I wouldn't place the actual dampit inside the instrument. I would lay it
alongside the clarinet. You wouldn't want the instrument to absorb too
much moisture and then swell and crack. There isn't too much room
for the air to circulate inside of the clarinet.

I use sponges myself. They seem to work well. They are ALWAYS
dry the next morning. Sometimes I use orange peels too.

This of course is my own personal opinion....
