Self Defense Gear For Women

By Lena Stephenson


Ladies are almost always the targets of street mugs which would result in a lot of rape and assault cases. So for the ladies out there, it is actually essential to carry the proper self defense gear when going out in the streets at night. So for those who are not very aware of self defense items, here is a list of some of the best ones.

Now probably the most popular among the ladies would be the pepper spray because it is the most common self defense item. Now this is simply a spray filled with chemical ingredients that is mixed with some chili peppers inside. Of course it is easy to use as all one has to do is pull it out and spray some at an attacker to bring him down.

Of course there is another variation that one can use which is more expensive but of course more effective. Now this variant is known as the tear gas and is actually more effective than the ordinary can of pepper spray. If an attacker will take even one squirt of this tear gas, he will definitely fall to his knees and start crying.

Now one other very popular things that a lot of women would buy would be the taser. Now there are many kinds of tasers that one can own and they all come in may different shapes and sizes. The most common one would of course be the regular taser which is a rectangle gadget that can emit volts that can actually electrocute a person.

Now one of the variants that a lot of women would actually like would be the lipstick shaped one. Just as the name implies, it looks exactly like a lipstick that is big. Now one of the great things about this variant is that if an attacker is about to mug a woman, the woman can just hold on to it without the attacker knowing that it is a weapon.

Of course there are going to be some instances when one will not be able to pull out a taser or a pepper spray. So the best thing to do would be to carry a weapon that can be used for striking the opponent right away. The best one would of course be the retractable metal baton that can be used to hit assailants.

Now there are also going to be times when one will be trapped in a lock or probably will be pinned down to the ground. So when this happens, one will not be able to use her baton since the distance is too close. So the best alternative to that would of course be a kubaton which is a small metal pen that is used for stabbing vital points.

Now for the women out there who always work late, these weapons can definitely be very useful. Of course one has to make sure that she is very careful when she would use those weapons. If she is not careful, then she could actually be apprehended for misuse of self defense weapons.
