WATER PIK INC. ANNOUNCES THE RESULTS OF ITS "BEHIND THE SHOWER CURTAIN" SURVEY

America`s Steamy Secrets Reveal What Men and Women Really Think About in the
Shower

Taking a peek at what really goes on behind the bathroom`s closed doors, Water
Pik, Inc., a global leader in personal healthcare products, today released the
findings of its "Behind The Shower Curtain" survey. The study asked 1,000
Americans how they spend their time in the bathroom, what they value most about
their behind-the-curtain experience and the nuances between men and women`s
bathroom behavior.

The survey found, for example, that while women use shower time to contemplate
chores, problems and weight, men spend their shower time thinking about work,
sex and day dreams. Men and women did agree that low water pressure is the No. 1
bathroom pet peeve, beating other common annoyances such as tooth paste gobs in
the sink, toilet seats left up and hair in the drain, and both agreed that they
would rather pay bills than clean the shower. The Water Pik survey also
uncovered unique bathroom behavior patterns of parents - underscoring the
importance of the shower for moms especially, fifty percent of whom use the
shower as "a time to escape" compared to twenty-eight percent of dads.

"We know that people love their shower time, so Water Pik is always looking for
ground breaking innovation that transforms the simple act of showering into a
unique personalized shower experience," said Richard Bisson, President and CEO,
Water Pik, Inc. "The `Behind the Shower Curtain` survey allows us to look
closely at men and women's shower preferences to develop a portfolio of
showerheads that exceed expectations in design, style, performance and value."

Men vs. Women

Once behind that locked bathroom door, a gender divide emerges.

* While popular opinion is women spend more time in the shower, survey findings
show that men shower an average of only 2 minutes less than women (14 minutes
for women vs. 12 minutes for men)
* The survey revealed that 64 percent of women think about their to-do lists in
the shower, compared with 48 percent of men
* 66 percent of men admit to showering with another adult for intimacy compared
to 55 percent of women who admit to having an intimate shower
* Men are twice as likely than women to say they have personally changed a
showerhead

Mom`s Escape

All women cherish their shower time, but mom in particular, takes full advantage
of her precious shower time.

* 50 percent of moms say they use the shower as a time to escape, compared to
only 28 percent of dads and 29 percent of women without children
* More than half (53 percent) of moms always feel rushed to get out of the
shower to take care of their family compared to 27 percent of dads
* Moms are more likely than other consumers to say they prefer a massage or
pulsating spray that targets specific areas to relieve aches (36% prefer it
most)
* Behind low water pressure, parents biggest bathroom pet peeves are toothpaste
gobs in the sink and dirty clothes on the bathroom floor
