The hydrophobic sections promote rapid water droplet accumulation, while the hydrophilic sections enhance the transportation of these droplets, allowing for faster coalescence and collection.

"When water anoles dive, their hydrophobic ("water-repelling") skin keeps a slick of air over the body surface," Swierk said. As the anoles exhale and inhale, the bubble expands and collapses.

This spray, which has a 4.5-star average rating from 9,580 reviews on Amazon, also uses a hydrophobic (water resistant) coating to protect the outside of shoes, according to the brand.
