ABSTRACT:
Provided is an inverted container holding apparatus comprising a securing member and a retaining member. The securing member includes a region configured to receive and secure an inverted container, wherein securing is enhanced by a resiliently flexible material. The retaining member may be removably attachable to the securing member to form a unitary structure or may be attached to a support member which is in turn attached to the securing member to form a unitary structure. A corresponding method of accessing contents of a container includes the provision of an inverted container holding apparatus having a retaining member, wherein the retaining member is configured to capture and retain contents that may vacate the inverted container after it is inserted into the holding apparatus.
