I guess all these tips are good... In theory...
I don't have a "water-logged" dry fly problem.
My dries aren't on the water long enough to get that way before some bruiser nails them.
My problem is always changing my fish MANGLED flies.
Well, that, and what to do with the dozens of CRUSHED flies. I mean should I just toss them or should I go through the trouble of stripping the hooks and giving them to someone who ties? I want to do my part and recycle/reuse, but the time involved stripping SO MANY beat up flies...
Mac, can you find a video about THAT problem?

No self respecting tyer wants a store bought Taiwanese knock off hook slightly used.
If they're not fishable after you wash off the Chubb slime just toss em.

lol Watch the video and you will see what i mean. That is also used to waterproof feathers on traditional arrows and there is a warning on the bottle when you buy it from the archery supply places. Even on the Frog Fanny bottle there is a warning about inhaling it. But it is hard to avoid, as you can see in the video.
I always wondered where the stuff was used before fly fishermen started with it. The warnings are strictly a cover-your-ass thing for legal purposes, if the stuff was all that dangerous it wouldn't be sold for consumer use. Really, you would have to inhale bottles of the stuff to cause lung damage. Unless you smoke of course, then all bets are off.

Just make your own from paraffin and either lighter fluid or coleman fuel. Cheaper than shit and probably works better than most of the commercial stuff.

Yikes! You know how toxic that stuff is?
No, they don't. Use your damn shirt, like LU says! Only time you need anything more is during a rainstorm.

I need a how to video that teaches how to piss w waders on.
Seriously. I roll em down to my feet, and I still end up pissing all over em.
Admittedly, I got a short hose.
Maybe I should squat?

I carry a short piece of pvc tube to piss through as an extension out away from my waders. Just rinse it off in the water when done and back in your pocket.
Let's see if anybody buys this one.......

If only some genius would invent a fishing diaper. Oh wait, you did.
Seriously that's the answer. Taking all that gear off to piss sucks. Leaving the river sucks. Pissing on your waders sucks. Literally everything about pissing while fishing sucks. The diaper would take care of all of it at once.
In the meantime, the specific problem you're having is really about the last few drips, which never seem to clear the rolled down front of waders, even if you have an enormous thermometer dick like WDLuver.
The trick is to jump backwards with both feet right as you finish. With practice it can be done.

Count your blessings. I have just the opposite problem, I have to watch out for ant hills.

Lol.
It reminds me more of this other song, about how Scotchguard gives you cancer.
But anyway.
