Her
prototype - a plastic car squeegee that she re-molded in boiling
hot water - convinced her of the vast potential of the Bodyflik.
After several weeks of experimenting and refining, Wendy designed
the original Bodyflik, basing it on a French curve which emulates
the curves of the human body.
Wendy
subsequently worked for several months with a specialist manufacturer,
Orion Industries, based in High Wycombe, where she learned about
the design, prototyping and manufacture of plastics, and indoctrinated
herself in the world of CAD/CAM, injection molding, and sonic welding.
Confident that the Bodyflik would be a worldwide success, Wendy
has patented the Bodyflik and invested her life savings in the manufacturing
and marketing of the Bodyflik.
The
Bodyflik was first manufactured and sold in 2005, closely followed
by a smaller version, the Bodyflik Sport, which is designed
to fit in a washbag when going to the gym. The
Bodyflik has now been sold throughout the world, most of these sales
being generated through word of mouth recommendations, enthusiastic
reviews in newspapers, magazines and web blogs, and through numerous
television appearances.
