I've tried several brands and models of silicone pads and "chicken fillets" , most are not large enough to produce a full 40B or 42B cup volume given my current scant A cup chest. I did my homework using the technique often employed by plastic surgeons pre-op for test driving various implant volumes prior to settling on a desired cup size--the rice in stocking trick. I figured out that I needed about 300 mL of added volume to produce an ample 40B cup volume, about 400-450 mL for a 42B (or 40C). I did not like the idea of breastforms since I have enough tissue volume that provides a very natural contour with added volume at the bottom of the cup and was not seeking a very large cup size, rather a demure B.
Finally, the solution I found was the Softleaves X99. It's very soft, high grade silicone gel encapsulated in PU giving a very natural feel nearly identical to real breast tissue and very comfortable to wear, seat perfectly in a 40B cup. I am almost unaware I am wearing them. They comes in various sizes, the large is just under 300 mL volume and works perfectly for me, provides the shape I want and are invisible even with unpadded lace bras as long as not very sheer or frankly see-through fabric. They are available directly from the company in the UK, shipped quickly and of reasonable but not cheap price. Thy make quite an array of enhancement pads and devices of various size and shape, the best selection I've run across thus far.
Curious what others have used or prefer...
