OWN DEFENSE – Blog

Unfortunately, self defense is something everyone should learn, especially women. Most women know who their attacker is. This makes it that much more difficult to trust your instincts when a potentially dangerous situation comes up. If they know and trust their attacker, women might not see the attack coming. For many of these women, self defense products can be a life saver. They just have to be prepared and have the right product with them.
There are a variety of products out there made especially for self defense. There are many different types of pepper spray out in the market today. Pepper spray is a non lethal type of self defense product that can be hidden in a variety of different everyday looking objects. The beauty of having a pepper spray is that they come in small enough sizes that they can be placed in your pocket or on your key chain so that it is ready for you to use in a moments notice. Another self defense non lethal product is having a personal alarm. There are alarms for your home and car but you can also get an alarm that you can carry in your purse or pocket. The idea behind a personal alarm is the same as your car alarm. The loud noise will scare off the attack and bring attention to your situation. Personal alarms come in many different types and sizes. They can be combined with a defense spray or a flashlight to serve a dual purpose. There are also many different types of alarms available should you travel a lot. There are alarms that act as a doorstop to block a door from being opened and there are alarms that will hang on a doorknob that will sound should someone touch the door know trying to open it.
Another self defense product that is very popular among women is the stun gun. There are a lot of different types of stun guns to choose from. A stun gun is best for close contact, say when an attack grabs you. You have to physically touch the gun to the person. They use a high voltage to temporarily disable the attacker giving you time to run away. Very similar to the stun gun is the taser. Unlike the stun gun, a victim doesn’t have to touch the attacker with it because the taser shoots small probes that attach to the attacker.
While these are just a few examples of the different types of products available for self defense. The best self defense product for you will depend on your specific needs. For more information on the different products available, check out our website.
