It occurs to me that if devices like this start getting more popular and well-known, rapists will start 'feeling around' before they start to make sure the woman isn't using one.

From their FAQ:

"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-defense instructors teach women!) giving you time to get away and get help."

*YIKES*

I think those things would leave a pretty distinctive set of cuts on a man's penis. If they inflicted any little damage, the guy would likely seek medical help - and a doctor could quickly determine the man may have attacked a woman. If the guy didn't seek help, I'd hope the cuts get infected and it falls off. Serves the b*****d right!
