Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Background and Basis of Presentation	Background and Basis of Presentation Background Edgewell Personal Care Company, and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Edgewell” or the “Company”), is one of the world’s largest manufacturers and marketers of personal care products in the wet shave, sun and skin care, feminine care, and infant care categories. Edgewell has a portfolio of over 25 brands and a global footprint in more than 50 countries. The Company conducts its business in the following four segments: • Wet Shave consists of products sold under the Schick®, Wilkinson Sword®, Edge®, Skintimate®, Shave Guard® and Personna® brands, as well as non-branded products. The Company’s wet shave products include razor handles and refillable blades, disposable shave products, and shaving gels and creams. • Sun and Skin Care consists of Banana Boat® and Hawaiian Tropic® sun care products, Jack Black® and Bulldog® men’s skin care products, Wet Ones® wipes, and, until its sale in October 2017, the Playtex® household gloves business. • Feminine Care includes tampons, pads, and liners sold under the Playtex Gentle Glide® and Sport®, Stayfree®, Carefree®, and o.b.® brands. • All Other includes infant care products, such as bottles, cups, and pacifiers, sold under the Playtex, OrthoPro® and Binky® brand names, as well as the Diaper Genie® and Litter Genie® disposal systems. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), under the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The preparation of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation and, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the interim results reported. The fiscal year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but do not include all of the annual disclosures required by GAAP; accordingly, these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Audited Annual Consolidated Financial Statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on November 19, 2018. Statement of Cash Flows Presentation. Certain amounts within Cash Flows from Operating Activities for the six months ended March 31, 2018 have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. Net cash (used by) from operating activities for the six months ended March 31, 2018 was not impacted by this change. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) which provides a single comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers to improve comparability within industries, across industries, and across capital markets. During 2016, the FASB issued three ASUs clarifying the revenue recognition implementation guidance on various topics included within the original ASU. The Company adopted the ASU for revenue recognition beginning October 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. Revenues are primarily generated from the sale of finished products to customers. Those sales predominantly contain a single delivery element and revenue is recognized at a single point in time when ownership, risks, and rewards transfer. As a result, the adoption of the ASU did not have a material impact on the timing of revenue recognition. The adoption resulted in the recognition of a $5.3 inventory return asset included in Other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of October 1, 2018 with an offsetting increase to the returns reserve in Other current liabilities. The adoption resulted in the recognition of a $1.3 liability for advanced payments from customers in Other current liabilities with a corresponding increase to Trade receivables to reclassify advanced payments from customers from contra-Trade receivables as of October 1, 2018. Refer to Note 2 in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion. In August 2016, the FASB issued an ASU intended to address diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments provide guidance on specific cash flow issues, including debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, the sale of accounts receivable, contingent consideration payments on business combinations, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, and distributions received from equity method investees, among others. The Company adopted the ASU beginning October 1, 2018. The Company noted that the adoption of the ASU resulted in the reclassification of approximately $5.0 and $5.3 in operating cash inflows for the six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, associated with the $150 uncommitted master accounts receivable purchase agreement entered into on September 15, 2017 with The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., New York Branch, as the purchaser (the “Accounts Receivable Facility”) to investing cash inflows in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. In October 2016, the FASB issued an ASU intended to improve the accounting for the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. Under the new guidance, an entity should recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory, such as intellectual property and property, plant, and equipment, when the transfer occurs. The Company adopted the standard beginning October 1, 2018. The impact of the adoption of the ASU resulted in the recognition of a deferred tax asset and a credit to retained earnings of $3.9 . In January 2017, the FASB issued an ASU clarifying the definition of a business, reducing the number of transactions that need to be further evaluated, and providing a framework to assist entities in evaluating whether both an input and a substantive process are present. The amendments set forth in the ASU specify that when the fair value of the gross assets acquired or disposed of is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similarly identifiable assets, the integrated set of assets and activities is not a business. The guidance also requires that an integrated set of assets and activities must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output to be considered a business and removes the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace the missing elements. The Company adopted the ASU beginning October 1, 2018. The impact of the ASU will be dependent upon the nature of any future acquisitions or dispositions made by the Company. In March 2017, the FASB issued an ASU intended to improve the presentation of net periodic pension and post-retirement benefit cost. The amendment changes these requirements so that only the service cost component is recorded in the same line item as other compensation costs for the applicable employees, and all other components of net periodic pension and post-retirement benefit cost are recorded on a separate line item outside of income from operations. The amendments also specify that only the service cost component is eligible for capitalization. The Company adopted the ASU as of October 1, 2018, applied the ASU retrospectively for the presentation of the cost components, and applied the ASU prospectively for the capitalization of the service cost component. The adoption impacted the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 and resulted in a reclassification that increased Cost of products sold, Selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”), and Other income, net by $1.0 , $0.8 , and $1.8 , respectively. The adoption impacted the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and resulted in a reclassification that increased Cost of products sold, SG&A and Other income, net by $2.0 , $1.5 , and $3.5 , respectively. In May 2017, the FASB issued an ASU that clarifies the scope of accounting for modifications of share-based payment awards. The amendments provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The Company adopted the ASU beginning October 1, 2018 and noted that the impact on its financial statements was not material. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. In February 2016, the FASB issued an ASU which amends existing lease accounting guidance to require recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for leases previously classified as operating leases. Additionally, this update requires qualitative disclosure along with specific quantitative disclosures. Lessees and lessors will be required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The update will be effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company has begun assessing the impact of the standard, including identification of the lease portfolio and business process changes required to correctly apply the guidance. The Company currently does not expect to early adopt this guidance and is in the process of evaluating its impact on the financial statements; however, the Company anticipates the primary impacts will be a material increase in both assets and liabilities to include operating leases on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. No other new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during fiscal 2019 which was not previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on November 19, 2018 had or is expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

Revenue from Contracts with Cus

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue from contracts with customers	Revenue Recognition On October 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 which provided guidance for accounting for revenue from contracts with customers. The Company adopted the standard beginning October 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method and applied the standard to contracts not completed at the adoption date. No adjustment to retained earnings was required on October 1, 2018. The adoption resulted in changes to how the Company reflects returns and advanced payments received from customers on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Results for periods ending after October 1, 2018 are recognized and presented in accordance with the new standard, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the prior accounting guidance. Other impacts related to the adoption of the standard were not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to Note 15 in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the Company’s disaggregation of revenue by operating segments and products. Practical Expedients The Company elected to apply the following practical expedients when adopting ASU 2014-09: • Accounting for shipping and handling costs that occur before the customer has obtained control of the goods as a fulfillment activity (i.e., expense) instead of as a promised service. • Performance obligations are completed at a point in time which is less than 12 months from when the costs to obtain the contract are incurred. As such, the Company will continue to expense any costs to obtain a contract. Principal Revenue Streams and Significant Judgments Our principal revenue streams can be divided into: i) sale of personal care products primarily through retailers in North America; ii) sale of personal care products through a combination of retailers and distributors internationally; and iii) production and sale of private brands products that are made to customer specifications. Performance Obligations The Company’s revenue is from the sale of its products. Revenue is recognized when the customer obtains control of the goods, which occurs when the ability to use and obtain benefits from the goods are passed to the customer, most commonly upon the delivery of goods to the customer. Discounts are offered to customers for early payment and an estimate of the discounts is recorded as a reduction of Net sales in the same period as the sale. The Company’s standard sales terms are final and returns or exchanges are not permitted with the exception of end of season returns for Sun Care products. Reserves are established and recorded in cases where the right of return does exist for a particular sale. The Company assesses the goods promised in its customers’ purchase orders and identifies a performance obligation to transfer goods (or bundle of goods) that is distinct. To identify the performance obligations, the Company considers all the goods promised, whether explicitly stated or implied based on customary business practices. The Company’s purchase orders are short term in nature, lasting less than one year and contain a single delivery element. For a purchase order that has more than one performance obligation, the Company allocates the total consideration to each distinct performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. The Company does not exclude variable consideration in determining the remaining value of performance obligations. Significant Judgments Under certain circumstances, the Company allows customers to return sun care products that have not been sold by the end of the Sun Care season, which is normal practice in the Sun Care industry. The Company records sales at the time that control of goods pass to the customer. The terms of these sales vary but, in all instances, the following conditions are met: (1) the sales arrangement is evidenced by purchase orders submitted by customers; (2) the selling price is fixed or determinable; (3) title to the product has transferred; (4) there is an obligation to pay at a specified date without any additional conditions or actions required by the Company; and (5) collectability is reasonably assured. Simultaneously with the sale, the Company reduces sales and cost of sales and reserves amounts on its Consolidated Balance Sheet for anticipated returns based upon an estimated return level in accordance with GAAP. Customers are required to pay for the Sun Care product purchased during the season under the required terms. The timing of returns of Sun Care products can vary in different regions based on climate and other factors. However, the majority of returns occur in the U.S. from September through January following the summer sun care season. The Company estimates the level of Sun Care returns as the Sun Care season progresses using a variety of inputs including historical experience, consumption trends during the sun care season, obsolescence factors including expiration dates, and inventory positions at key retailers. The Company monitors shipment activity and inventory levels at key retailers during the season in an effort to more accurately estimate potential returns. This allows the Company to manage shipment activity to its customers, especially in the latter stages of the Sun Care season, to reduce the potential for returned product. The Company also allows for returns of other products under limited circumstances. Non-Sun Care returns are evaluated each period based on communications with customers and other issues known as of period end. The Company had a reserve for returns of $37.9 and $58.6 at March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 required changes in the presentation of returns on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, namely that a return asset should be recognized for returns expected to be resold, measured at the carrying amount of goods at the time of sale, less the expected costs to recover the goods and any expected reduction in value. The Company had an inventory return asset of $5.3 as of the adoption date. The Company recorded an inventory return asset of $2.9 as of March 31, 2019. The recognition of an inventory return asset resulted in a corresponding increase to the reserve for returns as of March 31, 2019. The inventory return asset and the reserve for returns are included in Other current assets and Other current liabilities, respectively, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. In addition, the Company offers a variety of programs, such as consumer coupons and rebate programs, primarily to its retail customers, designed to promote sales of its products. Such programs require periodic payments and allowances based on estimated results of specific programs and are recorded as a reduction to Net sales. The Company accrues, at the time of sale, the estimated total payments and allowances associated with each transaction. Additionally, the Company offers programs directly to consumers to promote the sale of its products. Promotions which reduce the ultimate consumer sale prices are recorded as a reduction of Net sales at the time the promotional offer is made using estimated redemption and participation levels. Taxes the Company collects on behalf of governmental authorities, which are generally included in the price to the customer, are also recorded as a reduction of Net sales. The Company continually assesses the adequacy of accruals for customer and consumer promotional program costs not yet paid. To the extent total program payments differ from estimates, adjustments may be necessary. Historically, these adjustments have not been material. Contract Balances The timing of revenue recognition is based on the customer’s receipt of goods. Standard payment terms with customers require payment after goods have been delivered and risk of ownership has transferred to the customer. The Company has contract liabilities as a result of advanced payments received from certain customers before goods have been delivered and all performance obligations have been completed. Contract liabilities as of the adoption date were $1.3 . Contract liabilities were $0.6 at March 31, 2019 and were classified within Other current liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Of the amount deferred, substantially all will be recognized within a year, with the significant majority to be captured within a quarter following deferral. Accounts receivable are stated at their net realizable value. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in the receivables portfolio determined on the basis of historical experience, specific allowances for known troubled accounts, and other currently available information.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Business Combinations and Divestiture	Business Combinations and Divestitures Jack Black, L.L.C. On March 1, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of Jack Black, L.L.C. (“Jack Black”), a men’s luxury skincare products company based in the U.S., for $90.2 , net of cash acquired. The acquisition creates opportunities to expand the Company’s personal care portfolio into a growing global category where it can leverage its international geographic footprint. The acquisition was financed through available operating cash. The Company has recognized the assets and liabilities of Jack Black based on estimates of their acquisition date fair values. The determination of the fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, including goodwill and other intangible assets, requires significant judgment. The Company completed the final fair value determination during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018. At March 1, 2018, the opening balance sheet for Jack Black included net assets acquired of $93.9 and consisted of working capital and other net assets of $11.9 (including cash of $3.7 ), other intangible assets of $47.7 and goodwill of $34.3 , representing the value of expansion into new markets. Goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The intangible assets acquired consisted primarily of the Jack Black trade name, customer relationships and product formulations with a weighted average useful life of 17 years . All assets are included in the Company’s Sun and Skin Care segment. The Company noted the revenues and net earnings of Jack Black from the beginning of the period through the acquisition date were not material relative to the total revenues and net earnings of the Company during fiscal 2018. Acquisition and integration costs related to Jack Black totaling $0.5 and $1.0 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019, were included in SG&A on the Consolidated Statement of Earnings. Acquisition and integration costs related to Jack Black totaled $2.6 during the three and six months ended March 31, 2018 and were included in SG&A on the Consolidated Statement of Earnings. Sale of Playtex Gloves Business On October 3, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Playtex gloves business to a household products company (the “Acquirer”) for $19.0 to allow the Company to better focus and utilize its resources on its other product lines. The agreement also provided the Acquirer with indefinite and exclusive worldwide rights to the Playtex trademark for gloves. The sale was completed on October 26, 2017. Total assets sold were approximately $3.1 resulting in a pre-tax gain on sale of $15.9 in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The gain on sale of Playtex gloves recognized for fiscal year 2018 was $15.3 .

Restructuring Charges [Abstract]
Restructuring Charges	Restructuring Charges Project Fuel In February 2018, the Company announced Project Fuel, an enterprise-wide transformational initiative that is designed to address all aspects of the Company’s business and cost structure, simplifying and transforming the organization, structure, and key processes that will provide the necessary catalyst for further re-investment in the Company’s growth objectives while enabling the Company to achieve its desired future state operations. The project will incorporate the Company’s Zero-Based Spending (“ZBS”) and global productivity initiatives and will include a new global restructuring initiative. Initial costs for Project Fuel relate to efforts to fully define the scope and reach of the project. In addition, the Company has incurred global severance costs related to the reduction of overhead. While the Company incurred costs and realized savings for Project Fuel in fiscal 2018, most costs will be incurred and savings achieved during fiscal 2019 through fiscal 2021. The Company does not include Project Fuel restructuring costs in the results of its reportable segments. The estimated impact of allocating such charges to segment results for fiscal 2019 would have been as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Wet Sun and Skin Care Feminine Care All Other Corporate Total Project Fuel Severance and related benefit costs $ 4.4 $ 1.7 $ 0.9 $ 0.3 $ 1.8 $ 9.1 Asset impairment and accelerated depreciation 0.5 — — — — 0.5 Consulting, project implementation and management and, other exit costs — — — — 5.8 5.8 Total Restructuring $ 4.9 $ 1.7 $ 0.9 $ 0.3 $ 7.6 $ 15.4 Six Months Ended March 31, 2019 Wet Sun and Skin Care Feminine Care All Other Corporate Total Project Fuel Severance and related benefit costs $ 11.7 $ 2.2 $ 1.2 $ 0.4 $ 2.8 18.3 Asset impairment and accelerated depreciation 0.5 — — — 0.5 1.0 Consulting, project implementation and management and, other exit costs 2.3 — — — 12.3 14.6 Total Restructuring $ 14.5 $ 2.2 $ 1.2 $ 0.4 $ 15.6 $ 33.9 Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 Wet Sun and Skin Care Feminine Care All Other Corporate Total Project Fuel Severance and related benefit costs $ 1.5 $ 0.7 $ 0.1 $ — $ — 2.3 Consulting, project implementation and management and, other exit costs — — — — 1.4 1.4 Total Restructuring $ 1.5 $ 0.7 $ 0.1 $ — $ 1.4 $ 3.7 Pre-tax SG&A of $1.9 and $3.3 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019, associated with certain information technology enablement expenses related to Project Fuel, were included in Consulting, project implementation and management, and other exit costs.

Income Taxes

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes For the three and six months ended March 31, 2019, the Company had income tax expense of $15.5 and $23.5 , respectively, on Earnings before income taxes of $63.7 and $71.3 , respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 was 24.4% and 33.0% . The difference between the federal statutory rate and the effective rate is primarily due to a $4.7 net transitional charge resulting from the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, as discussed below. The rate was also unfavorably impacted by $33.9 of restructuring and other related costs in lower tax rate jurisdictions and unfavorable tax adjustments, including the impact of equity compensation. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2018, the Company had income tax expense of $20.7 and $47.1 , respectively, on Earnings before income taxes of $85.8 and $118.9 , respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended March 31, 2018 was 24.1% and 39.7% , respectively. The difference between the federal statutory rate and the effective rate for the six months ended March 31, 2018 is primarily due to a $17.4 net transitional charge resulting from the enactment of The Tax Act, as discussed below. U.S. Tax Reform On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted the Tax Act. This new comprehensive tax legislation reduces the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% but also limits and/or eliminates certain deductions while creating new taxes on certain foreign sourced earnings. Since the Company has a September 30 fiscal year end, the lower U.S. corporate income tax rate was phased in, resulting in a blended U.S. statutory federal rate of approximately 24.5% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018 and 21% for subsequent fiscal years. The reduction in the U.S. corporate tax rate required the Company to remeasure its U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities to the lower federal rate of 21% . The Tax Act also imposed a one-time transition tax on historical earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that were not previously taxed by the U.S. For the six months ended March 31, 2019, the discrete tax adjustment for the one-time transition tax on foreign earnings was $4.7 compared to $96.7 for the six months ended March 31, 2018. The March 31, 2018 transition tax expense was offset by the estimated benefit of remeasurement of U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities of $79.3 , resulting in a net charge of $17.4 for the period, which was included as a component of income tax expense. The Company has tax loss carryforwards and tax credits, a portion of which are expected to be used to partially offset amounts payable over eight years related to the one-time transition tax on foreign earnings. Subsequent to the Tax Act, the SEC issued rules under Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 118 that allow for a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date of the Tax Act to finalize the recording of the related tax impacts. As of December 31, 2018, the Company has completed the accounting analysis for the Tax Act under SAB 118 based on current guidance, interpretations, and data available. We will continue to monitor and assess the impact of any new guidance and legislative changes. Due to the Company’s fiscal year end, certain tax provisions of the new Tax Act impacted the Company in fiscal 2018 while others are effective for fiscal year 2019 and beyond. The significant provisions of the Tax Act which the Company is subject to beginning in fiscal 2019 include the full U.S. federal statutory rate reduction to 21% , the repeal of the domestic production activities deduction, tax on global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”), base erosion and anti-avoidance tax (“BEAT”), limitation of deductibility of certain executive compensation, limitation on business interest, and a deduction for foreign derived intangible income (“FDII”). The Company has recorded tax liabilities/(benefits) for the various provisions during the first six months of fiscal 2019. The Tax Act subjects a U.S. corporation to tax on its GILTI. U.S. GAAP allows companies to make an accounting policy election of either (1) treating taxes due on future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI as a current-period expense when incurred (the “period cost method”) or (2) factoring such amounts into the Company’s measurement of deferred taxes (the “deferred method”). The Company has made an accounting policy election to treat GILTI taxes as a current period expense. The Company generally repatriates a portion of current year earnings from select non-US subsidiaries only if the economic cost of the repatriation is not considered material. The Company has historically considered the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no taxes have been provided on such earnings. We continue to evaluate our plans for reinvestment or repatriation of unremitted foreign earnings and have not changed our previous indefinite reinvestment determination following the enactment of the Tax Act. If we determine that all or a portion of such foreign earnings are no longer indefinitely reinvested, the Company may be subject to additional foreign withholding taxes and U.S. federal and state income taxes beyond the Tax Act’s one-time transition tax.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings per Share	Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is based on the number of shares used for the basic earnings per share calculation, adjusted for the dilutive effect of share options and restricted share equivalent (“RSE”) awards. The following is the reconciliation between the number of weighted-average shares used in the basic and diluted earnings per share calculation: Three Months Ended March 31, Six Months Ended March 31, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Basic weighted-average shares outstanding 54.1 54.0 54.1 54.7 Effect of dilutive securities: RSE awards 0.2 0.1 0.2 0.2 Total dilutive securities 0.2 0.1 0.2 0.2 Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding 54.3 54.1 54.3 54.9 For the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 , the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding excludes 0.5 of share options because the effect of including these awards was anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 , the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding excludes 0.1 of RSE awards because the effect of these awards was anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2018 , the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding excludes 0.6 of share options because the effect of including these awards was anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2018 , the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding excludes 0.1 of RSE awards because the effect of these awards was anti-dilutive.

Estimated amortization expense for amortizable intangible assets for the remainder of fiscal 2019 and for fiscal 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 is $8.7 , $17.1 , $16.5 , $16.4 , $16.3 , and $16.2 , respectively, and $167.2 thereafter. The Company had indefinite-lived intangible assets of $828.9 ( $179.6 in Wet Shave, $475.6 in Sun and Skin Care, $29.9 in Feminine Care, and $143.8 in All Other) at March 31, 2019 , a decrease of $2.6 from September 30, 2018, resulting from changes in foreign currency translation rates. The Company had indefinite-lived trade names and brands of $831.5 ( $182.2 in Wet Shave, $475.6 in Sun and Skin Care, $29.9 in Feminine Care, and $143.8 in All Other) at September 30, 2018. Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life are not amortized but are instead reviewed annually for impairment of value or when indicators of a potential impairment are present. The Company’s annual impairment testing date is July 1. The Company continuously monitors events which could trigger an interim impairment analysis, such as changing business conditions and environmental factors. An interim impairment analysis may indicate that carrying amounts of goodwill and other intangible assets require adjustment or that remaining useful lives should be revised. Refer to the sensitivity analysis in Note 8 to the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on November 19, 2018. During fiscal 2018, the Company recorded impairment charges of $24.4 on the goodwill of the Infant Care reporting unit. The value of the Infant Care reporting unit decreased and required an impairment because of higher discount rates, lower forecasted revenue growth rates, and earnings margins, which resulted in lower projected long-term future cash flows when interim impairment analysis was performed.

Transfers and Servicing [Abstract]
Accounts receivable facility	Accounts Receivable Facility On September 15, 2017, the Company entered into the Accounts Receivable Facility. Transfers under this agreement are accounted for as sales of receivables, resulting in the receivables being de-recognized from the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The purchaser assumes the credit risk at the time of sale and has the right at any time to assign, transfer, or participate any of its rights under the purchased receivables to another bank or financial institution. The purchase and sale of receivables under the agreement is intended to be an absolute and irrevocable transfer without recourse by the purchaser to the Company for the creditworthiness of any obligor. The Company continues to have collection and servicing responsibilities for the receivables sold and receives separate compensation for their servicing. The compensation received is considered acceptable servicing compensation and, as such, the Company does not recognize a servicing asset or liability. As of March 31, 2019, the discount rate used to determine the purchase price for the subject receivables is based upon LIBOR plus a margin applicable to the specified obligor. Accounts receivables sold under this agreement were $232.1 and $446.0 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019, respectively, and $281.5 and $491.6 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2018, respectively. The trade receivables sold that remained outstanding under this agreement as of March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018 were $107.9 and $77.9 , respectively. The net proceeds received were included in cash provided by operating activities and cash provided by investing activities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The difference between the carrying amount of the trade receivables sold and the sum of the cash received is recorded as a loss on sale of receivables in Other expense (income), net in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings. The loss on sale of trade receivables was $0.7 and $1.3 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019, respectively, and the loss on sale of trade receivables was $0.6 and $1.0 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2018, respectively.

Financial Instruments and Risk

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Financial Instruments and Risk Management	Financial Instruments and Risk Management At times, the Company enters into contractual arrangements (also referred to as derivatives), to reduce its exposure to foreign currency. The Company has master netting agreements with all of its counterparties that allow for the settlement of contracts in an asset position with contracts in a liability position in the event of default. The Company manages counterparty risk through the utilization of investment grade commercial banks, diversification of counterparties, and its counterparty netting arrangements. The section below outlines the types of derivatives that existed at March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018 , as well as the Company’s objectives and strategies for holding derivative instruments. Foreign Currency Risk A significant share of the Company’s sales is tied to currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the Company’s reporting currency. As such, a weakening of currencies relative to the U.S. dollar can have a negative impact on reported earnings. Conversely, strengthening of currencies relative to the U.S. dollar can improve reported results. The primary currencies to which the Company is exposed include the euro, the Japanese yen, the British pound, the Canadian dollar, and the Australian dollar. Additionally, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries enter into internal and external transactions that create non-functional currency balance sheet positions at the foreign subsidiary level. These exposures are generally the result of intercompany purchases, intercompany loans, and to a lesser extent, external purchases, and are revalued in the foreign subsidiary’s local currency at the end of each period. Changes in the value of the non-functional currency balance sheet positions in relation to the foreign subsidiary’s local currency results in an exchange gain or loss recorded in Other income, net. The primary currency to which the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are exposed is the U.S. dollar. Cash Flow Hedges At March 31, 2019 , the Company maintained a cash flow hedging program related to foreign currency risk. These derivative instruments had a high correlation to the underlying exposure being hedged and were deemed highly effective for accounting purposes in offsetting the associated risk. The Company entered into a series of forward currency contracts to hedge cash flow uncertainty associated with currency fluctuations. These transactions are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The Company had unrealized pre-tax gains of $2.4 and $3.9 at March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018 , respectively, on these forward currency contracts, which are accounted for as cash flow hedges, and are included in AOCI. Assuming foreign exchange rates versus the U.S. dollar remain at March 31, 2019 levels over the next 12 months, the majority of the pre-tax gain included in AOCI at March 31, 2019 is expected to be included in Other income, net. Contract maturities for these hedges extend into fiscal 2020. At March 31, 2019 , there were 61 open foreign currency contracts with a total notional value of $125.3 . Derivatives not Designated as Hedges The Company entered into foreign currency derivative contracts which are not designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes to hedge balance sheet exposures. Any gains or losses on these contracts are expected to be offset by exchange gains or losses on the underlying exposures and thus are not subject to significant market risk. The change in estimated fair value of the foreign currency contracts for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 resulted in a gain of $0.7 and a loss of $0.6 , respectively, compared to losses of $2.6 and $2.8 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2018, and was recorded in Other income, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. At March 31, 2019, there were six open foreign currency derivative contracts not designated as cash flow hedges, with a total notional value of $55.8 . The following table provides estimated fair values of derivative instruments: Fair Value of Asset (Liability) (1) March 31, 2019 September 30, 2018 Derivatives designated as cash flow hedging relationships: Foreign currency contracts $ 2.4 $ 3.9 Derivatives not designated as cash flow hedging relationships: Foreign currency contracts $ 0.1 $ 1.3 (1) All derivative assets are presented in Other current assets or Other assets. All derivative liabilities are presented in Other current liabilities or Other liabilities. The following table provides the amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments: Three Months Ended March 31, Six Months Ended March 31, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Derivatives designated as cash flow hedging relationships: Foreign currency contracts Gain (loss) recognized in OCI (1) $ 1.8 $ (3.3 ) $ 1.6 $ (3.7 ) Gain (loss) reclassified from AOCI into income (effective portion) (1) (2) 1.3 (0.8 ) $ 3.1 $ (1.5 ) Derivatives not designated as cash flow hedging relationships: Foreign currency contracts Gain (loss) recognized in income (2) $ 0.7 $ (2.6 ) $ (0.6 ) $ (2.8 ) (1) Each of these derivative instruments had a high correlation to the underlying exposure being hedged for the periods indicated and were deemed highly effective in offsetting associated risk. (2) Gain (loss) was recorded in Other income, net. The following table provides financial assets and liabilities for balance sheet offsetting: At March 31, 2019 At September 30, 2018 Assets (1) Liabilities (2) Assets (1) Liabilities (2) Foreign currency contracts Gross amounts of recognized assets (liabilities) $ 2.6 $ — $ 5.3 $ — Gross amounts offset in the balance sheet (0.1 ) — (0.1 ) — Net amounts of assets (liabilities) presented in the balance sheet $ 2.5 $ — $ 5.2 $ — (1) All derivative assets are presented in Other current assets or Other assets. (2) All derivative liabilities are presented in Other current liabilities or Other liabilities. Fair Value Hierarchy Accounting guidance on fair value measurements for certain financial assets and liabilities requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified in one of the following three categories: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions or external inputs from inactive markets. Under the fair value accounting guidance hierarchy, an entity is required to maximize the use of quoted market prices and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, which are carried at fair value and measured on a recurring basis during the period, all of which are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy: March 31, September 30, Liabilities at estimated fair value: Deferred compensation $ (42.4 ) $ (46.9 ) Derivatives - foreign currency contracts 2.5 5.2 Net liabilities at estimated fair value $ (39.9 ) $ (41.7 ) At March 31, 2019 , the estimated fair value of foreign currency contracts is the amount that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the contracts, considering first the quoted market prices of comparable agreements or, in the absence of quoted market prices, factors such as interest rates, currency exchange rates, and remaining maturities. The estimated fair value of the deferred compensation liability is determined based upon the quoted market prices of the investment options that are offered under the plan. At March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018 , the Company had no Level 1 or Level 3 financial assets or liabilities, other than pension plan assets. At March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018 , the fair market value of fixed rate long-term debt was $1,053.2 and $1,061.2 , respectively, compared to its carrying value of $1,100.0 and $ 1,100.0 , respectively. The estimated fair value of the long-term debt was estimated using yields obtained from independent pricing sources for similar types of borrowing arrangements. There was no variable rate debt excluding revolving credit facilities as of March 31, 2019. The estimated fair value of variable-rate debt, which consists of bank debt and excludes revolving credit facilities, was $185.0 at September 30, 2018 compared to its carrying value of $184.9 at September 30, 2018. The estimated fair value was equal to the face value of the debt. The estimated fair value of long-term debt, excluding revolving credit facilities, have been determined based on Level 2 inputs. Due to the nature of cash and cash equivalents and short-term borrowings, including notes payable, carrying amounts on the balance sheets approximate fair value. Additionally, the carrying amounts of the Company’s revolving credit facilities, which are classified as long-term debt on the balance sheet, approximate fair value due to the revolving nature of the balances. The estimated fair value of cash and cash equivalents, short-term borrowings, and the revolving credit agreements have been determined based on Level 2 inputs.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Data	Segment Data For an overview of the Company’s segments, refer to Note 1 to Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Segment performance is evaluated based on segment profit, exclusive of general corporate expenses, share-based compensation costs, costs associated with restructuring initiatives, the gain on the sale of the Playtex gloves business, and the amortization of intangible assets. Financial items, such as interest income and expense, are managed on a global basis at the corporate level. The exclusion of such charges from segment results reflects management’s view on how it evaluates segment performance. The Company’s operating model includes some shared business functions across the segments, including product warehousing and distribution, transaction processing functions, and, in most cases, combined sales force and management teams. The Company applies a fully allocated cost basis in which shared business functions are allocated between the segments. Such allocations are estimates and do not represent the costs of such services if performed on a stand-alone basis.

Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Financial Information [Abstract]
Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Financial Information	Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Financial Information The Company's senior notes issued in May 2011 and May 2012 (collectively, the "Notes") are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by the Company's existing and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries that are guarantors of any of the Company's credit agreements or other indebtedness for borrowed money (the "Guarantors").
