I bought this recently. I have eyed them for a few years now, but just haven't taken the step to purchase one. I have been using the heels of bread to keep the Brown Sugar moist in my container after I had opened the bag. This one is made by http://www.brownsugardiscs.com/. It's a cute little bear....so my grandchildren should like it!
The instructions state that you should "soak (the) disc in water for 15 minutes, then pat dry. Place your disc in with your brown sugar. Your disc will keep your brown sugar soft for up to 3 months. When your sugar begins to harden, re-soak and re-use disc".

Then soaked the disc in water.
After drying it with a paper towel, I dropped it into my Brown Sugar container.
