A spray product is provided. The spray product includes a composition contained within a reservoir. The composition has a yield stress greater than zero and less than 1,000 mPa as determined by the RHEOLOGY TEST METHOD. The spray product includes a valve in composition communication with the reservoir; an actuator in mechanical communication with the valve; a nozzle having an outlet orifice; a swirl chamber in composition communication with the outlet orifice; and a plurality of swirl chamber swirl chamber inlet channels in composition communication with the swirl chamber. The outlet orifice is defined by an outlet orifice diameter and an outlet orifice axial length. A ratio of the outlet orifice diameter to the axial length is from about 1.3 to about 3.5.
