 What!! They are about £12 here (about $20 I think) and  available in the

That was a couple of years ago at least, maybe three (I can't remember who I 
was pregnant with then).  Our Breastfeeding Task Force was astonished at the 
price and the advert.  I have not known any one who has used them either.  As 
you can guess, they were pretty cost prohibitive when they first came out and 
no one on the task force was willing to shell out $100 to evaluate them.  I 
have never seen them in any retail store nor have I had any inquiries from 
moms.  Any one in the US seen them at Target?
