I use old contact lens solution bottles which end up being perfect for this. They have a tiny hole which lets you control the amount of water, and they have a cap attached with a plastic strap so you can close them up to avoid spills.

Anyone who is a contact lens wearer ends up through tons of these away (which is a shame).

I generally just keep a dixie cup next to my sponge, but this works too!

I also bought an extra water bottle from the chem department in college and used that a while ago as well, it squirts water when you squeeze it and no tipping is required.

Nice idea, when I read the title I had visions of an automatic drip system that sensed low moisture in the pad…

I always use soy sauce bottles for this. They work well but having glass lying around can be risky.
