Women?s Self Defense Products- which one to use?

Posted by yashi ganguly on March 6th, 2018

Gone are the days when women were restricted in the movement for fear of what people will say or the fear of anti-social elements. Women today, venture out of their house for work and leisure, both during day and at night.  But the threat of anti-social elements not only continues to be a reality but has increased at an alarming rate.

The need for women’s self-defense products:

1. Women have started to venture out of their homes for various activities- work, emergency, kids, leisure, family commitments, and so on. The march of progress cannot be turned back or denied.
2. At the same time, we cannot turn a blind eye to the harsh reality of life, especially life in big cities. As new families settle in big cities, industrialization brings in blue collar workers in search of temporary jobs. This admix often leaves room for certain people to enter our daily lives at several places – vendors, cab drivers, maids. 
3. We have no option but to rely on them. This leaves us open to possible danger several times during the day.
4. The best way to deal with this risk is not to retreat within the four walls of the home but to take steps towards self-defense.
5. Keeping this requirement in mind, sellers have come up with innovative products that are a handy means of self-defense products.

Which is the most popular self-defense product for women?

Pepper spray has come up as a very popular self-defense product among women. The reason behind its popularity is easy to guess. We can put down the reasons as follows:

1. Pepper spray is small and easy to carry.
2. It is very effective in taking the assailant by surprise.  It is easy to operate and can easily be aimed to hit the assailant in the eye. The pepper stings the assailant’s eye and renders him temporarily blind.
3. This gives the victim time enough to flee or if in an area where she can find people nearby, call for help.

What to look for when deciding on a pepper spray?

1. Look for a spray that fits into your bag or purse. If you find a seller who sells different sizes, try to see which size best fits into your purse.
2. Handy: Before making a purchase, check whether you can operate the cap and if it is spill-proof.
3. Expiry Date: a must check before buying the spray.

A pepper spray is a useful self-defense product for women – a must-have for their daily safety needs.
