I have used them and do not recommend them. They are a two piece design, with the base glued to the actual form. After repeated inserting and removing from the socket, the glue gives way and the base separates from the form. 

There is a fellow reproducing the polystyrene forms. They are a little pricier at $10 each, but might be worth it if they last.
