I found that a simple solution which dramatically reduced the amount of
embarrassing water on the trousers was to always put the instrument on
my lap with the valve slides *down*. This way, the water in the slides
doesn't drain into the valves when you're not playing.

Emptying the valve slides regularly I take as read.
