Are you ill at ease while walking alone? Getting a weird vibe from metro co-passengers? Catcalling or nasty looks from a stranger on the street? Every woman has had a brush with at least one of these uncomfortable situations at some point. In fact, there are stats to prove the same. In a 2017 survey, 100% of the women participants reported experiencing some form of sexual harassment.
As a woman, you already know how scary it gets sometimes. But there has to be an end to this fear, right? We can’t live like this forever and that is why a solid self defence plan should be your top priority. Now, while learning a few knock-down techniques or martial arts can work to your advantage, it might not always be feasible for you to train. This is why we recommend self defence tools. Not only can they help you in case of your brush with a predator, but will also make you feel way more confident while stepping out alone.
We’ve already got you covered in the research department and have found the best protective gear in the market. The icing on the cake is that these tools are just as cool as they’re effective for fending off attackers. Scroll through to check out the nifty tools;
Impower Defence Spray
Impower Defence Spray by Sirona is a fantastic guarding aid. Its bottle is specially designed to provide a firm grip and prevent slipping. Just one spritz is potent enough to throw the attacker at the deep end of severe burning sensation, breathing difficulty, and tearing. In fact, it works even if the striker is at a long distance from you. The best part is that it comes with a clip and can be easily hooked onto your pocket or belt. With an accessory like that on exhibit, we wonder who’d dare to mess with you in the first place!
The Eagle Ring By CSIYAN
This metallic ring comes with a pointed edge and a hinged joint in the centre for easy movement. It can be worn on the finger while stepping out. In case of an attack, you can use it to scratch and poke the perpetrator when they come close. It is sure to leave them in pain and buy you enough time to escape. It doubles up as a cool accessory too and adds a gothic-punk vibe to your look too.
Knuckle Claws By Ubersweet
This one reminds us of Alexander McQueen’s classic clutch handles. But it’s not all fashion. One tight punch with this knuckle claw on and it will take forever for the attacker to recover from that painful knock.
3-In-One Safe Escape By Sabre
This is a full-fledged protection gear that gives you three-layered protection. It contains high-power pepper gel that can stick to the attacker’s skin and leave them writhing in pain. It also comes with a sharp snap tool to cut seat belts and a glass breaker to help you escape in case you’re trapped.
Self-Defence Keychain By Shero India
Don’t go by the cute appearance of this chic wristlet that comes with a pompom. It will do its job well in a threatening situation. It comes with a knuckle claw, a whistle, a refillable mini pepper spray, a window breaker, and a belt cutter. You can put it inside your bag or flaunt it as a keychain/a bag charm.
That’s it, fam! With these cool self defence weapons in your kitty, you can step out feeling more confident as well as stylish.
