inserted in a container, comprising:
- a body;
a wiping portion; and
a coupling member configured to couple the wiping device to the container, wherein;
said coupling member includes a flexible lip on the exterior surface of the body, said flexible lip has a first end attached to the body at a joining region and a second end which is free, and in the absence of stress, said flexible lip makes an acute angle with the body so as to exhibit, during an introduction of the wiping device into the container, a resistance substantially less than a resistance exhibited during extraction of the wiping device from the container.
