Rape-aXe, an anti-rape device invented in South Africa, is gaining popularity.

It is a tube-like structure with barbs embedded inside, and worn as a tampon. When there is forceful vaginal intercourse, the device locks the penis causing the perpetrator excruciating pain. Rape-aXe can only be surgically removed, increasing the chances that the police will be alerted.
