    Yes, I have a pair. They're size A, but actually I think they look more like a small B when on. I hadn't found a bra I really liked them with, but recently tried them with a little Maidenform bralette and they look quite good. They're very light and soft and I think a nice option for daily wear.

    I also have the Still You camisole, which I love, but oddly I can't wear the Still You breast forms with it (even though the website says you can) as they hang too low. When I wear the cami, I use unweighted leisure forms by Amoena (Style 126). Very comfortable for exercise!

    Omag, what kind of bra do you wear with the Still You forms?

    I bought Takeouts silicone enhancers just before my dx in March to help enhance my mommy boobs as I was just weaning my baby girl. I've since had a bilateral mastectomy and I used the Takeouts today inside a pocketed bra with the small foamie that came with my petite size Softee. For the first time I felt that I looked natural, and they feel natural to the touch through your clothes (unlike the foamies..I always felt it when hugging people)! They are made of 100% medical grade silicone gel in polyurethane shell. Cost me $48/pair from www.thebetterboobjob.com. Now if I can just figure out what to do with the water bra I bought!

    Erica, I wear the Breat Illusions with a Still You bra, camisole and lounge bra as I'm still tender from the last mastectomy. Wanda

    If you have a Dillards store in your area they have the enhancers for like 50 dollars, they also have some very nice bras and camisole type bras and yes strapless that have pockets and those also come with some padding that you could take out if need.
    I'm going to check my local Walmart and see what they have.
    Thanks for the info,
    Cindy

    I found enhancers at both Wal Mart and Target for @ $16. They didn't have a lot, but you might get lucky.

    I think they sell the pocket bra and enhancers at JC Penney too - online at least. the bra didn't work well for my remaining breast but it was nice otherwise and not expensive (compared to mast bras!). Another note re mast bras - noticed the new Classique (think it's# 796 - comes in white, beige, brown, black) is soft and comfy and pretty, though not fit my remaining breast well on the top (I'm not round enough) for those looking for something comfy.

     I read an earlier post but can't find it now re not getting size wanted at fitter's - I find as a small size (34A) they tend to want to push product on me I don't want or isn't really right for me (like a pros that droops too much, or bras not really fit or feel right) as I think they end up with product in small sizes they can't sell easily - I tend to be meek and emotional so don't speak up enough. If that person who was sold wrong items, has a "strong" personality friend or family member who can go with her or maybe talk to store on phone first (I can be 'tougher' on the phone I notice vs in person), that might get a return or exchange.

    Found Fashion Forms at Macy's too! tried on both the $50 and the $32 dollar types - the "half and half" ($32) seem to work well in a Playtex TGIF 34 nearlyB bra - thanks, LauraGTO, for the find!

    i found some at my fabric store (less than 15,00.  I'm quite small so it was easy for me to tape one inside a teen bra  (ha ha)
