It’s an unfortunate fact of life, but women are the targets of violence in 9/10 instances. Everything from assaults on city streets to home invasions to domestic violence women are the targets in the vast majority of cases. That’s probably why self defense manufacturers have started gearing their products towards appealing to women.
A good indication of that is a number of self-defense products that come in pink. Manufacturers like Mace brand, Stun Master and even Taser have products that come in pink. The C-2 taser was developed specifically for use by women.
In the 10+ years that I’ve been in this business I see what women buy for their self-defense. Here’s a short list of top self defense products for women.
First on the list is the Pink Pretender Stun Gun. It is 4.5 million volts and sure enough there’s a pink model.
Second is the Pink C-2 Taser. Taser is a highly respected nearly 100% effective self defense product and as mentioned was specifically developed for women.
And third is a vast assortment of pepper sprays that come in pink. Most notable is the Mace Pepper Gun.
Those are some of the most popular self defense products for women.
All across the country police departments are joining the Taser revolution. Over 12,000 law enforcement agencies carry and use tasers with more starting every day. When a department makes a decision to use tasers their officers must undergo training. Part of that training is they are subjected to a shot from a taser so they can get a feel for what it’s like.
Another part of the training is learning the ‘use of force policies that include general orders that “clearly and strictly” identify how and when a Taser should be used. Officers are also being trained on the documentation they will have to fill out if they use a Taser.’
Similar trainings are usually at least partially open to the public so they can learn how effective tasers are.
The most popular civilian version of the taser is the C 2 Taser that was specifically developed for use by women. It is considerably smaller than law enforcement models but it does the same thing-shooting out two electrified darts to immobilize a target.
With the crime rate increasing with each passing day, it is important to give prominence to personal safety and ensure you follow simple things to prevent attracting undue attention of criminals. Despite the governments in most countries increasing security measures, it is practically impossible to curb every single crime. However, we can definitely play our part in ensuring we curtail it to the best extent possible.
Though men and women are prone to attacks by criminals, it is the latter that face the brunt most of the time. Some simple tips kept in mind and adhered to will ensure that you don’t put yourself in a situation that warrants desperate help.
As a woman, it is recommended that you don’t attend parties that start late at night and end at wee hours of the morning. If you still have to go, ensure you go with a group of people who you really trust will be by your side at all times. Most often than not, women end up wearing revealing dresses to these events, which garners unnecessary attention from people with unscrupulous intentions. Wearing a sensuous dress is different from wearing a provocative one. While the former is recommended, the latter is forbidden if you don’t want to fall prey to sexual assaults.
Women are most susceptible to attacks by strangers because of their naïve nature. Most of the crimes are committed against women since they are easy to attack and over power. It is not uncommon to see news about women being sexually abused, assaulted or raped, not just by strangers, but also by close family members. If you want to prevent yourself from being a victim of any sort of crime, equip yourself with some tips that can come in handy in times of need.
First of all, project an air of confidence. Don’t be timid and shy in front of strangers giving away the fact that you are ill equipped in case of any danger. If you don’t have time to learn and master a particular type of self defense technique, at least learn the basics so you can escape when being attacked. Don’t wait to be attacked before enrolling for these classes.
There are a number of products that are available in the market today for women. Most of them can be hidden away carefully and carried in the handbags. Ensure you have at least one or two of these self defense products handy at all times. Learn to trust your instincts and run at the first sign of danger. Alert people around you by screaming for help. Don’t hesitate to bite or scratch your attacker. Be agile and mentally prepare yourself to face any danger.
Did you know that any simple thing in your pocket or bag can prove to be very useful when you are suddenly attacked? You need not look out for tools like the pepper spray or taser guns to be safe. Simple things such as the keys, pencils and spare change can prove to be your best friends in times of danger. Are you wondering how?
Keys are among the most powerful handy tools when it comes to protecting yourself from the attacker. Just pull them out of your pocket or bag and use it to stab the attacker on the throat or the eyes. This will not result in permanent damage, but will stun the attacker enough to give you time to make your escape. Pencils, rulers and pens can also work in place of keys.
If you have quite a bit of spare change in your pocket, this is the time to put it to use. Grab as many as possible in your hand and throw it at the face of the attacker. This will throw him off guard and give you time to run away from the spot.
Any aerosol spray in your bag can prove to be as useful as the pepper spray when you are in the face of danger. Pull it out of your bag and spray it over the face of the attacker and run away before he can realize what is happening.

Joggers should always carry some form of personal protection with them on their run. A container of pepper spray weighs next to nothing and can easily be used should the need arise. Runners are targets for predators because a runner is usually engrossed in their run and not paying attention. Especially if they’re listening to music and can’t hear the outside world.
Far too often women are the victims of attack when they don’t need to be. Learning a few self defense tactics can save the day. Even just by reading this you are getting a little edge on your attacker. It is doubtful he is at home reading “How to attack women.”
The most effective technique you can employ is not to get attacked at all. You are most vulnerable when you are on the move, like going to your car. Stay within sight of people as much as possible. Your attacker wants you to be alone. If you are being attacked, don’t let him force you into your car (throw your keys if you have too) or around the corner of the building. Women will often notice that they are being targeted before an attack. If so keep an object between you and him weather it is a car or bench or anything that could slow him down. Just slowing him down might be enough to get him to leave as he only has a small window to work in.
If it appears the attack is imminent then you need to quickly review your options. Is screaming or making noise going to help? Often times it is pointless so it is time for a weapon. Of the personal non-lethal options the stun gun is the most effective as in makes that intimidating crackling. You don’t have something like that? It is time to improvise. An ink pen or keys to the eye is devastating. If you are grabbed from behind and you’re wearing heels you have a great weapon. Even if the heel is ½ inch square on the bottom your 135 pound weight becomes 540 pounds with all your weight on it. If the heels are ¼ inch it goes up to 2100 lbs. Ouch!
You just used one of the 3 strongest part of or body to strike with. The other two are you elbows and the ball of you palm. Use them or go after his weakest targets. You already got one but there is still the groin, harder to hit than it sounds, his trachea, and his face. Eye gouging is great too. If he gets his hands around your neck there is one defense move you need to know; turn your head toward your shoulder. This will stop him from crushing your trachea. Also try to get control of his hands. Just by holding his wrist you have severely limited what he can do. He would find it hard to draw and use his weapon, you would limit his ability to hit you, and make it very hard to rape you. Remember that time is on your side. He has to work quickly or get caught and your screams will make this time seem like hours to him.
A short article is not a replacement for a good self defense class but it will give you a start and put you in the right mind set. In the class you have an opportunity to apply what you learn. Also, look into a non-lethal self defense device. A 135 pound woman armed with pepper spray and 500,000 volts is going to be able to take any man. Both the stun gun can be the size of a marker. Big things can come in little packages.
Homes may be our most sacred place, but burglars and other criminals won’t care about this. If they wish to invade the sanctity of your home, they’ll do so. The only way to deter them right from the start is to let them know – or at least think – that your home won’t be as easy a target as they think.
Outsmart Attackers with Female Voice Changer
Physically speaking, women may be the weaker sex. It’s why attackers of all kinds tend to prefer to attack homes with female members, especially if they happen to be alone. You can, however, outsmart them and make them think twice about attacking your home with a female voice changer.
Pretend that You Are Not Alone
Use the female voice changer to adapt different voices when answering the phone. This will make your attackers think that you are not alone in the house and have more than one person with you.
Fool Would-Be Stalkers
Women are more likely to be targeted by stalkers than men. The whys and how’s don’t matter. What you should be concerned about is preventing your stalkers from contacting you. If a stranger is calling you, use the female voice changer and convince them that they have the wrong number.
Discourage Prank Callers
Prank callers and other people who harass you through phone calls may also be discouraged from repeating such undesirable acts with your female voice changer. If you warn them off using your own voice, they might not take you seriously. But if you use a different voice and speak to them in a more threatening fashion, that could make them think twice about calling you again.
Remember to Be Consistent
The female voice changer will be more effective in keeping you safe if you remember to be consistent. If you use a particular voice with a particular person for a particular reason, remember to do the same if that person calls again.
Try creating a credible persona and schedule for the various voices you use with the female voice changer. A male adult who’s with you even during working hours should be someone who may be currently vacationing at your home and one who works at night.
Charge!
Finally, be sure that your female voice charger is fully charged or plugged to the socket. Your secret will be out if your female voice changer suddenly loses power and reveal your true voice. Don’t wait for that to happen!
You only need a glimpse of crime statistics from the FBI to realize just how dangerous the outside world can be. Every time you leave your home, every time you walk the streets alone, every time you find yourself in a dark place – all these represent a risk on your life that you’re taking. Do yourself a favor and protect yourself with a self-defense whistle.
The self-defense whistle is ideal for individuals who strongly prefer not to engage in a physical fight with their assailant. It could be due to your personal principles or because you believe that you are seriously disadvantaged in such fights. Whatever the case may be, a self-defense whistle is your best weapon against criminal attacks.
Indeed, many a crime could have been prevented and lives could have been saved even if only would-be victims had been able to successfully call for help. But of course, screaming loud enough takes time and energy – two things that you may not have the luxury of when you’re running for your life.
Calling for help, however, need not require the use of your voice if you have a self-defense whistle.
Loud and Clear
Self-defense whistles in the market today emit a very loud and shrill whistling sound with a minimum of a 100 decibel alarm. You may even find some models using a 120-decibel alarm.
Such volume is imperative for your life’s safety: one little blow and you’re sure to get people’s attention. Just one clear look on your situation is all you need and help is sure to come immediately.
Compact Design
Self-defense whistles are small and handy. They often come in the form of key chains and as such, they won’t look out of place if you have them in your hands all the time or chained to your belt strap or pocket. You may even attach them to a necklace for quicker access. What’s important here is that self-defense whistles are small enough to bring with you at all times. That way, you’ll have 24/7 protection wherever you are.
Flashing Lights
A whistle in a silent night may be an effective signal for help, but darkness can prevent you from enjoying a timely rescue. Using a self-defense whistle – and not just whistling yourself – will, however, changes things. Self-defense whistles today also come with flashing lights to help your would-be rescuer pinpoint your exact location.
With self-defense whistles, there is no need to get close enough to hit your attacker. Just blow away and help will come running.
