The company only has a male model right now, capable of altering its shape into 2,000 different configurations. "It can be as beer-belllied or gym toned as you are," Haldre said. "And we can show you how a small versus a medium fits on you, for example."
There's a female model in the works due out in November, though Haldre's staff is apparently still working out the kinks: "My engineers now have the best job in the world:Studying women's breasts."
