In a perfect world there would be no use to defend ones self because no one would ever get attacked, but that is a pipe dream. Don't allow yourself to become the victim take your peace of mind and security back and put it in your purse! There are a number of quality defense items that fit discreetly and safely into your bag, so you are prepared if things should ever get out of hand. Let's check out some of the options available.  

Pepper Spray and Mace Guns 
There are a ton of options in this category. A very popular option is the pepper shot key chain that fits onto any set of keys, so your protection is always at hand. It is simple to use just point and push. Mace guns can fit securely in your purse and come in a variety of colors pink, black, and silver. Neutralize a threat in style! There are also hidden pepper shots that look like ordinary tubes of lipstick. Prepare yourself for defense without tipping off your potential assailant that you are on to them.

Stun Guns 
These are great for non-lethal neutralization. When you get hit by a good stun you will go down. There are so many different options for stun guns. There are standard looking tasers, there are stuns that are disguised as tubes of lipstick and are rechargeable in any wall socket, there are others disguised as cellular phones, and there are stun batons. All of these options can discreetly fit into any standard purse. Safety is a big issue for women, but you don't have to be the victim. Take control for yourself, and be sure that you are prepared should a situation go south.

12 Pepper Spray Facts

1. Women, when looking for a personal protection product and being unwilling to carry a firearm, often choose pepper spray to grant that special edge over an often larger, stronger male attacker. 
2. The reasons are its immediate and persistent effects that can incapacitate an attacker and its ease of use. 
3. Pepper spray is a favorite form of nonlethal defense for law enforcement agencies. 
4. Pepper spray canisters can also look fashionable, since a woman needs to be able to properly accessorize while protecting herself. They come in a variety of colors (including pink) and one can also purchase an attractive holster to go along with it. 
5. HowStuffWorks reports that the essential ingredient of pepper spray is an extract of chili peppers in an aerosol can. 
6. It can come in the form of a can that looks like a pepper spray can or in something innocuous looking like lipstick. 
7. The woman being attacked will spray her attacker directly in the face to get the maximum effect. 
8. The immediate effect of pepper spray is an intense, burning sensation. 
9. To imagine what it feels like, think of how one’s mouth feels when biting down on a chili pepper and then magnify it by 10 or even 100, depending on the amount of pepper spray used and its potency. 
10. The painful, burning sensation lasts for several seconds, long enough for a woman to get away to safety and to call law enforcement. 
11. One persistent effect can be the temporary blinding of the attacker that can last up to 30 minutes.
12. A woman considering buying pepper spray should make herself aware of state and local laws concerning its purchase and use. Some states and localities have an age limit for the purchase of pepper spray. Others restrict where it can be carried for use. It goes without saying that one cannot take a pepper spray canister onto an airliner. With these legal matters taken into consideration, pepper spray remains a great option for personal defense.

The Key To Personal Safety Is Prevention... But You Still Need To Be Ready

Just because you don't go out looking for trouble doesn't mean it isn't going to find you. Everything from harassment to assault might be just around the next corner, waiting for a woman like you to walk on by. While it's a good idea to have a way to defend yourself (a taser, a stun gun, pepper spray, etc.) prevention is another tool in your arsenal that shouldn't be overlooked. Useful prevention tips include;

Situational Awareness
Perhaps the most important prevention skill anyone can have is being aware of their surroundings. While you don't need to be able to recall every detail of what's happening like a paranoid superhero, it's important to take a look around from time to time. Look at people, and measure the atmosphere of the room. If you don't notice there are four huge men wielding machetes and wearing hockey masks until you've already gotten your first drink it may be too late to make an easy, graceful exit.

Analyze The Problem
When you are confronted with a situation that could escalate you need to look at it and judge the threat level. Is the cat-caller on his front porch a harmless irritant, or is he going to be one of the harassers who will do more than talk? Will staying quiet and ignoring him solve the problem? Will saying something make it stop? While it isn't fair that the onus on safety is so often on women it is important to know what decision to make to de-escalate something before it gets out of hand.

Bring Back Up
It's a great idea to avoid going somewhere alone if possible. Whether it's another friend, or a group of them, there is safety in numbers. That isn't always a choice, but when you have the option it's a great way to prevent incidents before they occur.

Be Ready In Case You Can't Prevent Something
No matter how careful you are sooner or later a situation is likely to happen that you couldn't have prevented except by hiding under your bed behind a locked door. When these incidents come along it's important for a woman to have a method of self-defense that she's comfortable with, and that she is willing to use.
