Can the rapist turn IDENAx in-side-out and reinsert it back into the women? No. The design of IDENAx makes this impossible.

Can the hooks/barbs engage the woman after being inserted? No. The barbs are only on the interior of the device. There is a protective barrier preventing any contact between the barbs and the woman wearing the device.

Can the IDENAx get “lost” inside my body? No. In addition to the cervix being too small, the walls of the vagina will hold the IDENAx in place until you decide it is time to remove it.

What happens when he gets soft/ flaccid? The IDENAx Device was designed to be able to adjust to a wide range of penis diameters, including penis on the “small” size or when the penis is flaccid. The outer sheath is very elastic and can stretch to ccommodate large penis diameters as well. The hard, pointed barbs project deep into the inner cavity of the IDENAx device, ensuring the barbs penetrate deep into the shaft of the penis, even if it is flaccid. The direction of the barbs are pointed inward, to allow the penis to enter without any obstruction, but dig in when the penis tries to with draw. The harder you attempt to pull the device off, the deeper the barbs will dig in and more painful it will become (Think “Chinese Finger Trap” practical joke device). Furthermore, the outer sheath acts like a compression stocking, driving in the barbs and keeping them in contact with the penis at all times whether it is erect or flaccid or “small”. So the simple answer is “No, it will not come off of a small or flaccid penis”.

Can’t the assailant remove IDENAx himself by cutting it with scissors? Embedded in the elastic protective sheath is a web of hard plastic material with the barbs. The elastic sheath keeps the device in tight contact against the skin of the penis. The sheath is very thick and durable and not easy to cut. The hard internal webbing is even more difficult to cut. It would be very difficult and risky for an untrained assailant to attempt to remove the device from himself with a pair of scissors or pocket knife, without the HIGH risk of cutting himself or causing permanent and serious injury. In addition, the assailant will be in severe and debilitating pain, that will limit his ability to control delicate motor skills needed to conduct surgery on himself. This is why we STRONGLY recommend this device is ONLY removed by a qualified clinician. On the chance that the assailant would attempt to remove the device himself, it provides the woman ample time to escape or fight back, as she chooses. All materials are hypoallergenic and have undergone biocompatibility testing.
