The Breast Ripper, known in another form as the Iron Spider or simply The Spider, was a fictional torture instrument mainly used on women who were accused of adultery or self-performed abortion. The instrument was designed to rip the breasts from a woman and was made from iron, which was usually heated.

Description

The Breast Ripper was often used heated during torture and it contained four claws, which were used to slowly rip the breasts from women for various crimes. The instrument would be imposed onto a single breast of the woman. They were designed to shred, or tear off the breasts of the victim. If the woman did not die, she would be horribly disfigured for the rest of her life.

Spider

The Spider, also known as the Iron Spider, was a torture device similar to the Breast Ripper. The Iron Spider would have been attached to the wall, and the woman's breasts were fixed onto the claws of the tool. The victim was then pulled away from the wall, tearing off her breasts. Another variant of this included spiked bars affixed slightly away from the wall. The victim would have been pulled along the bars until her breasts were ripped off.
