It's essentially a perforated rubber tube with sponge inside. It goes into the sound hole and curls around inside. You soak it every week or two. My only apprehension is when I soak it. Although I wipe it down, I don't trust that it won't leak water on the inside of my precious uke... so I lay it beside the headstock for a couple of days (and keeping the humidity up in the case). But that's probably me being paranoid. I have Dampit (http://www.dampits.com/) humidifier that I bought at the same time as my Kiwaya KTS-4 soprano.

The Herco (clay/black container) just doesn't compare. My only complaint is once you fill the unit with water, it doesn't stay horizontal in the sound hole as described - I'll try less water next time.

I got one for my Kanilea Concert and just purchased another for my Pono tenor which, unfortunately, has dried out just a bit and developed a buzz. The Oasis is easy to fill (comes with a syringe that injects the water into the flexible tube). You can watch the tube, over time, gently collapse as water molecules go through and out the tube into your uke case. Very well designed, high quality. And the device hangs on two strings within your uke's body so the moisture goes where it is most needed. Definitely worth a look and in my opinion much better than the Herco design which I used before. Oasis has come out with a uke humidifier.
