sponges and towels get wetter themselves - the question is 'what gets YOU wetter the more IT dries?'

The sun? makes you sweat while it dries things out. Probably not exactly what you are looking for.

An easy one for Hobbits:
Alive without breath,
As cold as death,
Never thirsty, always drinking,
Clad in mail, never clinking.
