The best humidity solution I've found is to set my shower up as a humidifier. Puts out a lot of humidity that spreads throughout the house. Doesn't need any cleaning, refilling, etc. Total cost on Amazon, like $40 (probably cheaper from Home Depot). Picture of my setup: https://imgur.com/a/Oca4USg

I did that with 4-5 products: A shower head splitter, a shower->hose adapter, a mister, and anti-leak tape.

Splitter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0064TXLHA/

Adapter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GYV8G7S/

Elbow connector: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003BZD03K/

Mister (I used just the nozzle and discarded the hose) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004INGNPG/

Anti-leak tape: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003D7K8E0/

Alternatively tried this fogger nozzle which put out too much water and wet my bathroom floor, may work in some shower setups though. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FNYNZZM/

The larger humidifiers come with a humidistat which will keep humidity within say a 5% range. A solution like this may over humidify and requires more frequent intervention.
