For protection, women can use a variety of self-defense tools. These include Tactical pens, tactical pens, keychain pepper-spray, and TigerLady. These self defense tools can give attackers a false sense if they are legal in many countries. They are an excellent way to protect yourself and train your muscles, but be aware that these tools can cause you to become less attentive and reduce your defenses.
Stun guns
When choosing a self-defense tool for women, you need to make sure that it has a good amount of power. Although stun guns can be deadly and can eliminate the most powerful of attackers, they are heavy and bulky. Stun guns connect electrodes to the victim's bodies, creating an electricity circuit and sending a high voltage signal. This shock causes the victim to become unconscious or freeze.
Pepper spray Keychain
Pepper spray keychains have become a popular form of self defense for women. Although not all keychains are equally effective, they can help protect women in a variety of situations. The disclaimers often aren't immediately obvious. Many merchants do not include them on their product listing or website. If you have to file legal action, a disclaimer is helpful. It will also prevent you from "hiding the truth" in a situation where you are in danger. The U.S. is not clear on the distinction between self defense and assault. For example, not all states permit stun guns or pocket knives.
Tactical pen
A tactical pen can be a useful weapon in self-defense situations. If the pen's pointed end is not used correctly, it can prove to be a very painful weapon. The pen can be used in emergencies and is easy to carry openly. Women should practice the proper use of tactical pens in training before they are ever needed. You should be capable of recognizing an attacker by the pen's pointed end, and then striking it in the attackers legs or hands.
TigerLady
The TigerLady is lightweight and portable self-defense tool designed for women. It features three ultra-sharp claws which are used to extract DNA from attackers. The claws measure less than 4 inches in length and have a DNA channel to aid in identification. Unlike conventional knives, the TigerLady is lightweight and can be used while running. The lightweight design means that you don't have to carry a heavy weapon that could cause discomfort.
Personal alarms
Among the self defense tools for women, personal alarms are an excellent choice. They emit a high-pitched, loud noise that commands attention. This can be used to call for help and alert others. Many personal alarms include LED flashlights as well as pull-out alarm chords for your assistance in times of crisis. These devices are easy to attach to your keys, purse, backpack, or other convenient places. Below are some benefits of personal alarms that women can enjoy.
