(StatePoint) On average, we spend more than 3,000 minutes in our showers every year. How we use those minutes might surprise you. New research from Moen, a leading manufacturer of bathroom fixtures, explores how men and women’s showering and grooming routines compare:

• Women take longer showers, but men shower more frequently. Overall, the average length of time in the shower has decreased by more than 50 percent from 2009. Average shower time now clocks in at 6.8 minutes, versus 13 minutes then.
• More women than men do some of their biggest thinking in the shower, either reflecting on their day or running through to-do lists.
• More women than men tend to shower in the evening before bed to wind down.
• Twenty-eight percent of those surveyed prefer handheld showerheads, which make it easier to clean hair and the body while showering, clean the tub or shower, and wash pets. Hand showers with Moen’s Magnetix technology feature a powerful magnetic dock that allows for easy release of the hand shower, as well as a secure return back into place.
