If you are planning to buy self-defense products, and have no idea which one to choose, this article will definitely save you both - time and money! If you are looking for something that is easy to use and carry around, then consider buying a pepper spray.

Pepper spray

Pepper spray is one of the best choices as a self-defense option for women.

Advantages:

* It can be easily concealed,
* easy to use
* highly effective
* affordable
* ideal for women that are not comfortable with a gun

There are different kinds of types. Basically, you should choose whether you want it small and discreet, like a pepper spray in the form of a pen, lipstick (woman love this one) or a cell-phone? Or do you feel more confident with a bigger spray with several shots? What range are you planning to shot? Some offer a range of 12 feet and others are only effective at a range of 4-5 feet. In a subway against a single attacker, for example, the latter would give you enough protection. If you want more protection on the streets against several attackers, go for a bigger spray ...
... with a wider range.

Disadvantages:

* they are illegal in some states, so check your state regulations before buying
* if attacker is on drugs, pepper spray will have little or no effect
* if there is even a slight breeze toward your direction, you will get a "doze" as well

Taser - Taser C2

First of all, let me clear it up: there is a big difference between Taser and Stun Guns! Taser is one of the most powerful and effective non-lethal devices that you can find on the market. The main difference between these two is that stun guns require you to make direct contact with the target. Unlike tasers, stun guns use a low amerage and require a higher voltage. Tasers are designed to subdue an attacker with an electro-shock. Taser has proven itself very effective, and as far as I know there is only positive feedback for Taser C2.

Is your home protected?

Technology is out there to make our life simple. So as you use technology to cook, receive information, drive and much more, you can also use to protect yourself and your house! Motion alarms are incredibly cheap, can easily be installed and almost don't require maintenance. An electronic barking dog is ideal if you leave at a house with few neighbors. A voice alert talking alarm will do the same trick, with the advantage of being more credible. A door brace can be a vital reinforcement to your old door.

Making sure your child is safe!

The safety of children is a huge headache for parents. Of course, even if you carry a self-defense weapon yourself, your child don't have this option, even if it is a non-lethal self-defense weapon. New technology is also in this case at our disposition. The first product you could check are child guard monitors. It consists of a transmitter that sends constant signals to a receiver. If the child leaves a range between 10 and 20 feet, the receiver starts to beep and you know something is happening. Your second option is a kinderguard home safety kit. Typically it comprises a set of 12 items in total: 2 Cabinet Latches, a cabinet lock, a door know guard, 4 outlet plugs, and 4 croner cushions. It is a set of the 12 best selling child safety products and a must have item.
