Wayward Son:until the day comes when you can't create enough spit to do the job
This is when I found out the marriage had limits...
husband was unable to spit one day so I happily leaned over while commenting "here ya' go" and he jerked his mask away so fast and hard that he just about threw it overboard. Wish we'd had a short video clip of that cuz it still makes me laugh

Good spitting technique is important. Gotta get enough in there to really do some good, but don't waste it all...
Sometimes I'll spit twice. One right before I throw all my gear on to walk down (mask on back of forehead) and once right as I get in. Rinse it all out and I never have fogging issues.
Takes some practice, though.

I stay hydrated, but I find I don't have the spit now I did as a kid. I've also found that my spit hasn't been working well as a defogger, compared to baby shampoo.
$1 at walmart bought a big bottle of generic baby shampoo, it should be enough to last several years.

Of course, there's always the $10/2oz bottle of sweat distilled from the thighs of Italian virgins, but yeah... Baby Shampoo is more readily available.

shampoo is cheeper!!!
Start with a dry mask. Put a small amount of baby shampoo (any soap will work - dishwashing liquid works best of all, but Johnson's will not burn your eyes and it's almost as good) on the interior of the lens. Rub is all over the lenses. Let it dry on the lens. I like to put mine on the night before. Rinse it lightly just before you get in the water.
