We all have that thought in the back of our heads “What if I’m attacked?” even a woman of my size and strength thinks about it from time to time because one of my biggest worries is being attack from behind and caught off guard, I can handle an attack I see coming but the element of surprise can make a lot of difference.
With most self defense items the would be attacker can see you have it before it is used, now how is the attacker ever going to learn their lesson if they never feel the bite of that stun gun or the sting of that pepper spray or mace because they get the chance to see it before attacking and back off?
The answer is simple: catch them by surprise!
Below are some links of small, discreet self defense items that can be used to catch an attacker off guard just as they would catch you off guard and to teach those would be attackers a lesson they’ll never forget!
Small, easy to grab and use and fits right on your hip in a normal looking cell phone holder. Looks like a normal cell phone and they’d never expect the bite this baby has! Well priced too so you won’t have to spend a fortune to teach those would be attackers a lesson!
Tiny, disguised to look like a normal lipstick case which can easily be slipped into your pocket or purse. Very well priced. Only worry I have with this item is that it may be hard to get to in time if you are caught off guard by an attacker or if you keep it in your purse and your purse gets knocked off. With this I would say to keep it in hand when walking, after all, this little guy won’t look funny in the palm of your hand.
At hand at all times, looks just like a normal ring and there is near no chance of it being knocked out of your reach! Decently priced, not a bad looking accessory either. It uses the strongest pepper spray formula on the market so you can bet this baby has a sting!

Oh the cream of the crop in non-lethal self defense, they aren’t as discreet as the other items I’ve listed, they aren’t cheap, but they ARE very effective, some models even come with a lifetime replacement so if used in self defense and left behind to give the attacker the full 30 seconds of shock while you escape, just send them the police report and they replace it. Not as discreet as the other items but very effective!
Of course I’m going to also stress the importance of hand to hand combat skills, these attackers, they get off on power, on controlling another human being, on imposing their wants on an unwilling victim, many of them are larger people and one day you may not have self defense items with you thus you must use your body as a weapon! Most say to take self defense classes but honestly, though effective, sometimes those aren’t enough. Attackers want to hurt you so you must be willing to hurt them, you must be willing to do whatever you must to keep yourself safe even if it means seriously injuring your attacker! You must have as much disregard for their safety as they have for yours, you must not see an attacker as a fellow human being, you must see them as an immediate threat to your health and life and deal with them accordingly!
Take self defense classes if it makes you feel better, but my personal suggestion would be boxing classes, mixed martial arts and maybe wrestling classes if you feel up to it, fighting styles that can really hurt your attacker, after all, an attacker doesn’t give a damn if they injure you, so why should you give a damn if you injure them?!
Oh, and those of you who have that “It won’t happen to me” mentality, my question is: What will you do if it does?
