For those who are A/B cup and need a cheap form, try Target.  Target has "water push up pads" which cost $5.99 each.  They are very similar to the Amoena 126 Leisure form.

    Hey, thanks for the tip.  I got one at Target today and they work great.  I'm a A/B size but they also had a B/C size.

    I'll look for them. are they in the bra section at your Target?  I'm a small A- how big do they run?

    I checked them out at Target, but didn't purchase (they wouldn't let me try them on). They're in the bra section. They do look as if they could work well for some people. They're not really the same as the Amoena 126 form, though. That form is made of latex foam. The water push-up pads have a combination of oil and water inside (thus the name), with a soft cloth covering. Also, the 126 is triangular in shape. The water push-up pads are kind of oval, similar to the original Still You Illusion form in shape, but with a "push-up" back.

    Always great to learn about new options, especially such affordable ones!

    These are great for those who do not have insurance.  Also, I have several of these and wear them with a padded bra and they look completely natural.  I don't know if they would work for those with C cup or more.

    I went online and checked out what they have.  They have an "enhancer" that looks more triangular, rather then oval.  I saw the push-up pads at Target, and they wouldn't work for me.  They didn't have the enhancer at the Target near me, so I couldn't say if it would work or not.  From the picture on-line, it looks like it might work though.

    I couldn't try them on in the store, but decided that at$ 6 for 2 I wouldn't be out much if they didn't work, They are a little big for me but not bad. For someone small without insurance ( I would guess they would work well for a 34/36 A or equivalent)  or someone needing a short term solution these would work. They are lightweight and relatively comfortable.

    I went to Target to check out those forms and also found a playtex bra with pockets. It's the half sizes too line #7006, for $9.99. Its comfortable and works for me with the push up pad or the Still You illusion inserted. It might be an inexpensive spare for some of you. I don't know why it has the pocket. I looked and couldn't find any other bra with them.
