The first few women to wear them would be taking their lives in their hands. A rapist would be very angry to discover a cocklebur stuck to his dick. The woman would be killed.

Eventually, after the word got around, I think it would work to reduce the astronomical number of South African rapes. If enough women wore them often enough that guys had to view rape as a game of Russian roulette, I think it would be a huge deterrent. It simply wouldn't be worth the risk to the rapists.

This strikes me as an arms race of sorts. The victims arm themselves with cocklebur tampons. Maybe the rapists would next learn a trick to remove it, like stick a sacrificial hot dog in first. At least then the women would know the rapists in advance, since they would be the ones walking around with hot dogs.
