Waterpik™
Since inventing the original water flosser in 1962, Water Pik, Inc. has become the most trusted name in water flossing. As a proud partner for over 10 years, Tactile has collaborated with Water Pik, Inc. to develop a wide variety of new products from countertop water flossers to handheld devices and shower heads.
With so many products available, Tactile created a universal design language to help unify and reflect the Waterpik™ brand name.
A Trusted Partner
Throughout our partnership, Tactile’s focus has been supporting Water Pik, Inc.’s design needs across different markets. In strategizing together, we have established separate design approaches for flossers and showerheads. Waterpik™ is the #1 selling water flosser in the world and the first to earn the ADA (American Dental Association) Seal of Acceptance.
As a result, we felt it was important develop a brand language with an emphasis on quality and professionalism that would complement any bathroom. Water Pik, Inc. approaches the shower experience with an equal amount of engineering innovation and rigor. We saw an opportunity to reflect consumers’ various home décor styles from traditional to contemporary across the product line.
