RAPEXTM is a new product that was developed to empower women to defend themselves against rapists. RAPEXTM is a device used by women to prevent rape and to identify the rapist. The RAPEXTM prototype was launched on 31 August 2005, at Kleinmond, Cape Province, South Africa.

Anyone heard about this, got this link through a random facebook group invite. In theory this sounds like a sound idea. But having read the FAQ they could just as easily cause mass hysteria. Suggesting you wear it any time you travel alone, are on a train, go to a club. Seems like a marketing/money make scheme before a rape preventer if you ask me.

Won't the rapist kill me?

Sadly, many women have been killed over time, as nobody can guarantee the outcome of any rape! However, the huge plus-factor is that the discomfort and pain is such, that the rapist would be disabled temporarily, (much worse than a kick in the groin that self-defence instructors teach women!) giving you time to get away and get help.

Just seems like a website designed to scare women into buying the product...

Can classic songs adorn them so they don't get raped by Girls Aloud?

The supposed item in question!

I have no idea if this is a hoax or not tbh! But the webbo seems to take itself quite seriously!

Does this mean I cannot have sex with my husband or partner?

Yes you can, but you will not wear it when you are with your husband or partner in bed, unless you are in a violent relationship and you do get raped by your husband or partner. The choice is then yours whether to wear it or not.

sounds like it has been written by a year 7 student doing some sex ed.

Wouldn't the rapist be able to tell that the woman has something in her **** and just remove it before raping her?
Then probably hit her in the face a couple of extra time for the extra effort
