Picture: Anti-Rape female condom

A South African, Sonnet Ehlers was inspired to create the anti-rape condom after she came across several rape victims but most especially when one of the victim after going through the horror of rape said she wished she had teeth on her vagina.

HOW IT WORKS:
The Rape-axe is a latex sheath embedded with shafts of sharp, inward-facing barbs that would be worn by a woman in her vagina like a female condom. If an attacker were to attempt vaginal rape, his penis would enter the latex sheath and be snagged by the barbs, causing the attacker excruciating pain during withdrawal and giving the victim time to escape. The condom would remain attached to the attacker’s body when he withdrew and could only be removed surgically, which would alert hospital staff and police.

Although the condom is gaining awareness, it is yet to be marketed for sale.
