South African doctor invents "anti-rape" female condoms with "teeth" - Boing Boing

South African doctor invents "anti-rape" female condoms with "teeth" - Boing Boing: "Sonnet Ehlers, a doctor in South Africa, has designed, patented, and manufactured an 'anti-rape female condom' with the unambiguous brand name Rape-aXe. Women who believe they are at high risk of being raped insert the device into themselves like a tampon, and wear it around indefinitely as a form of protection when anticipating risk. The 'teeth' inside cause intense pain and potential injury to a male upon penetration, and basically clamp down, making exit from the device painful. The thing does leave damage."
