More and more become available every month- Your problem was also seen with CFLs until they offered more sizes and form factors.

If you shop around between the different home improvement stores you might find the right fit-- Feit, Phillips, EcoSmart and others are sold, but at different stores (not all that Home Depot carry are also at Lowe's, for example).

If you can't find what will fit in a medium Edison base (the typical screw type), you might find something smaller with an intermediate base, and then use an adapter.

Not sure what lighting equivalent you're looking for (40W, 60W, 75W or 100W), but Feit has a range that look smaller than typical incandescents:
