Personal Security Devices Women Can Not Afford To Ignore In 2021

Personal security is something a lot of people don’t like thinking or talking about because no one wants to imagine something bad happening to them or their loved ones, but if the worse ever happens you want to be prepared. In this article we will be talking about non lethal devices women can use for self protection.

“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

Benjamin Franklin

Before we get in to the “meat and potatoes” of the article (For some of you it might lettuce and carrots!), here are some staggering statistics.

Personal GPS Locator: InvisaWear Smart Jewelry Line:

The InvisaWear Smart Jewelry line are wearable pieces of safety. They are essentially personal GPS locators that send an alert to five contacts of your choosing with your location. They also are embedded with the option to contact the police.

To use you just double click the button on the back of the charm.

Here are just a few of the options available.

Tazers

Also known as “stun guns”. Deliver an electro shock to incapacitate an attacker. The electric shock temporarily disrupts muscle functions and inflicts pain without usually causing significant injury. This is the most lethal of the “non lethal: options.

Pepper spray

Pepper spray uses the capsaicin of the pepper. That is to say it uses the spiciness of the pepper to cause irritation of the eyes, pain, burning sensation, and temporary blindness. This would allow you to stun your attacker and get away.

Pepper spray can also be used against animals such as bears. mountain lions, wolves, dogs, etc.

Police forces and prisons have adopted use of this non lethal security device allowing officers to have a leg up against the criminal element.

Personal Alarm Devices

There are many different kinds of these available on the market today. These are small handheld electronic devices that emit a loud siren like alarm sound.

To use them they are activated by button or tag pull. They are used to attract attention in order to scare off an assailant. The sound can also distract or disorient the attacker.

The problem with these type of devices is they can give the owner a false sense of security and therefore place the individual in danger.

For example, if you are in the city, car alarms go off all the time. People ignore this sound. That can happen with a personal alarm as well.

Personal alarms do not offer any real protection. You just have to hope the noise is enough to scare off the attacker or that some passerby notices.

Basically, personal alarms are not our favorite option but they are better than nothing. They are also on the cheaper end of the scale.

Home Door Blocks

While a home security system is something that that is nice to have it can be too expensive.

Luckily there are several styles of door blocks that can be purchased that will help secure your home without being a permanent monthly expense.

These items will not be monitored like a home security system, but will help stop a home invasion or at least make enough noise to alert the home owner and allow them to call for help.

Window alarms

Like the door blocks mentioned, window alarms are an easy way to help add added security to your home, apartment, or office without the monthly fees that would come with an alarm company.

While in no means is it 100% secure and safe, it will allow you to sleep a little easier knowing that an alarm will sound if the windows are tampered with.

Knuckle Dusters

Knuckle Dusters are small hand held devices that attach to a keychain or necklace . They work like brass knuckles. In an emergency, they allow you to use a weapon against your attacker. They will protect your knuckles themselves and allow you to have a much stronger hit than you would normally have.

These devices are legal unlike brass knuckles.

Final Thoughts

While some of these products are better than others in our opinion, all of them can help offer an advantage in a dire situation allowing you a chance to escape an attacker without massive amounts of training.

These are Personal Security Devices Women should have on their person to keep them from becoming a victim of an attack.

Whether you choose one of these devices or another one available on the market please keep your personal safety in mind.
