There are many reasons you should consider carrying a canister of pepper spray. However, a canister of disguised pepper spray can be your best option. This is because it gives the attacker a bigger surprise, results in a better shot, looks like something else, and makes you feel more confident.

 

Pepper sprays come in many different types of containers that are disguises that look real. You can find pepper spray in many different containers like a tube of lipstick. This way you may appear to be grabbing at your lipstick but really give him a shot in the face instead. You can purchase pepper spray in the form of a pager with a side clasp on it. This will allow you to wear your pepper spray on your belt buckle or even put it on the visor in the car. This gives you quick and easy access to it without fumbling around in your purse or briefcase for it.

 

When you use pepper spray in a lipstick container the attacker has no idea that is what you are grabbing for. When an attacker sees a regular canister of pepper spray he will probably block his face and eyes and it may cause the effectiveness of the pepper spray not to be as effective as possible. When you use pepper spray in a container and the assailant doesn't know that you have pepper spray then he is not expecting it. He is also not blocking his face, which will allow you to get the best shot into the eyes and face possible. One good shot of the oleoresin capsicum (OC) in the face can disable the person for up to 30 minutes.

 

Pepper spray is a very low cost personal protection device for self defense. Violent crimes across the United States occur almost every 20 seconds. A rape, murder or even a kidnapping could be prevented with a simple $15 - $30 investment of a canister of pepper spray. Women are extremely vulnerable and it is important to give them confidence by knowing how to use a container of pepper spray.

 

When you get a canister of pepper spray that is disguised you have the best opportunity to stick it to him and get the best shot in the face. Although, you still must practice spraying your pepper spray and getting the canister quickly from where you carry it. If you have a pepper spray that is in the form of a lipstick container or a pager you may have different ways to use it. You must know how to activate the canister and how to get it to spray for at least 2-3 seconds.

 

When you are considering items for self defense you should consider disguised items.

You can get a shot into the attacker's face with the spray that is clear and solid. This will ensure your shot is effective and you are able to get away from the assailant.
