luciferlaughs: One very popular but horrifying torture instrument that was used mainly in Germany and France was known as nothing but the Breast Ripper. This instrument was used on women who were suspected of self-performed abortion or adultery, even witchcraft. Typically, the iron tool was heated before entrapping a single breast and tearing it off. If the woman did not die, she would be severely disfigured for the rest of her life. This torture was often done in front of the victim’s children. -- source link
