Dispensing container (101, 201), comprising: - an elongate frame (109, 209) with a first end (111,211) and a second end (113,213); and - an elongate reservoir (125,225) extending between the first end and the second end of the frame; wherein the reservoir comprises: - a foldable wall (127,227) which is connected at a first end (129,229) thereof to the frame close to the first end of the frame for rotation around a longitudinal axis (133,233) of the frame by means of an operating element (117,217), and which is connected non-rotatably to the frame at a second end (131,231) thereof, such that rotation of the operating element (117,217) in a first direction causes dispensing of the contents of the reservoir (125, 225); and - a dispensing opening (107, 207) close to the first end of the frame; characterized in that the dispensing container further comprises: - a closing element (177, 277) displaceable (E,G) along the longitudinal axis of the frame between a closing position and an open position relative to the dispensing opening, wherein - in the closing position the closing element closes the dispensing opening of the reservoir, and - in the open position the dispensing opening is clear of the closing element; wherein - the closing element (177, 277) is connected to the operating element (117, 217) and the frame via a movement-transmitting connecting construction; wherein - the movement-transmitting connecting construction is adapted such that - in the closing position of the closing element a displacement of the closing element along the longitudinal axis of the frame from the closing position to the open position is associated with a rotation of the operating element around the longitudinal axis of the frame in the dispensing direction; - in the open position of the closing element a displacement of the closing element along the longitudinal axis of the frame from the open position to the closing position is associated with a rotation of the operating element around the longitudinal axis of the frame in the direction opposite to the dispensing direction; - in the open position of the closing element a displacement of the closing element along the longitudinal axis of the frame from the open position to the closing position is disassociated from a rotation of the operating element around the longitudinal axis of the frame in the dispensing direction. - an elongate frame (109, 209) with a first end (111,211) and a second end (113,213); and - an elongate reservoir (125,225) extending between the first end and the second end of the frame; - a foldable wall (127,227) which is connected at a first end (129,229) thereof to the frame close to the first end of the frame for rotation around a longitudinal axis (133,233) of the frame by means of an operating element (117,217), and which is connected non-rotatably to the frame at a second end (131,231) thereof, such that rotation of the operating element (117,217) in a first direction causes dispensing of the contents of the reservoir (125, 225); and - a dispensing opening (107, 207) close to the first end of the frame; - a closing element (177, 277) displaceable (E,G) along the longitudinal axis of the frame between a closing position and an open position relative to the dispensing opening, wherein - in the closing position the closing element closes the dispensing opening of the reservoir, and - in the open position the dispensing opening is clear of the closing element; - the closing element (177, 277) is connected to the operating element (117, 217) and the frame via a movement-transmitting connecting construction; - the movement-transmitting connecting construction is adapted such that - in the closing position of the closing element a displacement of the closing element along the longitudinal axis of the frame from the closing position to the open position is associated with a rotation of the operating element around the longitudinal axis of the frame in the dispensing direction; - in the open position of the closing element a displacement of the closing element along the longitudinal axis of the frame from the open position to the closing position is associated with a rotation of the operating element around the longitudinal axis of the frame in the direction opposite to the dispensing direction; - in the open position of the closing element a displacement of the closing element along the longitudinal axis of the frame from the open position to the closing position is disassociated from a rotation of the operating element around the longitudinal axis of the frame in the dispensing direction.
