A group of Swedish teenage girls has designed a belt that requires two hands to remove and which they hope will deter would-be rapists, one of the creators told AFP on Tuesday.
"It's like a reverse chastity belt," one of the creators, 19-year-old Nadja Björk, told AFP, meaning that the wearer is in control, instead of being controlled.
The military-style buckle has a latch that the wearer has to move through a labyrinth into the correct position in order to unlock the belt.
"You need two hands to open it, so the rapist can't hold you down and open it at the same time. It takes a while to figure it out if you don't know what you're doing," she said.

For best results wear with a pig amulet.

picture. Looks like any other belt with military buckle.
The best chastity belt in Sweden is illegal - a .45 ACP device.
LOL. Some threads just write their own responses...:)
That should hold the Islamists at bay....
Borne out of necessity due to the Islamic population, no doubt.
This has to be about the dumbest thing I've read this month.
This does, however, raise a question. Is rape that common in Sweden?
Hope someone does not need to pee in a hurry.
IMHO, a good old-fashioned GLOCK 10mm would be a better deterrent.
They apparently aren't adherents to the Bobby Knight philosphy.
Not sure if the belt is leather or what, but could likely be cut with a pocket knife.
"Nobody ever raped a .38"
"IMHO, a good old-fashioned GLOCK 10mm would be a better deterrent."
Agreed!
Unfortunately this most likely would get the victim killed.
There is no passive defense to rape. The best defence to rape is attack. The best attack is just like the lads here say....a firearm, training to use it and a lisence to carry.
Nothing like Euro passiveness. ( Haa Haa you can't rape me, I've a belt on !!, Out comes a knife, belt comes off!)
I think Clinton had both hands free when he was biting her lip...
Are you sure you read my post correctly?
This was invented in Sweden? You mean to tell me that after years of incessant lecturing from across the pond about how America is a "brutish" country full of mysogynistic rednecks, it turns out Europe has a rape problem?
Who knew?
/sarcasm
Is Rape common in Sweden ?
Well. . .it's the number one choice of Muslim Immigrants these days.
I'm sure you can make the obvious connection: after all, these aren't Moose-limb women getting raped, just sinful Swedish infidels. . . .
