Self Defense Gear For Women

By Lena Stephenson


Women are always in fear of going home late at night alone because of the rise of many rape and mug cases that have popped up. Of course in order for them to even up the playing field, a lot of self defense gear for women was made so that women do not need to be scared to walk the streets at night. Here are some that the ladies can buy.

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.

Now another variant of the pepper spray is known as the tear gas spray which works pretty much the same as the pepper spray. Now the only difference is that the tear gas spray has a bigger container and it is much stronger than the pepper spray. One spray of that in an attacker and the attacker will literally be on his knees.

Now if one does not like to buy a spray, then she can always buy a stun gun or more popularly known as the taser. Now the taser is great because they all come in different variants depending on what the buyer wants. Of course the normal one is just rectangular and it can shock an attacker really bad.

Of course for women, there are many kinds of tasers that can be owned in order to suit their needs. There would also be the lipstick taser which is shaped like a big lipstick and can be pulled out easily. The great thing about this variant is that an attacker will not have a clue that the lipstick actually contains a taser and will be surprised when he gets shocked.

Of course one might find herself in a position wherein she will not have enough time to prepare any of these items to defend herself. So in this type of situation, it is better to have a striking weapon that can be ready for use right away like a baton. A baton is retractable and packs a wallop on the receiver.

There is another variation of this called the kubaton which is a small metal pen that is used for short range. Now if one is caught in a lock, then she cannot use the baton to hit the attacker because the attacker is too near. So the best thing she can do is use the kubaton to do a short range attack like a stab attack to the eye or the groin.

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.
