Abstract

A receptacle for a liquid or paste-like product, in particular a cosmetic product, has a removal part and a storage space for the product. The removal part is introducible into the storage space and is withdrawable by being brought through a wiping device. In order for the receptacle to allow a favorable state of loading with product for the withdrawn removal part, as far as possible in accordance with individual preferences, the wiping device can be altered by action from outside with regard to a wiping effect.
